Verkäuferkommentare zu 1948' Jaguar 1.5 Sports Saloon
Firstly for those unfamiliar with the model a little information lifted from Wikipedia giving some background to the cars, which people also refer to (incorrectly) as SS Jaguars, there is only a little to get through before you reach the specifics of our car.
"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 1½ litre, Jaguar 2½ litre and Jaguar 3½ litre with the Mark IV name later applied in retrospect to separate this model from the succeeding Mark V range.The range was a return to production of the SS Jaguar 1½ litre, 2½ litre and 3½ litre models produced by SS Cars from 1935 to 1940.[1] Before World War II the model name Jaguar was given to all cars in the range built by SS Cars Ltd with the saloons titled SS Jaguar 1½ litre, 2½ litre or 3½ litre and the two-seater sports cars the SS Jaguar 100 2½ litre or 3½ litre. In March 1945 the company name SS Cars Ltd was changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd.[2]All the Mark IVs were built on a separate chassis frame with suspension by semi-elliptic leaf springs on rigid axles front and rear.The smallest model of the range originally featured a 1608 cc side valve Standard engine but from 1938 this was replaced by a 1776 cc overhead-valve unit still from Standard who also supplied the four-speed manual transmission.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-engined brothers.[3]Despite its lack of out-and-out performance, a report of the time, comparing the 4-cylinder 1½-litre with its 6-cylinder siblings, opined that the smallest-engined version of the car was "as is often the case ... the sweetest running car" with a "big car cruising gait in the sixties, Mechanically operated brakes using a Girling system were fitted"
Our car was purchased 10 years ago from the south of England, having been in the hands of an enthusiastic owner for many years prior, she spent some time in Guernsey and there is a buff logbook from this period showing reg 14191, and also shows she was previously registered as J522, the S reg was assigned when she was "imported" from Guernsey in 1978, it would be simple process to have a plate assigned which reflected its true age, we have no history prior to that time, although I would be amazed if there is not a lot more to be found out about her.
She is essentially a very original car, still with mostly original unmolested and well patinated interior, she has had all necessary work to keep her running we recently replaced the gearbox with a good functioning second hand unit, in recent years she has had an engine and steering box rebuild, there are some blemsihes to the bodywork which need remedied, I would imagine a few days in a competent bodyshop would have her up to scratch
I have further photos on file which I can email to interested parties
Anyone seriously interested call me on 0131 440 3475 and I will walk you around the car describing as we go,
