The Jaguar Mark X (10) replaced the Mark IX and was a evolution in the Jaguar sports / luxury brand. The car was low, sleek, stylish, comfortable and incorporated some of the most advanced features such as use of the monococque as opposed to the Mk IX's separate chassis arrangement. The car was initially offered with the enormously popular and respected 3.8 Litre straight 6, the very same engine which had powered some of Jaguars competition cars to success in the Le Mans Races. The most noticeable feature of this car was it's gargantuan proportions, it was designed to appeal to the American market and the US drivers preferred the larger car. This Jaguar still holds the record for being the widest ever production car produced in the UK.
