MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this handsome 1964
Jaguar Mark X Saloon. Made on March 16, 1964 at Jaguar's Coventry,
England factory, . It was dispatched on April 7, 1964 via Jaguar
Cars in New York, NY. With the most recent owner being Richard
Parkoff of the Parkoff Organization, a massively successful New
York City real estate firm. In 2008 the Parkoff Organizaion making
headlines with New York City's largest ever all-cash deal in real
estate. Since then the organization has made multiple other
multimillion dollar deals in and around New York City. Making the
Parkoff Organization one of the premier real estate firms in New
York City. With money being no object, about 10 years ago, the car
was repainted and reupholstered - the exterior is finished in a
stunning black exterior while the interior is finished in rich red
leather that absolutely smells wonderful. The paint and trim are in
excellent overall condition. The windows are clear and intact while
the car's lights are haze-free and intact. The car's bodywork is
straight and solid including the chrome bumpers. The area under the
bonnet (hood) is extremely tidy, the battery appears new while the
boot (trunk) is in very good overall condition, complete with
full-sized spare tire and cover. This classic cat rolls on Coker
Classic redline tires, size P195/70R14 at all four corners and each
tire is mounted on a steel wheel topped with factory wheel cover.
The tires and wheel covers are all in very good order. Under the
hood is Jaguar's venerable 3.8L straight six motor breathing via
triple SU carburetors and dual exhausts and backed by a Borg-Warner
DG250 three-speed automatic transmission and a 3.54:1 rear end.
Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes and power windows. Inside,
the car's red leather interior is quite eye-catching and
complements the exterior well. The supple leather is very inviting
and the burled walnut accents on the door panels, instrument panel
and center console inject warmth. The front and rear seats are in
excellent shape, as is the matching carpet. The factory two-spoke
steering wheel is present and looks great. The dashboard and inner
door liners are in nearly impeccable condition. Even the center
console looks fantastic. The interior was Jaguar's last to feature
abundant standard woodwork, including the dashboard, escutcheons,
window trim, a pair of large bookmatched fold out rear picnic
tables, and a front seat pull-out picnic table stowed beneath the
instrument cluster. TheJaguar MarkX(Mark Ten) was British
manufacturerJaguar's top-of-the-rangesaloon for a decade, from 1961
to 1970. The large, luxurious MarkX succeeded theMarkIXas 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
iconicE-Type, the MarkX 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 asindependent rear suspension, unheard for early 1960s British
luxury cars.Combined with the 3.8-litre, triple carburetor engine
as fitted to the E-type, it gave Jaguar's flagship a top speed of
120mph and capable handling at less than half the price of the
contemporaryRolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Despite press acclaim from
both sides of the Atlantic, the MarkX never achieved its sales
targets. When Jaguar decided to replace its entire saloon range
with a single new model, the resultingXJ6 of 1968used the MarkX as
a template - albeit with a reduced size. In 1961, the MarkX
introduced a new upright, and slightly forward-leaning nose design
for Jaguar saloons, with four headlamps set into rounded front
fenders (derived fromDaimler DK400), and a vaned grill. This
front-end style reappeared on many of the manufacturer's successive
saloons, up to and including theX-Typeand third generationJaguar
XJ,boththrough 2009 � thereby forging Jaguar saloons' look for half
of a century. In 2008,Jalopnikcalled the quad round headlight
design the classiest headlight configuration and the fourth-best
car design element of all time, mentioning Jaguar specifically.
Instead of relying onbody-on-frameconstruction, like its
predecessors and most of its competitors, the MarkX received a
unitary constructionmonocoquebody-shell, codenamed "Zenith" during
its development. The substantial doors required helicaltorsion
springsinside the door pillars to enable them to be opened from the
inside with a low level of effort. From its introduction in
mid-October 1961until the arrival in 1992 of the low-slungXJ220,
the MarkX stood as one of the widest production Jaguars ever built.
Asked in 1972 if he thought the MarkX had grown too large, Jaguar
chairmanWilliam Lyons agreed that it "definitely" had: he opined
that the then recently introduced and notably more compactJaguar
XJ6was, by contrast an "ideal size." The MarkX was the first Jaguar
saloon to featureindependent rear suspension. It differed from
earlier large Jaguar saloons in having 14" wheels instead of the
more common 15". It used a wider-track version ofJaguar's IRS
unitfirst seen on theE-Type, which was subsequently used on Jaguar
vehicles untilXJ-Sproduction ended in 1996. The front suspension
used double wishbones with coil springs and telescopic dampers.
Power initially came from the E-type's version of Jaguar's XKinline
six-cylinder engine. A 9:1 compression ratio was standard but an
alternative 8:1 compression ratio was available as an option.
TripleSU carburetorswere fitted, fed from an AC Delco air filter
mounted ahead of the right-hand front wheel. Transmission options
weremanual, manual withoverdrive, automatic, or automatic with
overdrive. Many domestic market cars and all cars destined for the
important North American markets left the factory with a Borg
Warnerautomatic gearbox. Stopping power for this heavy car came
from power-assisted disc-brakes on all four wheels and
power-assisted steering was standard. Documentation includes a
Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate and more than $4K in
receipts from Mr. Parkoff's restoration in Florida. Competition to
this Jaguar in 1964 included BMW's New Class Sedan, Cadillac's
Sedan de Ville, Chrysler's 300, Mercury's Park Lane, Oldsmobile's
98 and Mercedes-Benz's 600. Whether you're a head of state,
