At the London Motor Show in October 1966 the Mark X was renamed the Jaguar 420G, the only distinctions from the Mark X were the the vertical central bar splitting the grille in two, side indicator repeaters on the front wings, and a chrome strip along the wing and door panels. From 1961to 1970 a total of 24.282 cars were produced. The Mark X was succeeded by the Jaguar XJ6.
