The Jaguar MK VII, also known as the Mark 7, is a luxurious saloon car that marked a significant shift in Jaguar's design philosophy. Launched in 1955, it replaced the MK V and introduced a more modern, sleeker aesthetic. The MK VII's design, penned by William Lyons, was a departure from the previous model's boxy form, embracing a more aerodynamic and flowing silhouette. The distinctive grille, with its vertical bars, became a hallmark of the era's Jaguars, while the wider body and longer wheelbase offered increased interior space and a more comfortable ride. Beneath the skin, the MK VII continued to feature the sturdy, reliable 3.4-liter inline-six engine, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission, though automatic options became available later in its run.

The MK VII's luxurious appointments and performance made it a popular choice among discerning drivers. Its interior was finished with high-quality leather upholstery and wood trim, creating an air of opulence. The car's suspension offered a smooth and compliant ride, while the engine provided ample power for spirited driving. Although the MK VII was initially criticized for its relatively low power output, this was addressed in 1957 with the introduction of the more potent 3.8-liter engine, dubbed the '2.4' due to its power-to-weight ratio. Despite its performance and luxury, the MK VII's popularity began to wane with the introduction of the revolutionary XK150 in 1957, which offered a more sporting and modern design. Despite its relatively short production run, the MK VII remained a significant model in Jaguar's history, its refined design and comfortable performance cementing its legacy as a classic British saloon.
