In the twenty years between 1950 and 1970, Jaguar produced no fewer than six different big saloon models, all of them powered by the legendary XK twin-cam six-cylinder engine. The first design covered the 1950s and began wwith the Mk VII, a Mk VIII in 1956 and then a Mk IX in 1958.
The second design covered the 1960s, beginning with the Mk X in 1961, which in turn became a 420G in 1966. Running parallel with these big saloons after 1955 were the smaller sports saloons, the Mk I, Mk 2, S type and 420 models.
The story of these cars is traced through 51 articles which include model introductions, driving impressions, road, comparison and long term tests plus performance data. With 160 well illustrated pages.
