• Concours-quality restoration completed in 2000
• One of 376 3.5-liter export-market Mark IVs built
• The first postwar Jaguar model

Jaguar met the immediate postwar market in 1945 with its trusty 1.5-, 2.5- and 3.5-liter sedans dating back to 1935. Britain’s postwar “export or die” ethos spurred a concentrated effort to cultivate the crucial American market, and only six-cylinder models were officially sent to America. These early postwar cars, retrospectively known as the “Mark IV,” quickly gained a following. The elegant Three-Position Drophead Coupe variant remains a favorite. Of the 4,420 3.5-liter Mark IVs produced in total by Jaguar, only 560 were Drophead Coupes. Just 376 3.5-liter Mark IVs were built for export, rendering this very fine example rare indeed.

According to the car’s accompanying Heritage Certificate, this Jaguar was originally sold through the Hoffman, California Jaguar dealership in 1948. It was finished in black paintwork with beige leather and a sand three-position top. Prior to acquisition by the current owner in 2002, it was given a Body-off-frame restoration, with all mechanicals restored and overhauled, new wooden body framing installed, new Connolly leather upholstery fitted. The electrical wiring was also addressed.

In its current ownership, the car has been properly and regularly maintained and exercised and remains in virtual concours-quality condition. It represents English motoring elegance at its best, and with precious few ever produced, especially in the 3.5-liter form, it is truly a rare find.

1937 Rolls Royce P III Sedanca de Ville

Vin: 3CM61 Engine V-12 #R98L This magnificent Rolls was produced on Sept. 22, 1937 by Rolls Royce and Park Ward Body Works. It was one of only two built. The sister car (3CP192) was shown at the London Motor Show that year. Although very formal, yet quite sporty, the body design had a raked windscreen and flowing fenders with sculptured rear spats. It was accented with applied cane work matching the quilted bleached maple interior wood accents and cabinetry. When completed, the Rolls was sold to J.D. Clarke of London and retained until 1947. It stayed in London over the next 30 years with several owners. In 1978, the Rolls was sold to Tom Barrett of Scottsdale, Arizona and then acquired by the Blackhawk Museum for display. The Rolls has always been well maintained and the restoration done by Blackhawk is a testament to the quality of this great Sedanca de Ville. Truly ready to show or tour in style !!! Interesting trades always considered.
