William Lyon's line of SS cars was renamed to Jaguar by 1945, coinciding with the commencement of post-war production. The designs, just like most other established automakers, used designs from the pre-war era. The MKV Series was powered by the existing six-cylinder overhead-valve engine that came in both 2.5- and 3.5-liter forms. There were slight changes to the aesthetics in the post-war era, such as faired-in headlamps, deeper bumpers, and rear wheel spats. It came in various body styles including drophead coupe or saloon, and were well equipped with proper luxurious amenities.
There were around 395 examples of the Jaguar MKV Drophead Coupe created. This particular example was manufactured in June of 1950 and then sent to the United States. The first owner was Miss Lena Horne, the famous jazz singer and actress who is best known for her performance in the 1943 20th Century Fox movie 'Stormy Weather.'
The current owner purchased the car in 2006. The following year it was offered for sale at auction. It is equipped with a tool kit. At the 2007 Bonhams Auction, An Important Sale of Collectors' Motorcars and Automobilia, held at the Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club in Carmel, California, the car was sold for $98,000 including premiums and taxes.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
