We specialize in fine antiques and collectibles. Once in a while my customers turn in a classic automobile or motorcycle. This is one of those items: We received this Jaguar from the owner who bought the car new. The owner said that he put a low mileage 1964 XKE Jaguar engine in the car, and drove it for a month or two. Then the car was parked in 1984 in his barn until we picked it up last week. It needs a complete restoration as it has not been driven for 26 years. The car has a clear original title. Since I do not know anything about the Jaguar Mark X, I retrieved some information for those of you who have time to read it: In the mid-1960s, the Jaguar Mark X Saloon was priced at around $7,390 which was about $2,000 more than an E-Type or a well-equipped Cadillac. Still, it was about half the price of a Bentley S3. Production of the Mark X 3.8 lasted just three years with production reaching nearly 13,000 units. Fewer than a third of them were left-hand drive cars built for export. The Jaguar Mark X (pronounced mark ten) was the top-of-the-range saloon car built by the British manufacturer Jaguar, and was originally aimed at the United States market. The substantial doors required helical torsion springs inside the door pillars to enable them to be opened from the inside with an acceptably low level of effort. The Mark X was the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent rear suspension. It used a wider-track version of Jaguar's IRS unit first seen on the E Type, and was subsequently used on Jaguar vehicles until XJ-S production ended in 1996. Front suspension used double wishbones with coil springs and telescopic dampers. Initially Jaguar's XK in-line six cylinder engine was featured, with 3781 cc. A 9:1 compression ration was standard, but an alternative 8:1 compression ratio was available as an option[3]. For the London Motor Show in October 1964 the enlarged 4,235 cc unit took over, although the 3.8 litre unit could still be specified until October 1965[3]. Triple SU carburettors were fitted, fed from an AC Delco air filter mounted ahead of the right hand front wheel. Transmission options were manual, manual with overdrive or automatic. .
