Motor Cars - Jaguars

A Jaguar Series II, 2.4 litre, Mark I was the first of five Jaguars owned.
These were used on hill-walking and ski-ing trips in Scotland and also on alpine mountaineering trips in Europe.
On the outward journey of one trip the distance of 1000 miles from Bearsden / Glasgow to Kandersteg in Switzerland
was covered in 24 hours , including the time for the cross-channel ferry from Dover to Calais.
The Mark I Jaguar replaced a Sunbeam Talbot sports saloon and was replaced by an Austin Westminster A110.
The Westminster was succeeded by a MkII "S" type, a Series II 420, an XJ12L and finally an XJ6 Jaguar.

The Jaguar XJ was a luxury sedan launched in 1968 as the Jaguar flagship model.
The original model was the last Jaguar saloon to have had input
from Sir William Lyons, the founder of Jaguar.

The Jaguar 420 was produced for a short period at the end of the 1960s as the ultimate
in the series of compact sports saloons offered by Jaguar throughout that decade.
