Picture dated July 2015

Introduced in 1956, the MkVIII was the penultimate version of Jaguar's flagship luxury saloon that had debuted as the MkVII back in 1950.

A considerable improvement on what had gone before, the cruciform-braced chassis featured torsion-bar independent front suspension and all-round hydraulic brakes. The 3.4-litre 'six' had already demonstrated its prowess in the XK120 and proved capable of propelling the MkVII's not inconsiderable bulk past 100mph.

Slightly more than 6,000 MkVIIIs had been produced by the time the 3.8-litre MkIX arrived in 1958. Only 158 survivors are known to the International MkVIII Register.
