The Jaguar Mark IV (pronounced mark four) is a range of cars built by Jaguar Cars. They were marketed as the Jaguar 1½ litre, Jaguar 2½ litre and Jaguar 3½ litre with the Mark IV name later applied to separate this model from the next Mark V line-up. The range was a return to the production of the 1½ litre, 2½ litre and 3½ litre SS Jaguar models produced by SS Cars from 1935 to 1940.
Before the Second World War, the Jaguar model name was given to all the cars built by SS Cars Ltd, with the saloon cars titled the SS Jaguar 1½ litre, 2½ litre or 3½ litre, while the 2-seater sports cars were called the SS Jaguar 100 2½ litre or 3½ litres. In March 1945, the company name SS Cars Ltd was changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd.
All Mark IVs were built with a separate chassis frame with semi-elliptical spring suspension on front and rear rigid axles.
