Peter Clark—1948 Jaguar 3.5 DHC100_1749

Pronounced Mark Four, the Jaguar Mark IV was a saloon vehicle built by Jaguar from 1945 through 1950, and was a re-launch of a pre WWII model produced by SS Car Ltd from 1936.The company was renamed Jaguar Cars Ltd. after the war. The nomenclature ‘Mark IV' was applied by the trade to simply differentiate it from the officially named Mark V. The Saloons were named SS Jaguar 1 ½ litre, 2 ½ liter or 3 ½ liter.

 Never officially designated, the Jaguar MK IV was the nomenclature set aside for the range of immediately post-war saloons. The name Jaguar has always been synonymous with luxury, prestige and extravagance. Jaguar's first postwar model, the three-position drophead coupe was distinctive, captivating and extravagant. Extremely rare today, the MK IV was an extremely desirable vehicle and one of the few postwar cars that is considered a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America.

Introduced in 1945, the MK IV was visibly recognized by its classic lines and rugged simplicity. The outside of the car was marked by a long hood, large freestanding headlamps, a narrow, close-coupled body, flowing separate font fenders and an upright radiator capped by the Jaguar mascot. The interior featured high-quality furnishings that included a traditionalBritish wood dash with large, easily readable marked dials. Jaguar's first cars after WWII were essentially continuations of the 1938-39 models. The Jaguar Mark IV 1.5 liter model rode a six-inch shorter wheelbase and featured a four cylinder rather than a six-cylinder engine. The 1.5 liter's top speed was around 70 mph while the 3.5 liter could achieve more than 90 mph. A total of 5,761 1.5 liter Jaguar Mark IV's were produced, 1,861 2.5 liters and 4,420 of the 3.5 liter models. The Mark IV featured a wheelbase of 112.5 inches, an overall length of 173.0 inches, and had a weight of 2,970 lbs.

Clark’s 1948 Jaguar was manufactured in  Coventry, England in October, 1948. It was originally conceived as L.H.D. but while on the production line was changed to R.H.D. The first listed car dealer was  Henleys of Manchester and the first owners were Mr. & Mrs. Vincent. In 1964, It was shipped  to  Binghampton, New York  and a year later in 1965 was sold to  Mr. Donald O’Rourke.

In 1967 the car was moved to  Olney, Maryland, and in 1991 sold to  Dr. Ingram. Also in 1991 Chuck Anderson of Salisbury, Maryland  completed a restoration.  Later, Mr. Anderson moved to Venice, Florida. Twelve years later, it was purchased by Slvia and Peter Clark,, current owners.
