Launched at the London Motor Show in October 1961, the MK X's wider track, lower roofline, quadruple headlamps and squat, vaned radiator grille heralded a new image for the marque. It was the first Jaguar Saloon to feature independent rear suspension, while the front had the proven set-up of double wishbones and coil springs. At launch it was powered by a 3.8-litre version of the company's ubiquitous straight-six, DOHC XK engine. However, upgrades for 1964 included: an increase in capacity of the standard engine to 4.2-litres and a new all-synchromesh, four-speed manual gearbox. Braking was by discs all-round and power-assisted steering was standard. By the time of the 1966 London Motorshow, the range had been renamed 420G, some 5,763 of which were built before the model was superseded by the XJ6.

According to the accompanying heritage certificate this home market example was supplied new by Henly's, London, on 13th November 1963. Finished in it's original colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Blue over Dark Blue leather, it spent a period of time in the car-friendly climate of South Africa before being re-patriated to the United Kingdom in 2019 by the vendor. After being brought back to the UK, close to £5,000 was spent to get the car running and driving and the vendor enjoyed this for a short period before placing it in storage. Now offered to sale as a rewarding project for a new owner with a history file including assorted invoices, service manual and current V5C issued in 2019. To be sold without reserve.
