It looks as though it had a manual four speed box with the option of overdrive. A three speed automatic was also available. That's from German wiki, but it's also consistent with what I'd thought and I can source it from an outside reference book (eg Alle Autos der 50er jahre von Roger Gloor published by Motorbuch Verlag of Stuttgart). However, I would GUESS that in the US the Mk IX would have been offered with the three speed automatic as standard, POSSIBLY with the four speed manul as a no-cost option: that's what the market would have xpected, and Jaguar were very focused on export markets - expecially the US - at this time. I guess if you are in the US you can check this to contemporary copies of Car & Driver or equivalent more easily than I....? So which was the standard transmission option probably depends on where you live(d). Regards

The following passage was excised due to its evident spurious nature:

Jaguar MK IX Estate.
The MK IX Estate has existed for quite a while and there's a few images online including a banger edition of it.
From an old archive (apparently 10 were made but 7 burnt in the factory fire that Jaguar had and 1 got turned into a banger, 1 is in a museum and 1 got lost in the 1970s.) <-- Needs Confirming. Searching "Jaguar MK9 Estate" will show one being auctioned and one being a banger racer. Could do with a look around for any information on it.
