Jaguar Mk VII

This image just in from photographer Alison Langley. My guess is: a 1956 Jaguar Mk VII. But I'm not very up on big English saloons of the 1950s. I know that a big Jag was one way to go if you wanted walnut-and-English-leather ambience without paying for Rolls or Bentley. Never could quite figure where Daimlers fit into the English car class-system. Saw the Queen riding in one, once.

    I also believe that this one is a Jaguar Mk VII because it has the trademark fender skirt at the rear tire. That car actually won in the Monte Carlo rally in '56 and is frequently used in saloon car racing in Britain.
