Car History:

New, modernized, but still having a great similarity with its predecessor, the MK V model was slipped in by Bill Lyons, Jaguar founder, as a step in the production developing program. The changes made to transmission system were of marked: front wheels individually mounted allowed a better use of its potential, without being a danger for the driver or its passengers. Giving up the small four cylinders engine indicated the direction Jaguar was heading to. The offer contains only six cylinders engines with two different capacities. The Cabrio version had the roof with possibility to open only from the front chair, same as Coupé de Ville.
