1950 Jaguar MK V عربيات قديمه

by Hoffman Motor Car Co. on July 15, 1950. The car was purchased by the seller in 2011, and a subsequent refurbishment included a repaint in burgundy and black, the installation of a new tan soft top, and an interior retrim in biscuit leather. The matching-numbers 3.5L inline-six is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Now showing just over 50k miles, this MK V is being offered with records documenting the refurbishment process, bill of sale, and Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.

Previously finished in Gunmetal Grey, the car received a bare metal respray in its current two-tone burgundy and black color scheme during the refurbishment. A tan fabric soft top with rear window replaced the factory white top. The frame was powdercoated during the paint process. A photograph of the body before the repaint can be seen in the gallery below.

The car rides on independent front suspension with torsion bars and a rigid rear axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs. It is equipped with 4-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Black steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are shod with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires.

The biscuit leather interior is contrasted by a black steering wheel and dark burl wood trim on the dash, A-pillars, and door tops.

Smiths instrumentation includes a reverse sweep 5k-rpm tachometer along with a clock, fuel gauge, oil pressure and temperature gauge, ammeter, and 120-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer indicates 50k miles, with the seller adding around 7k miles since the project was completed. The gauges were refurbished in January 2015 by Nisonger Instruments in Mamaroneck, New York.

The matching-numbers 3,485cc OHV inline-six features dual sidedraft SU carburetors and produced 126 brake horsepower at 4,250 rpm when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox.

The engine stamp #T9967 corresponds with the number found on the factory data plate.

The data plate pictured above shows the serial numbers, recommended lubricants, and valve clearances. Receipts documenting the refurbishment process accompany the car, along with the trunk-mounted tool kit. A driving video can be seen below.
