INTERNATIONAL Mk VII/VIIM/VIII/IX REGISTER
INTERNATIONAL Mk VII/VIIM/VIII/IX REGISTER: STATUS UPDATE
The International Mk VII/VIIM/VIII/IX Register is jointly sponsored by the
JAGUAR DRIVERS' CLUB LTD of England and the CLASSIC JAGUAR ASSOCIATION, based
in America. Our joint efforts to find these big saloons have moved along because
of the Internet!
As of 12 May, 2004, our latest audit, we have: 1,053 cars

The Register has two main purposes:
- (1) To determine just how many of these magnificent luxury/racing saloons
still exist;
- (2) To create a worldwide network for lovers of these Jaguars.
To accomplish these purposes, we need information from you (by the way, registration
of your car(s) costs nothing!).
If you own or know of any of these cars, send the following information to
any of our Registrars.
Owner's name, address, phone, Email if there.
Condition: original, restored, excellent, good, fair, poor.
Numbers from commission (data) plate, on scuttle (firewall) behind engine
-- chassis, engine, body, gearbox. The chassis # is most important because we're
listing the cars chronologically by chassis #, as Jaguar did when they were
built.
Colours, exterior & interior (note: all VIIs and VIIMs were single-tone;
most VIIIs and IXs were two-tone)
Tools in doors -- all there? some missing? all missing?
Any additional information on car(s) - history, modifications, etc.
Regarding the Internet: As of now, we havemore than 178
people who've registered electronically. We've created a method of reaching
them all at once, and we're using it very successfully in many countries to
help purpose (2), building the worldwide network. If you contact us electronically,
your address will be added to this list.
We appreciate your help in trying to document these marvelous old Jaguar
saloons!
