The pre-war SS Jaguar 1½, 2½ and 3½ Litre models continued in production after the war but there were minor differences such as a narrower chrome strip along the side and the cars were simply titled Jaguar 1½, 2½ or 3½ Litre saloon. The Jaguar Mk V appeared in 1948/49 and so the previous post-war cars were retrospectively called Mk IV. So you have SS Jaguars before the war and Jaguar Mk IVs and Jaguar Mk Vs after the war. This car strictly speaking is not a Mk IV. It is an SS Jaguar 3½ Litre. Peter
