1960 Jaguar Mk IX Saloon
Replacing the Mk V Jaguar was the Mk VII (no Mk VI) same chassis as the Mk V but an all new body.
The Jaguar Mark VII, Mark VIII and Mark IX were all very similar to look at.
The 1950-56 Mk VII, new streamlined body, integrated headlights and 2 piece windscreen, and longer rear overhang, still had the spats over the rear wheels, engine; 3442cc 6 cylinder.
The 1957-59 MK VIII; more luxurious interior, now a one piece windscreen, fog lamps relocated, now round vents on the front panel. A curved chrome trim strip was added below the waistline, spats were cut back,
The 1958-61 MK IX; more powerful 3781cc engine, 4 wheel disc brakes.
Visually the early Mark IXs were identical in appearance to the Mark VIII except for the 'Mk IX' badge on the boot lid. Later versions had a larger tail-lamp assembly.
Engine; 220hp 3781cc 6 cyl
