my son send me this article and thought I would pass it on

1967 Jaguar Mark X/420G Classic Drive - Motor Trend Classic

 

A big car for the USA market, and surprisingly brisk in manual form, sad to admit I scrapped a couple after raiding for parts, but did enjoy owning a squadron blue 420G - sold it to a real enthusiast of the model so hopefully still around.

Another very nice saloon from around the same period was the more compact Daimler Sovereign 420, effectively a fancier S type, then another world beater in the form of the XJ series. I can't think of another car apart from Porsche 911 that has a brand identity lineage as distinct or long lived.

And to think, they where borne out of the necessity of golf club bags fitting in trunks for the USA market!

 

Just saw this and realized typed I X3008 instead of X308. Must have had a senior moment

 

I've got your back, daverb.

Cheers,

Don
