10k: Jag-in-the-Box: 1953 Jaguar Mark VII

The Jaguar Mark VII was a large luxury saloon introduced in 1951 as a replacement to the outgoing Jaguar Mk V.  The unlucky number VI was skipped due to bad connotations with King Henry the VI (went insane at the age of 31), Rocky VI (did we really need another Rocky after Rocky V???) and Star Trek VI (aka Star Trek: Cocoon).  The Mark VII was produced through 1956 when it was replaced by the Mark VIII, and is a stately vehicle from another time.  Find this 1953 Jaguar Mark VII offered for $10,000 here on craigslist located in SF Bay Area, CA.  Tip from Kaibeezy.
