Motorists loved it, and those wanting more thrills were soon offered the 'hot' 120mph [url] Litre a year later. Both were replaced in 1960 by the Mark II models, which added a [url] Litre, and from there the range was developed and expanded with the long-booted S-Type of 1964, the [url] Litre 420 of 1967, and the final 240/340 models of 1968. Alongside there were the Daimler V8 and Sovereign models. The success of this family of cars can be attributed to Lyons's faultless instinct for what buyers wanted and his unerring eye when it came to styling his cars. And of course there was the fabulous six-cylinder XK engine which powered all Jagua.
