The Jaguar Mark VII is a large four-door luxury car made between 1951 and 1956.

The Mark VII chassis came from the Jaguar Mark V but the new car's body looked was streamlined, with integrated headlights and mudguards, a two-piece windscreen, longer rear overhang and rear wheels partially covered by removable spats.

The Mark VII was powered by the newly developed XK engine. First seen in production form in the 1948 XK120, the 3442 cc straight-six provided 160 bhp and the saloon's claimed top speed was over 100 mph, making it the fastest production saloon car in the world at the time.

The Mark VII M was launched at the London Motor Show in October 1954. Although the engine continued with the same capacityc it was uprated to 190 bhp, giving the car a claimed top speed of 104 mph. Distinguishing the Mark VII M from its predecessor, circular grilles over the horns were installed below the headlights in place of the former integrated auxiliary lamps, which were moved slightly further apart and mounted on the bumper.
