This 1956 Jaguar Mark VII M is a left-hand drive example that was refurbished in the early 2000s and is said to have remained with the family of its original owner until it was purchased by the current owner in 2011. The car is finished in blue over matching leather upholstery, and power comes from a 3.4-liter inline-six paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes twin SU carburetors, dual fuel tanks and electric fuel pumps, 16” wheels, a split windshield, a sliding sunroof, fender skirts, burl wood interior trim, and an AM/FM radio. Maintenance performed in February 2024 consisted of a carburetor adjustment, a cleaning of the fuel system, and an oil change. This Mark VII M is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with factory literature, tools, service records, refurbishment photos, and a clean Missouri title.

This example was repainted blue in the 2000s and features a grille bar, fender-mounted mirrors, a split windshield, a sliding sunroof, and fender skirts. Imperfections in the finish are noted by the seller.

Body-color steel wheels wear bright hubcaps and trim rings and are mounted with 6.50–16 Firestone bias-ply whitewall tires that were installed in 2017. A full-size spare wheel is stowed under a cover in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by drums at all four corners.

The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in blue leather along with color-matched door panels and carpets. Burl wood trim accents the dashboard, windows, and front seatback, and equipment includes a Jaguar-branded AM/FM radio, twin gloveboxes, tool kits that fold into the front doors, Jaguar-branded front floor mats, front and rear lap belts, and a rear armrest.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts centrally mounted Smiths instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, auxiliary gauges, and a reverse-sweep tachometer. The inset clock does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 61k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.4-liter inline-six is equipped with dual overhead camshafts and two SU carburetors, and it was factory rated at 190 horsepower. The carburetors were rebuilt in 2016 at which time a replacement distributor cap, rotor, and ignition condenser were installed. Service in February 2024 included an oil change and a carburetor adjustment.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Dual electric fuel pumps were installed in 2018 and the fuel tanks were drained and cleaned in February 2024.

Chassis number is 739332BW and the car is titled using engine number N11438, which is stamped on the chassis plate as well as the cylinder head.

Factory literature, correspondence between the original owner and Jaguar Cars.
