Jaguar Mark VIII

The Jaguar Mark VIII was a large four door sports sedan introduced by the Jaguar company of Coventry at the 1956 London Motor Show. The car shared its 10 feet (3,048.0 mm) wheelbase with its predecessor, the Jaguar Mark VII which outwardly it closely resembled. However, the interior fittings were more luxurious than those of the Mark VII. Distinguishing visually between the models is facilitated by changes to the front grill. In addition, whereas the Mark VII had incorporated a two piece front windscreen, the new car featured a one piece slightly curved screen.
