History
The Jaguar Mark IV (pronounced mark four) is a range of automobiles built by Jaguar Cars from 1945 to 1949. The cars were marketed as the Jaguar 11⁄2 litre, Jaguar 21⁄2 litre and Jaguar 31⁄2 litre with the Mark IV name later applied in retrospect to separate this model from the succeeding Mark V range. Pre-war the car was available as a saloon or drophead coupé but post war only the closed model was made. Up to 1938 body construction on all the models was by the traditional steel on wood method but in that year, it changed to all steel.
Performance was not a strong point, but 70 mph (113 km/h) was possible: the car featured the same cabin dimensions and well-appointed interior as its longer-engine brothers. Despite its lack of out-and- out performance, a report of the time, comparing the 4-cylinder 11⁄2-litre with its 6-cylinder siblings, opined that the smallest- engine version of the car was "as is often the case ... the sweetest running car" with a "big car cruising gait in the sixties". The 31⁄2 Litre, introduced in 1938, was essentially the same body and chassis as the 21⁄2 Litre but the larger 125 bhp engine gave better performance but at the expense of the economy. The rear axle ratio was 4.25:1 as opposed to the 4.5:1 on the 21⁄2 Litre.
