Seller's comments about 1957' Jaguar Mark VIII
The Jaguar Mark VIII is a large four-door sedan with a sporty character that appeared at the 1956 London Motor Show.
The Mk VIII resembled a Jaguar Mark VII from the outside, but its interior was much more luxurious. External differences can be found in the radiator grille, the location of the fog lamps, the size of the taillights and the curved finish of the car's waist. Like its predecessor, the Mk VIII was also available in a two-color paint scheme, and had an additional curved, one-piece windshield. The offered copy was imported from the USA and has a steering wheel on the left side, which makes it even more unique. It is equipped with a 3,442 cc inline six-cylinder engine producing 210 hp and a maximum torque of 292 Nm. The specimen is equipped with a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox and a rear-wheel drive. During the 3 years of production, only 6227 units came off the line. With 6,227 copies, the MK VIII is by far the rarest model of the three Big Cats. On the other hand, over 30,000 MK VII and over 10,000 MK IX were produced. Part of the MK VIII fell victim to the great fire at the Browns Lane factory in 1957.
The offered copy was imported from the USA, from Pennsylvania.
The vehicle is 95% complete, garaged all the time.
The car was custom-made by Catal J. Ormando, as evidenced by a plate on the dashboard.
An interesting fact is that the presented copy appeared in the music video for the song Fart by Neuoberschlesien. The checked car starts and drives.
I think that this copy is a great base for a unique project.
