Launch and Production Run
Jaguar introduced the Mk V at the 1948 London Motor Show and continued production through 1951, offering a post‑war luxury saloon that quickly became a hallmark of the brand.
Export‑Heavy Success
Nearly two‑thirds of the Mk V’s output was destined for export, with the United States receiving the bulk of those cars. The sedan body style accounted for over ninety percent of the model’s total production.
Rarity of Certain Parts
Today, specific components such as the oil pump and rev‑counter drive shaft are considered scarce, as noted by classic‑car enthusiasts. A 1950 barn‑find example showed most major trim pieces intact, but the original factory tool kit was missing.
