Jaguar MK VII M: Historically significant due to its 1956 Monte Carlo Rally victory, and only in this configuration a true contender for the Mille Miglia in Italy.
The Jaguar saloons of the 1950s were vehicles of style, elegance, and performance.
Compared to Bentleys or Rolls-Royces of the same era, the Jaguar saloons—equipped with the C-cylinder head—were the big fish in a small pond.
This MK VII M, the top-of-the-line model of 1955 and 1956, has been visually enhanced with cut-out spats and picnic tables integrated into the seatbacks, thus bringing it in line with the appearance of the later MK 9 models. The TÜV-compliant whitewall trim further emphasizes the elegance of this classic car.
The color combination of "Maroon" exterior and "Tan" interior harmonizes beautifully and is extremely rare.
Inside, you'll find a completely refurbished interior: walnut burl wood trim, fine leather including on the door panels, new carpets, and a new headliner (replaced in 2012).
