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.The Jaguar Mark X (Mark Ten) was British
manufacturer Jaguar?s top-of-the-range saloon 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. Combined with the 3.8-litre,
triple carburetor engine as fitted to the E-type, it gave Jaguar's
flagship a top speed of 120 mph 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.In
1961, the Mark X introduced a new upright, and slightly
forward-leaning nose design for Jaguar saloons, with four headlamps
set into rounded front fenders (derived from Daimler DK400), and a
vaned grill. This front-end style reappeared on many of the
manufacturer's successive saloons, up to and including the X-Type
and third generation Jaguar XJ, both through 2009 ? thereby forging
Jaguar saloons' look for half of a century. In 2008, Jalopnik
called 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 on body-on-frame
construction, like its predecessors and most of its competitors,
the Mark X received a unitary construction monocoque body-shell,
codenamed ?Zenith? during its development. The substantial doors
required helical torsion springs inside the door pillars to enable
them to be opened from the inside with a low level of effort.From
its introduction in mid-October 1961 until the arrival in 1992 of
the low-slung XJ220, the Mark X stood as one of the widest
production Jaguars ever built. Asked in 1972 if he thought the Mark
X had grown too large, Jaguar chairman William Lyons agreed that it
?definitely? had: he opined that the then recently introduced and
notably more compact Jaguar XJ6 was, by contrast an ?ideal
size.?The Mark X was the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent
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 of Jaguar's IRS unit first seen on the E-Type,
which was subsequently used on Jaguar vehicles until XJ-S
production 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 XK inline six-cylinder
engine. A 9:1 compression ratio was standard but an alternative 8:1
compression ratio was available as an option. Triple SU carburetors
were fitted, fed from an AC Delco air filter mounted ahead of the
right-hand front wheel.Transmission options were manual, manual
with overdrive, 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 Warner automatic
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, diplomat or a movie star or
