The Jaguar Mark IV
was a saloon 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 1½ litre, 2½ litre or 3½ litre.
The two seater sports car was titled the SS Jaguar 100 2½ litre or 3½ litre.
After the war the company name was changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd.
Whilst the post war saloons were officially the Jaguar 1½ litre, 2½ litre etc the term 'Mark IV' was applied by the trade simply to differentiate them from the officially named Mark V.
The smallest model of the range originally featured a 1608 cc side valve Standard engine but from 1938 this was replaced by a 1776 cc overhead valve unit also from Standard.
Pre war the car was available as a saloon or drophead coupéski but post war only the closed model was made.
Up to 1938 body construction on all the models was by the traditional steel on wood method but in that year it changed to all steel.
Performance was not a strong point but 70 mph (110 km/h) was possible and the car featured the same well appointed interior as its larger brothers.
Again the engine was sourced from Standard but had the cylinder head reworked by SS.
Unlike the 1½ Litre there were some drophead models made post war.
The chassis was originally of 119 inch (3023 mm) but grew by an inch (25 mm) in 1938 to 120 inches (3,000 mm).
Die rückblickend Mark IV genannte erste Jaguar-Limousine erschien im Herbst 1935 als S.S. Jaguar 1 ½ Litre und S.S. Jaguar 2 ½ Litre.
Hersteller war die S.S. Cars Ltd in Coventry, die erst seit 1945 unter dem Namen Jaguar firmiert.
Beide Fahrzeuge waren viertürige Limousinen, die Nachfolger des S.S. 2 und des S.S. 1.
Der 1 ½ Litre besaß einen Vierzylinder-Reihenmotor mit 1608 cm³ Hubraum und 40 bhp, im Modelljahr 1937 52 bhp, der von der Standard Motor Company zusammen mit dem komplett montierten Fahrwerk zugeliefert und auch im Standard 14 HP eingesetzt wurde.
Der 2 ½ Litre hatte einen Sechszylinder-Reihenmotor mit 2663 cm³ Hubraum und 102 bhp (75 kW), den ebenfalls die Standard Motor Company samt Chassis lieferte.
Über ein Vierganggetriebe mit Mittelschaltung wurden die Hinterräder angetrieben.
Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit betrug 120 bzw. 140 km/h.
Im Herbst 1937 wurde die Karosseriekonstruktion auf Ganzstahl umgestellt, sodass der Eschenholzrahmen unter dem Aufbau entfiel.
Alle Motorvarianten waren fortan auch in zweitürigen Cabriolets erhältlich
