The Jaguar Mark 1 is a saloon car produced by Jaguar between 1955 and 1959. Referred to in contemporary company documentation as the Jaguar 2.4-litre and Jaguar 3.4-litre, the word "Saloon" was often added. The designation "Mark 1" was included retrospectively upon its replacement by the Mark 2 in October 1959. The 2.4-litre was the company's first small saloon since the demise of its 11/2 and 21/2 Litre cars in 1949, and was an immediate success, easily outselling the larger Jaguar saloons.MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present the exquisite 1958 Jaguar Mark 1 you see pictured.
