420g
Just wondering, does ANYONE on this forum have a Mark Ten or 420G?
If so what condition?
Do you drive it often?
What have been your issues or concerns with this car?
I have lusted after a MK 10 for a few years now and finally got one, a 1962 version.
even though it is NOT a V12, oh well it sure could use one though.
I wanted a right hand drive car but this one was such a DEAL!!
So? Speak to me forum people!

Owned both Mk 10 & 420G
Hello HSB
I owned a late model Mk 10 4,2lt MOD and had many years of fun with the car. It had the better braking system than the older bellows on the 3,8lt models.
Power was good and the road holding and comfort was exceptional. I swopped mine for an XJ-S for no reason.
Last year I got a 420G because I had such fun with mine previously. Put a picture of yours in your garage for all of us to see.

Hello HSB,
We are still driving and enjoying the Silver MK 10.
No restoration is planned for some time yet. We took it on a 350 Kilometre drive on Sunday (May 5) it followed the 1949 Daimler without even the slightest complaint from either car.
I tell you though, driving the Daimler and looking in the rear view at that MK 10 had me falling in love with it all over again. Seeing it in full side view as we waited for the Jag to turn a corner behind us was an incredible sight.
Local newspaper columnist with photographer were driving the MK 10 doing a story on the local Jaguar club here.
So, where can we see pics of your 420G?
Love to see it.
