Jaguar presented the large Mk. VII with its powerful lines and interior in leather and noble wood to suit British tastes in 1950. The twin cam engine of the XK 120 was the crowning glory. Immediately recognisable due to the single-piece windscreen and broader radiator grille, the passengers are extended even greater luxury. With added power, the car was one of the quickest of its age. Just over 6,200 of them were built before it was replaced by its successor model after two years.

VIII was registered for the first time in England on 1 May 1957. It was imported to Austria in 1994, where it enriched the consignor’s collection.
