90 superb original colour photographs Brief background history of the company Full story of the Mkll Basic specification and statistics Quotes, and interesting facts and feats Jaguar's small saloon car was introduced in 1955 to complement the company's successful sports cars and luxury saloons; it was the marque's first monocoque-bodied production car. The Mkll was launched four years later, at which time the first car became known retrospectively as the 'Mkl'. The Mkll 3.8 was one of the fastest production cars of its time, making it a favourite on the race track as well as on the roads. The cars were all finished to a high standard of luxury in wood and leather. This quintessentially British car was also popular elsewhere in the world, especially in the US.
