Jaguar mkV Concourse saloon 3.5litre 1949
Straight 6 pushrod ohv engine producing nothing crazy a 125hp as James May would say it’s fantastically slow.
Royal heritage feeling in the presence of this sightly graceful work of art.
She pretty much stole the show with winning best restoration. Best classic vehicle, car of the show and the club won the best club stand trophy
Every inch of the car has be restored, I was told that the owner puts parts of the original interior inside the car to give the inside classic car smell which works really well as the inside oozes the smell of what I would imagine the smell of early classics do.

The origin of the Mark V name, always printed in company documents as a Roman numeral V, never an Arabic number 5, is somewhat mysterious as there had been no Mk I to IV Jaguars and the MK IV designation was only given to its predecessor after the launch of the Mark V.

Chairman and chief stylist William Lyons (Sir William after 1956) and his team of body-shop assistants known as panel beaters put together five prototype bodies with various chassis experiments in the 1946-1948 period before he was satisfied with the result, and the chosen one was known as Mark V in internal documents. Lyons explained this in a speech given on 30 September 1948 to introduce the new car to distributors and members of the press, so that is how the Mark V got its name. A photograph of the discarded prototypes survives with the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.
