Jaguar Mk X / 420G
What is your favourite car of all time?
The first of a new generation of Jaguar saloons, the Mk 10 was technically more advanced than anything before it. Introduced in October 1961, it featured Jaguar's new independent rear suspension, which gave a comfortable ride with excellent handling. The MkX used the familiar 3.8 litre XK engine in its most powerful 265bhp form and performance was impressive, especially considering the car's unladen weight was around 2 tons. Testing a manual car with overdrive in 1964, Motor magazine recorded a top speed of 120mph and 0-60mph in 10.8 seconds. From October 1966 the Mark X became the 420G (G for Grand). Hardly any different from the Mark X, it had a slightly face-lifted exterior with a chrome strip along its sides and a new grille to match the 420.
