Recent Changes
This model was rebadged as the Jaguar 420G in the late 60's and continued in production alongside the Mark 2, S-Type, E-Type and was phased out once the XJ6 became established. As the 420G it had the 4.2 Litre straight 6 engine only. Externally, the 420G could be told apart from the Mk 10 by a chromed sidestrip and a vertical strip at the centre of the grille, the top of the dashboard had a padded roll with an integrated clock.
Styles and Major Options
The Mk 10 was available with the 3.8 Litre engine initially. A 3-speed automatic gearbox was offered, (and mainly chosen), although some customers opted for the 4-speed manual box with overdrive. The 4.2 Litre straight-6 became available and shortly after the car was re-badged as the Jaguar 420G, (the 'G' reputedly standing for Grand and helping to differentiate this model from the Jaguar 420). Some Limousine versions were produced with division to the passenger compartment and cocktail cabinets / tv available. There were some specialist conversions which included stretched limousines and 2-door convertibles. The standard car was supplied well trimmed with leather and walnut as you would expect of a car of this marque at this time, the seating arrangement was extremely capacious and comfortable, there were walnut faced picnic tables for the rear passengers. Extras when purchasing would have included, seatbelts, electric windows, folding sunroof, stereo system, etc.

Gas Mileage
The car was designed in an era when fuel economy was no more than a perfunctory consideration. The designer worried more about range, if the car was not good on fuel you just increased the size of the fuel tank! The best you would hope for would be approximately 25mpg on a run. Driving the car hard at above motorway speeds the fuel consumption would easily fall into single figures, perhaps only 7 or 8mpg
