The Jaguar Mark IV

The Jaguar Mark IV, pronounced mark four, was a saloon (sedan) car built by Jaguar from 1945 to 1949.
It was a relaunch of a pre World War II model made by SS Cars Ltd from 1936.

Before World War 2 the name Jaguar was the model name given to the complete range of cars built by SS Cars Ltd. The saloons were titled SS Jaguar 1� litre, 2� litre or 3� litre. The two seater sports car was titled the SS Jaguar 100 2� litre or 3� litre.

After the war the company name was changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd. While the post war saloons were officially the Jaguar 1� litre, 2� litre and the 3� Litre, the term 'Mark IV' was applied by the trade simply to seperate them from the officially named Mark V.
