1953 Jaguar Mark VII Sedan

This 1953 Jaguar Mark VII Sedan was retailed through Hansen-MacPhee Engineering of Lexington, Mass. and sold to Mr. Edmonds Sr. of Fairfield, Connecticut. The date of delivery was May 18th of 1953 and had a purchase price of $4,190. It came finished in the dove gray bodywork and a red interior, the same colors it currently wears. In 1955, the car was uprated to XK120M engine specs with high-lift cams. The 3442cc inline 6-cylinder engine has 2 SU carburetors which help develop 160 bhp at 5,200 RPM. There is a four-speed manual transmission, independent front suspension, live rear axle, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

By the late 1970s, it had accrued 55,580 miles on its odometer. The car has never been restored but maintained and lightly refurbished when necessary. More recently, the front seats were renewed in red leather to match the original.
