1950 Jaguar MKV 3.5 Saloon

Lot Number: 412

Estimate: £14,000 - 16,000

V5 Present

MoT Exempt

Chassis number: 622246

Remarkably, this stately 1950 Jaguar MkV 3.5‑Litre has had just two owners during its 71‑year life. It was restored over 1996/1997 by its second owner, in its original colours of Seafrost and Black, complemented by a tan leather interior. The vendor tells us that the woodwork and leather have also been done. A bonus is a full toolkit in the boot. 

The history folder includes the V5C, assorted invoices dating back to 1991, and a laminated copy of an article that ran in the December 2003 Classic Cars magazine featuring the car. There's also what looks like an original lubrication chart and MoTs from 1997 (90,610 miles) to 2005 (93,531 miles). The current odometer reading is 94,681 miles. Also included are some photos of the car during various periods of its life, including being used on wedding duties.

‘KYU126’ is a two-tone example of the post-war MKV Jaguar in optimal 3.5-litre saloon and from the penultimate year of production. ‘KYU126’ is remarkable for being in the hands of just its third owner despite its 75-year age. The current owner acquired ‘KYU126’ at auction in 2021 with the Jaguar having covered less than 10 miles since then. The available MOT history also confirms that only around 800 miles have been covered since 2006. This MKV is a home market specified and supplied right hand drive model hailing from 1950. Just under 6,000 in this specification were originally made with the Jaguar Drivers’ Club knowing of just 81 remaining as far back as 1988. That number will have likely significantly decreased by now. ‘KYU126’ is thought to have been restored in the mid 1990’s to include paintwork and interior. With an MOT exemption and zero rating for road tax based on its age, ‘KYU126’ is offered with some insightful supporting paperwork and photographs from various periods of its long history. Comes to us from the large collection of an individual enthusiast.‘KYU126’ is finished in distinctive, two tone Seafrost and Black with impressive “double-decker” chromed bumpers. The saloon style body provides room for five adults and is trimmed in a tan leather with accents of chrome and varnished, wooden veneers which were refurbished during the restoration, too. It is further reported that a full, original toolkit is present in the boot.

‘‘KYU126’s’ 3.5-litre pushrod engine is based on a Standard design but built by Jaguar and rendered it as the top of the MKV range, producing around a quoted 120bhp. This was found to be good for in excess of 90mph back in its day. A four speed manual gearbox also features. So good was ‘KYU126’s’ restoration, that it appeared in a Classic Cars magazine feature in December 2003. A laminated copy of this article is reported to be present in the paperwork archive.

In summary:

A very rare, striking two-tone example of the MKV Jaguar

Just three owners to date and the subject of a diligent restoration in the mid 1990’s
