While not pioneering any technical innovation that characterised
the post-war Jaguar models, no one could deny the SS100's
fine performance, handling, styling, build quality and
competitive price. More >> |

1948 - 1951
At the 1948 Motor Show, Jaguar was to unveil both the
Mk. V and XK 120 - the first new design post war Jaguars.

model for the Mk V range. More >> |

1948 - 1954
Designed to be a low-volume dream car rather than a high
production motor car, the Jaguar XK120/140/150 became
an overnight sensation and highly profitable. More >> |

1954 - 1957
The new Jaguar XK140 featured similar body pressings as the XK120, but the doors were now 3 inches longer as the engine, bulkhead and windscreen had been moved forward to improve the interior space. More >> |

1955 - 1957
Although Jaguar were to leave racing at the end of 1956,
private teams would continue to enjoy success driving
the D-Type. At the 1957 Le Mans, D-Types were to finish
first, second, third, fourth and sixth! A great success,
but without the arch rival Mercedes Benz perhaps not terribly
suprising. More >> |

1956 - 1959

1961 - 1970
This car still holds the title as being the broadest British
production saloon being 1.93 metres across its rear. It

was half the price of its rivals. More >> |

1961 - 1975
The Mk. II was the last proper sports saloon made by Jaguar
and became somewhat of a 60's icon. Quiet, comfortable
and stately in appearance, under the Mk. II bonet lay
an eager and impressive motor capable of 201 km/h in 3.8
liter form. More >> |

1961 - 1975
This car was arguably the most beautiful sportscar of
the 1960's with its cool aerodynamics and unashamed showmanship. More >> |

1967
Although the Bertone Jaguar Pirana was never intended to be more than a concept car, it was a fully functioning vehicle worthy of supercar status, and more importantly was completed in record time using parts already available courtesy of an E-Type donor car. More >> |

1968 - 1987
The XJ6 was launched in 1968 with a design that boasted
ride comfort, quietness and great road-handling. It was
a front-engined, rear-wheel drive, coil-sprung saloon
and had a ride that was softer and quieter than a Rolls
Royce. More >> |

1975 - 1991
Launched as the replacement for the E-type in 1975, and
available in either coupe or convertible format, the XJ-S
is now getting the recognition it deserves. More >> |
