Powered by the 220bhp version of the 3.8ltr. engine, the Mk.IX was the last of the big separate chassis saloons, plus all disc brakes and power assisted steering. Choice of manual or automatic transmissions, but more automatics..

 

In the luxury car market, the Jaguar Mk IX was very competitively priced, selling for ₤1995 with manual gearbox, ₤2063 with overdrive, and ₤2163 with automatic transmission, which was less than half the price of similar competitors.

A 1957 Jaguar Mk.VIII was featured prominantly in the Hitchcock film Vertigo though not in its original colour, the car was resprayed a Riley Metalic Almond Green under Hitchcocks instrucion, because he wanted to feature its female driver (one of the films main characters) primaryly in green.
