I once owned a 1950 Mk V 4 door. Fun to drive. Expensive to keep up.

Richard,

As Mike has noted they are here in Sydney and shipping them to the USA would
not be cost effective.

They are 1949-1951 MKV Saloons which are kinda unique, they look like pre
WWII with large swoopy mud guards (fenders), a long bonnet
(hood), spats (I've been Downunder too long - can't remember what they're
called Upover), and a boot (trunk) with a built in tool
kit (they are Jags after all!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_Mark_V

I bought them when I was based here in the 1980's as I figger'd they'd
appreciate in value by the time I retired. Unfortunately the
cost to restore a saloon is just about what you can sell one for ($25-30
grand); UNLESS it is a Drop Head Coupe. There were only
about 400 or so built and they command six figures when restored. They are a
beautiful car.

I do a search on eBay now and then for them and both the saloons and drop
heads show up. I've noted that a drop head in restorable
condition usually sells for around $25 - 30 grand. So if you spend another
$25 grand on it you're way ahead.

Regards,
Rob M.

I think Robs Jags are down under.
