During World War II, the company dealt with the production of motorcycle trailers for the army. After the war, due to the combination of the names of the German branch of the SS company name was changed to Jaguar Cars Ltd. The first vehicle under the Jaguar brand was presented at the London Motor Show in 1948. It was the XK120 model . Two years later, the Mark VII limousine was presented at the same motor show. The manufacturer of sports cars and limousines lacked in its offer a car offered at an affordable price. That is why in 1955 the Mark I model was presentedand then in 1959 Mark II.
