Not an obvious choice to most, but it was in Paul Child\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Mark X was the top of the line saloon car built by Jaguar, originally aimed at the American market\u2014the first Jaguar saloon to feature independent rear suspension. It utilized a wide-track version of the IRS unit used on the E-Type, while the front suspension had double wishbones with coil springs and telescopic dampers. In the beginning, the 3781-cc, inline, 6-cylinder engine with 9:1 compression was standard, though an 8:1 version was available as an option. Later the 4,235-cc engine took over and triple S.U. carburetors were fitted. Many of the domestic cars, and almost all headed for the U.S., left the factory with a Borg Warner automatic. Power assisted steering was standard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the owner of this Jaguar special, Paul Childs, had first seen a Mark 10, along with the E-Type, at the age of 16 in 1963, he thought he had finally witnessed what real cars could be. In later years, having owned a 1963 E-Type and a \u201966 Mark X,\u00a0 Paul\u00a0 was ready for another\u00a0 Jag, but one\u00a0 with a bit of a difference.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Childs knew a few Mark X convertibles existed, and found the company who made the conversions, \u201cLeaping Cat Ltd.\u201d in Leicestershire, England.\u00a0 In 1985, he purchased one from them. The 1968 model, technically a 420G, the continuation of the Mark 10 with larger engine and minor trim changes, started life as all Mark X\/420Gs do, as a four door hardtop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-524453 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p3-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/a>Leaping Cats had converted about a dozen saloons into convertibles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First order of business was to have a removable hardtop made.\u00a0 Childs knew that Jaguar had experimented with the then new V12 engine in Mark 10s, so his next step was to get a hold of one and get it souped up. A friend in England put Childs in touch with a company that modified Jaguars and raced them, and he purchased a new V12 from them that had gas-flowed (ported) cylinder heads and high-lift camshafts. At the same time, Childs\u2019 Mark X was converted to left-hand drive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rounding out the new package, the suspension and brakes were uprated and a 5-speed manual Getrag was added to keep up with the new power plant. The Jag was then sent to Arthur Howlett of East Sussex to put on the finishing touches.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally arriving in the U.S. in 1990, the car continued to be a work in progress. A complete restoration of the body and numerous engine upgrades have brought the car into the 21st century. (Unfortunately, the electrical system remains 1960s Jaguar!) Some of the latest mods include a new rack &amp; pinion steering system, along with the installation of an AJ6 manifold that has added about 40 horsepower.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The car that started life as a 4-door businessman\u2019s transport with very little performance to write home about has now become a two-door rocket ship. I wonder what Sir William would think?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-524452 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p4-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>On the Road<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After opening that very large door on the Jaguar you notice a few things out of place. First, there is a shift lever in the center console and a third pedal by your feet, and when you look up you see the sky. This is no normal Mark 10.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Turn the key and the point is driven home even more. It&#8217;s not the subdued song of a straight six, but the rumble of a V12 dumping out of twin pipes behind you. The Mark 10 was not a car you would rev the engine at a stoplight, but this one you would, even if it is just to make yourself smile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find first gear and start off and that wonderful sound continues to grow, shift up a gear put your foot down and you truly start to appreciate what a special car this is, it pins you to the seat because IT IS FAST!! This is not a sedate luxury sedan, it&#8217;s a beast. You won\u2019t have to worry about getting in the way of modern traffic, they are going to have to get out of your way. You can really feel how the addition of the rack and pinion steering, vented disc brakes and coilover shocks have improved the Jag, it has a very solid feel and the steering is very precise, but that doesn&#8217;t make this an XKE.\u00a0 You are still in a very big car, and the chassis does have some flex to it from having the top taken off, even with the added strengthening done to it. You won\u2019t be carving up corners on the Stelvio Pass with this one, but it would do you proud on the Autobahn or any nice piece of straight road you want to aim it down. This Mark 10 really is a British hot rod, it&#8217;s big, it\u2019s\u00a0 brash, it\u2019s fast,\u00a0 it doesn&#8217;t go around turns all that well, but it sure makes you feel cool. \u2014Sean Smith<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>Driven Classics at a Glance:<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-524451 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DR201302-p5-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a>SPECIFICATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i>1968 Jaguar MK10 Special<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Body construction: steel-bodied convertible on frame<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wheelbase: 120 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Length: 202 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Width: 73.6 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Front Track: 58 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rear Track: 58 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Height: 54.5 inches<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weight: 4200 pounds (stock)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Suspension: (F) Double wishbone with coilover springs (R) IRS<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Steering: Rack &amp; pinion, custom installation<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Engine: Custom, 5.2-liter, V12<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bore x Stroke: 90 mm x 70 mm<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Induction: Custom fuel injection<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Power: 340 hp<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Transmission: 5-speed manual<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brakes: slotted discs<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>PERFORMANCE<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top Speed: 140 mph<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">0-60 mph: 5.5 seconds<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Average fuel consumption: 20 mpg<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>VALUATION<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Price at launch: $7,000<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This Example: $150,000<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">(Stock)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Excellent: $35,000<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Good: $25,000<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Average: $20,000<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Poor: $10,000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of hot rods, you think of \u201932 Fords and \u201940 Mercs, but what about a Mk 10 Jaguar as the starting point?
