Hello, all:

A brief how-do-you-do, having just joined the forum. I selected my user name in regard to the only Jag I am related to: a 1949-1/2 Mark V Saloon that was for several years our family car back when I was a kid. My dad purchased it used in the early 60s and sold it about 15 years later after it had been off the road for some time. He wasn't able to afford to keep it up nor have it restored, which I know was difficult for him. I was away at college when it last left our driveway, and my mom later said that she and my dad were quite sad that day. I imagine. Such an evocative, soulful automobile.

I'd love to know what became of it, unless of course it was neglected beyond hope, or even junked. Such is life, but I'd prefer to imagine it lived on to bring pleasure to another family and future memories to some little boy.

 

Welcome to the forum Mk V Memories,

There won't be many MK V's still around but if you have further details such as chassis number, engine number or registration, post in https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/mark-v-x-420g-58/ section and just maybe one of our members with this model will know something of your dad's car.

I see you've got an XJS in your profile. Follow this link XJS - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XJS section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the US North East Region section by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...t-nj-ny-pa-35/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forum.

I do have the ID number somewhere, and will check back once I find it.Well, that's interesting for two reasons: 1) I cannot remember posting any info in my profile at all; and 2) My father-in-law is considering putting one of his cars on the market...an XJS!

In any event, thank you, and others in this thread, for the welcome.
