This famous slogan was created in the 1950s and was meant to define the way Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons wanted the brand to be popularized. It was lauded as one of the five most inspirational automotive slogans of all time. The MK VII, a milestone in the history of Jaguar as a manufacturer. In the fall of 1950, it caused a sensation in the automotive world: luxury, spectacularly dressed and, at almost 170 km/h, the fastest sedan on the island and the continent. Jaguar had reached the top, the “SS” was forgotten. The MK VII did not necessarily feel sporty, but absolutely stately. Queen Mum” loved to be chauffeured in it. Despite all this, it was the fastest four-door sedan in Europe. In 1951, it was not yet thought to be capable of racing. But that was to change. The 3.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine had its origins in the 200 km/h fast XK 120 road sports car, which had also won at Le Mans. If you look at the side line of the body, you discover the roadster contours of the Jaguar sports car XK 120, which was introduced in 1948 and mentioned above. A modified MK VII won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1956 with drivers Ronny Adams and Frank Biggar.
