Classic Jaguars For Sale

The first impression you get of this car is that it is huge. It is bursting out of its own skin with these bulging sides, making it over six feet in width. It is nearly seventeen feet long, more than a foot longer than a Volvo V70 Estate. Although it is a full four feet six inches high, it still looks low. The first of its line, the Jaguar Mark X, was launched in 1961, the same year as the famous E-type, and the 420G designation was attached in 1967, though it continued to be called the "Mark Ten" by the general public, and 420Gs were manufactured into 1970. Nerds can distinguish the 420G from the earlier Mark X by the heavier central vertical in the radiator grille, a different hub cap design, and direction indicator repeaters on the sides. There was also a Jaguar 420 (no G), but that was a descendant of another series of sportier Jaguar saloons. The Mark X / 420G was considered to be a luxury saloon, rather than a sports saloon, though under the skin it's a huge sports car.

The prestige conferred by owning a Mark Ten in its day was extremely high. It was nearly as sexy as a Ferrari of its day at half the price, or less, and infinitely more respectable, reliable and British. Yet it came from the same stable as the exciting E-type, with which it shared its rear suspension design, which was also used on the XJ6, the luxury saloon which replaced the 420G.

Perhaps it may be indelicate to discuss the engine of this luxury saloon. But open the bonnet (hood) and there's a lot of hardware inside there. The 420 in the title refers to Jaguar's 4.2litre straight six, twin ohc engine. Three huge SU carburettors feed the six cylinders. 265bhp, in theory (some authorities place the power somewhat lower), and, despite its weight of more than 1800kg, its 0-60 mph time was around 10 seconds, which still feels pretty nippy, especially in a big car.
Of the 25000 Mark Xs and 420Gs built, about a quarter were 420Gs. You don't see many around these days. In common with nearly all cars of the sixties, they suffered from terminal rust, and many mechanically viable machines expired when their superstructures collapsed. Yet there are a few still around, like this one, a majestic car, with a hand-built appearance, which it is hard to believe was mass-produced.

In 1957 Jaguar launched its final version of the successful and glamorous XK range, the XK150. The last of the XK range could be easily identified by its more bulbous appearance and a less pronounced wing line. Modern styling touches included a revised front grille, full width deeper bumpers appeared as well as a deeper one piece windscreen.

Mechanical changes included optional disc brakes, which came complete with servo assistance. The brakes had always been criticised on earlier XK models and so the new option was fitted to virtually all XK150 versions. Engine power had now increased to 210bhp on the 3.4 litre "SE" (Special Equipment) XK150, the standard car made do with 190bhp.

As before with earlier models, the Drophead Coupe version of the XK150 sat at the top of the range and commanded a price of ? 1,969 7s for the SE version. The Drophead Coupe came with all of the usual refinements including a fully lined convertible hood / Top.

The last variant of the new Jaguar sportscar range, the XK120 Drophead Coupe, arrived in 1953. The original XK120 Roadster had captured the imagination of the press and public in 1948, 5 years before the more practical Drophead Coupe became available. This elegant car offered a snug, well trimmed and equipped cockpit that did away with the draughty side-screens of the Roadster version.

The XK120 Drophead Coupe featured the same well designed mechanicals as its Fixed Head Coupe and Roadster sisters, including the excellent six cylinder XK engine, which in later versions of the XK120 could develop 180bhp. In 1954 the XK120 range was superseded by the heavier looking XK140

The S Type is a slightly bigger and plusher cousin of the Mk2s in our fleet and therefore provides a bit more legroom. In common with our other Jaguars this 1964 car, with its 3.8 litre engine, is finished in Old English White and has traditional deep cherry red leather upholstery.

The S Type is adorned with even more walnut fittings than her Mk2 cousins and characterises 60's luxury and elegance. A perfect wedding car.
