I think the small rear quarter-lights in question were first seen on the Mk II. Seen from the side, it is indeed the absence of those memorable rear quarter lights that is the main difference between the Mk I treated here and the Mk II. The rear quarter lights of the Mk I are merely the necessary quarterlights to permit the main window to wind down all the way - much as you might find on a Rover or Humber or Sunbeam Talbot from the 50s. The overall PROFILE of the MK I is "very Jaguar": but the rear quarter lights?
We don't have a wiki image of the Mk I from the side, but I think the rear three quarters shot - of the same Starnberg registered car whose front end currently adorns the entry - also makes the point. Or do others see matters differently? I guess it might be construed a matter of opinion....
I've also put here a little picture of the MK II from a similar angle which maybe helps the comparison...

From old family photos and the like I mostly know this car as used by police. Thing is, the history doesn't mention this part of it's history — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.181.62.220 ( talk) 15:58, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
