The Jag Mk10 was a really exotic car and huge too. There's one parked on the street near where I live - slowly rotting away sadly, but it's taken a few knocks from passing traffic just because it is so wide. I wonder how many people bought them and the couldn't fit them in the garage? Later on Jaguar re-badged this car as the 420G and brought out the 420 which is a hybrid between this and the S Type, in effect it has the same profile as the Mk10, but is a foot narrower. I own a 420 badged as a Daimler Sovereign and even cut down it is still a huge car. Curiously enough my Daimler started life the same colour as this model although it is silver now. Smooth as silk to drive, but incredibly noisy because of all the chrome round the doors.
I remember this when it was new. It had two suitcases in the back. One big one that opened and a slimmer one which did not. Sadly after my time my nephews got at it and snapped off the bonnet, now I don't think there's anything that can be done with it.
