The postwar market was treated to a healthy lineup of vehicles from Jaguar including 1.5-, 2.5-, and 3.5-liter sedans. The export market was an important part of Jaguar's business, and the American market received only six-cylinder models. These early postwar cars, retrospectively known as the Mark IV, gained a strong following, especially for the Three-Position Drophead Coupe. Of the 4,420 3.5-liter Mark IVs produced in total by Jaguar, only 560 were Drophead Coupes. Just 376 3.5-liter Mark IVs were built for export.
This example was originally sold through the Hoffman, California Jaguar dealership in 1948. It was finished in black paintwork with beige leather and a sand three-position top. The current owner acquired the car in 2002, and prior to its purchase, it had been given a body-off-frame restoration.
The overhead-valve six-cylinder engine has SU side-draft carburetors and produces 125 horsepower. There is a Moss four-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at RM Auction's sale in Amelia Island, Florida. It was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $120,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $90,000 inclusive of buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2012
