Jaguar x (MK10)
A cold but sunny Sunday morning sleep deprived but awake enough to pack the kit up and head out. So having this pinned for a number of months now (one of those you just forget about). Think it was the sun blazing that made me think of this place so coffee brewed text sent to meet KK I began to think about about what I wanted from this outing. Remembering when I first came across this beauty it was dark and I thought "can't be bothered". Anyway I got on site and I attached the 50mm and began shooting each shot seemed to just flow without any thought. Sadly the car was full of boot prints front badge stolen,it was clear this has been stood for a number of years but still beautiful though. Below is some history taken from wiki.
The Jaguar Mark X (Mark ten), later renamed the Jaguar 420G, was British manufacturer Jaguar's top-of-the-range saloon car for a decade, from 1961 to 1970. The large, luxurious Mark X succeeded the Mark IX as the company's top saloon model, and was primarily aimed at the United States market. The company hoped to appeal to heads of state, diplomats and film stars.
Introduced in the same year as Jaguar's iconic E-Type, the Mark X impressed with its technical specification and innovations. Contrary to its predecessors, the car featured integrated, unitary bodywork – the largest in the UK at the time, as well as independent rear suspension, unheard for early 1960s British luxury cars.[3] Combined with the 3.8-litre, triple carburettor engine as fitted to the E-type, it gave Jaguar's flagship a top speed of 120 mph (193 km/h) and capable handling at less than half the price of the contemporary Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.
Despite press acclaim from both sides of the Atlantic, the Mark X never achieved its sales targets. When Jaguar decided to replace its entire saloon range with a single new model, the resulting XJ6 of 1968 used the Mark X as a template – albeit with a reduced size.
