Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
Offering the perfect blend of plush and performance, the Mark X is incredibly quiet while being one of the fastest saloons of its time.
The Mark X was first unveiled at the London Motor Show in October 1961, seven months after the E-Type. It was considered thoroughly modern for its time, offering monocoque construction, a DOHC engine, four-wheel disc brakes and sophisticated fully independent suspension. This example is the later model which received mechanical updates including variable-ratio steering and a 4,235CC engine, known as the 4.2 offering a useful increase in torque. Even as an automatic, the Mark X had a top speed of 120 mph and could outrun a Triumph TR4.
This example has spent most of its life in the Dawson Bros showroom (Craven Arms, Shropshire) and shows how it’s retained the condition you find it in today. The "Red Connolly Vaumol" leather interior is all original, and the vendor has treated the car to a full body respray in its original colour of "Warwick Grey". It's now ready for a new owner to use and enjoy as it was originally intended.
This listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Keith the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi Keith
Beautiful car. Thanks for offering it forsale.
Is the car currently “in the trade” , therefore one previous keeper ? Of will it have x2 previous keepers when sold?
Was the respray a bare metal job? Did you remove the glass, lights, door cards, all chrome etc?
Did you remove the doors , bonnet, boot etc?
Is the chrome new?
Are the window rubbers all new?
Are the keys original?
Are the wire wheels original spec?
Have you got any old photos?
Are you prepared to publish the invoices for the respray and the other work/ parts purchased by you ?
Thanks
hi i am the second owner the car was refreshed not bare metal respray ,new door rubbers ,original keys,the wheels were on the car and as me and a friend with a paint shop did the work i have no receipts and no photos the car is very original regards keith.
Thanks Keith
The description says the car was grey over red when you bought it so you must have over painted the bottom half below the coach line chrome strip? There is also mention of some corrosion on the front wheel arches and the rear offside door , is there a reason why you didn’t rectify these areas when re painting it?
Have you any images of the car before it was repainted?
hi i think i should say grey over red leather the car has always been all grey and it was painted nearly 5 years ago so a small amount of corrosion will appear and no pic sorry
Thank you for clarifying .
