1948 Jaguar Mark IV Navigation
This 1948 Jaguar Mark IV 3½-Litre Drophead Coupe is a left-hand-drive example that was completed on May 3rd of 1948 and shipped on May 28th to S.H. Lynch & Co., the distributor in Texas. The first owner and early history in the U.S. have not been recorded. The car has been restored to Concours edition and finished in Garnet Red with matching leather interior. The three-position top is done in beige canvas.
The restoration was completed two decades ago, and the nut-and-bolt restoration took three years to complete. After the work was completed, it achieved 1st place honors at such Concours as Palo Alto, Santa Rosa, Hillsborough, and Silverado. It has scored the Jaguar Club of North America honors from 1992 and as recently as 2017. Also in 2017, it was awarded People's Choice at the International Jaguar Festival and a Presidential Award at Hilton Head in 2016.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2018
