1948 Jaguar MK IV

1948 Jaguar MK IV 3.5-Liter Drophead Coupe

Chassis DH1044

Originally designed in 1934 and produced through 1948, the Jaguar MK IV represents a perfect blend of style, performance, and value. It was offered in three engine sizes—1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 liters—and available as either a sedan or a drophead coupe. Manufactured by SS Cars Limited of Coventry, England, the company rebranded as Jaguar Cars following World War II, marking a new chapter in British automotive history.

With the elegance and performance of a Bentley, Jaguars were known for providing a better value, which made them highly desirable. This particular MK IV, featuring the 3.5-liter engine, is the Price family’s preferred choice for their wine country outings, where its classic design and refined ride make it the perfect companion for leisurely drives.

This vehicle was graciously donated to the Price Automotive Museum by Tom Price on December 31, 2024.
