Encyclopedia : J : JA : JAG : Jaguar Mark X



 

The Jaguar Mark X was the largest Jaguar saloon car built by that company, originally aimed at the American market. It long held the record for being the widest production saloon car ever built. It succeeded the Jaguar Mark IX as the company's large saloon model.

The suspension was independent all round with coil springs at the front. Two engine sizes were offered with 3781 cc until 1964 when the larger 4235 cc unit took over. Manual, manual with overdrive and automatic transmissions were options but most cars left the factory with the auto box.

It was launched in 1961. In 1966, it was renamed the 420G. It was discontinued in 1970 as Jaguar XJ6 production increased.

A related model was the Daimler Limousine, which was based on the Mark X. This car was built until 1992 and was used by many countries in an official capacities, and frequently by funeral homes; either with a saloon body for carrying mourners or a hearse body.
