A very special car
The Jaguar Mark X 4.2 in question is certainly no ordinary car. Originally designed for the Nord America – and popular with diplomats and Hollywood stars – the Mark X was known as the ideal car for those seeking the luxury of a Rolls-Royce at half the price.
On a mechanical level it was equipped with interesting innovations for the time, such as for example the independent rear suspension and a top speed of 120 miles per hour (194 km/h), achieved thanks to the 4.2-litre naturally aspirated 8-cylinder engine positioned under the hood.

Lucas Gomersall, specialist at H&H Classics, commented: “It’s incredible to be selling a Jaguar that has such a close connection to Madonna,” he said, adding that fans and collectors alike are sure to be thrilled by the sale.
While the Madonna connection is certainly a highlight, Gomersall stressed that this Jaguar is special in itself, being a rare 4.2-litre model that was only in production for a couple of years.
