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.

  • 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. The Mark VIII inherited from its predecessor the 3442 cc straight six engine which it shared with the Jaguar XK150 that appeared the same year. In the Mark VIII, supported by twin SU carburetors, and employing a manual four speed transmission, advertised engine output was now increased to 210 bhp (156.6 kW): the claimed top speed in excess of 106 mph (170 km/h) was considered impressive, given the car's bulk. Transmission options included overdrive or a Borg Warner three speed automatic box. After a two year production run the Mark VIII was replaced by the Jaguar Mark IX: 6,227 Mark VIIIs had by then been produced.
  • Der Jaguar Mark VIII war eine viertürige Limousine der Oberklasse, die Jaguar im Oktober 1956 als Nachfolger des Jaguar Mark VII M auf den Markt brachte. Der Jaguar Mark VIII besaß den Sechszylinder-Reihenmotor seines Vorgängers mit 3442 cm³ Hubraum, aber 210 bhp (154 kW). Über ein Viergang-Getriebe mit Mittelschaltung trieb dieser die Hinterräder an. Er verhalf der Limousine zu einer Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 180 km/h. Auf Wunsch waren ein Overdrive oder ein Dreigang-Automatikgetriebe von BorgWarner erhältlich. Fahrgestell und Karosserie wurden vom Vorgänger übernommen, lediglich mit einigen Änderungen versehen: Der Kühlergrill wurde mit einer breiten Chromumrandung versehen, die nun leicht gebogene Windschutzscheibe verzichtete auf einen Mittelsteg, und die Innenausstattung war noch luxuriöser. Bis 1958 wurden 6227 Exemplare hergestellt. 1958 löste der Jaguar Mark IX dieses Modell ab.
