The Jaguar Mark VIII was a luxury four-door car introduced by Jaguar of Coventry at the 1956 London Motor Show as the successor to the Mark VII M. It shared its ten foot wheelbase with that car but added a new curved one-piece windscreen, a revised grille, a curved chrome waistline strip that allowed two-tone paint, and rear spats cut back to show more of the wheel. Under the bonnet was the 3442 cc straight-six engine it shared with the XK140, fitted with the B-type head that offered 190 bhp, with a claimed top speed above 106 mph, and options of overdrive or a Borg Warner automatic gearbox. After a two-year run of 6,227 cars it was replaced by the Mark IX in late 1958.
