The Mark X succeeded the Mark IX as the company&#8217;s largest saloon model.<\/p>\n<p>The unitary construction body-shell was codenamed &#8220;Zenith&#8221; during development and this floor pan continued in production long after Mark X production ended, as the DS 420 Limousine. The new style, four headlamps set into rounded front fenders with a vaned grill, first appeared on the Mark X. The interior was the last Jaguar with 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. Later, air conditioning and a sound-proof glass division between the front and rear seats were added as options.<\/p>\n<p>From its introduction 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 rather too large, Jaguar chairman William Lyons, agreed that it &#8220;definitely&#8221; had: he opined that the then recently introduced and notably more compact Jaguar XJ6 was, by contrast an &#8220;ideal size&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The substantial doors required helical torsion springs inside the door pillars to enable them to be opened from the inside with an acceptably low level of effort.<\/p>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"toc\">\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a
