1950 Jaguar Mark V 2.5-Litre Saloon 'Landaulette'
$49,500 USD | Sold
Vintage Motor Cars At Meadow Brook Hall 2007, Lot 282
Chassis No. 520990
• Offered from the Estate of John O'Quinn
• Converted from an original Saloon to a striking Landaulette
• Restored in the early 2000s; Best Saloon, 2003 West Palm Beach Concours
• Complete with restoration photos, documents and JDHT Certificate
This car began life as a right-hand drive, home-market Mark V saloon with body number G5937, and Mr. Walter Gilling, its original owner, took delivery from Jack Olding & Co. Ltd. of London, England on March 16, 1950. It joined its current collection in mid-2007 after having been located by the prior owner in England, where at some point it had been converted to the Landaulette body style characterized by a fixed roof above the driver and a retractable top above the passengers. Drawn to its uniqueness, she purchased the car and brought it back with her to the USA. In 2002, a complete body-off-frame, photo-documented restoration commenced, and once completed, the freshly restored Mark V Landaulette was entered into the November 2003 West Palm Beach Concours d'Elegance, where it won the Best Saloon award.
While the restoration has aged somewhat, this distinctive Mark V presents nicely in a cream and white exterior finish with a tan leather interior and matching wool carpets. The car retains its original 2.5-liter engine and is complete with a comprehensive portfolio containing photographs and paperwork documenting the entire restoration process, as well as a Production Record Trace Certificate issued by the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust.
