Weasel1984 ◊ 2006-08-24 21:43	Mk.I?
bref ◊ 2006-08-24 21:56	mkII. SFPI gives a credible 1961 reg
Raul1983 ◊ 2006-08-24 22:17	I have this episode on VHS. Poor Jaguar
DAF555 ◊ 2006-08-24 22:19	Yep, it gets really battered
Sunbar ◊ 2006-08-24 23:02	bref wrote mkII. SFPI gives a credible 1961 reg Could this be a false reg number? This is definitely a Mk.I in my opinion with the smaller side and rear windows, however the rear-wheel suuround is open from the Mk.II, not with the spats covering the wheels suggesting they have been changed. The doors in the movie car have a full pressed-steel construction including the glass frame as the Mk.I. In contrast, the Mk.II had welded-on window frames making the glass area much larger. For me this is Mk.I. -- Last edit: 2006-08-24 23:15:27

pilou ◊ 2006-09-01 16:18	This is indeed a Jaguar Mk I and it is a 3.4 litre car : the 2.4 litre MK I had rear wheel shields ( spats ) covering the whole of the rear wheel.The 3.4 litre Jag Mk I had open rear wheel surrounding with half wheel shields as on this one .It is thus not a later modification.This is also the easiest way to immediately distinguish the 2.4 litre from the 3.4 litre car in the Mk I series.
Sunbar ◊ 2006-09-01 16:55	Thanks pilou, thats information I hadn't realised or found on the internet..... A small detail but it makes identification easy
marsh ◊ 2007-01-07 01:01	The open spat is not exclusive to the 3.4 litre Mk1 - all later (post 1958) series MK1's had these, in addition to the wider grille aperture. Earlier 2.4's had open spats if they had the optional disk brakes fitted and don't forget these panels are easily changed and are also interchangable with the later Mk 2 spats which can be whipped off in about 30 seconds or so. However, I do agree with Pilou that this one is a 3.4 because if you look very closely on the boot, there's a badge denoting the engine size just under the Jaguar script and this feature is exclusive to 3.4's as the smaller engined variant does not have its engine size advertised for obvious reasons. I have an original Mk 1 that's every bit as fast as a Mk2 although it does require a bit of respect on corners... -- Last edit: 2007-01-17 22:33:50
