Jaguar Mk5 5th Monte Carlo 1953 #339 Vard/Jolley/Bigger by Matrix
Today we think of rallying as flat out blasts through the countryside but in the 1950s the events were very much feats of endurance, timing accuracy and reliability. This Jaguar MkV completed the Monte Carlo rally several times in the hands of Dublin furrier Cecil Vard and in 1953 was classified fifth overall. Matrix's model is smartly finished with excellent paintwork, neatly applied fine details and matches event photos well.

About Matrix
From the original creators of the Neo range, this resincast series offers a wide range of mostly road car subjects. Some are very familiar classics but we also see plenty of very rare and usual machines ranging from Maharajah's Rolls Royces to Citroen and Volvo limousines! Overall casting quality is excellent, paint finishes usually to a very high standard and plenty of fine etch used for small trim. Wire wheels on some subjects can be a little unconvincing but otherwise very consistent. Made in China.
