Default Longest Jaguar?

I was curious what the longest Jaguar made was. I love the long sleek look of the older style Jags and it made me wonder how long they stretched them in the past. Anyone have any idea?

I dont have specs, that would be too smart, even for me.

I believe the MK10 of the '60's was the longest/widest Jaguar production car. Mine is still an issue in car parks, they are simply toooo small, so I just abandon the thing, usually cribbing 4 standard spaces, no one complains, and i would not listen anyhow.

The later Daimler Insignia of the XJ40 range was a loooong beast, but soooo few, the specs are unknown to me.

Hi,
According to information available, the longest Jaguar ever made is the Jaguar super V8 circa 03-04 with a wheelbase of 124.4 inches, .2 inches longer than the new LWB XJ's.

I found this quite surprising as I too would have thought the 50's 0r 60's jags would have been longer.

MMMMM, I wasnt thinking wheellbase, I was just thinking sheer size, as in the total car, my bad I suppose.

Still reckon the MK10 is one BIG sucker, no matter what angle you look at it.
