                                                                                                  1:43 SCALE

The Jaguar Mark VII was a large four door sports sedan launched by Jaguar Cars of Coventry at the 1950 London Motor Show. The chassis came from the Jaguar Mark V with which the Mark VII shared its 10 feet (3,048.0 mm) wheelbase. But for this latest offering Jaguar designed a modern and streamlined looking body, featuring fully integrated headlights and mudguards along with an increased rear overhang which gave the car enhanced presence. As on the Mark V, the upper part of the rear wheel was covered by the body work. In place of its predecessor's flat windscreen, the Mark VII design included a two piece front screen, which would late become one when the MKVIII was launched. It had of just over 100 mph (163 km/h) and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 13.7 seconds - 17.5 miles to the gallon and all of for just under £1700.
