Jaguar MK10
Like the E-type sports car, the Mark X saloon was fitted with triple carburettors, giving
the car enough power for a top speed of 120mph (193km/h) despite its size and automatic
transmission.
The Mark X was Jaguar's first car with unitary construction and its wide body, the widest of any British production saloon, was part of Jaguar's market strategy of the time which was aimed particularly at American buyers. Unfortunately they did not take to the car as well as the company hoped.
In 1964 the Mark X received the 4.2 litre development of Jaguar's famous double overhead
camshaft XK engine, a move designed to improve flexibility rather than engine power, which
remained the same.
The designation Mark X was discontinued after 1965 but the renamed 420G continued with only minor changes until 1970.
Compared with the dumpy Standard Eights and Tens which it replaced, the Triumph Herald was a totally different type of car. Stylish where the old Standards had been dull, and technically exciting where old Standards had been boring, the Herald was the first of a big
family of saloons and sports cars which sold hugely for more than ten years.
The Big Six and B-type models came in 20hp and 26hp variants with prices from £325 to £550.
They featured the unusual Pedomatic system, which started the engine when the accelerator
pedal was depressed. The company continued until 1933 to produce cars that had helped make
its name with the well-to-do.
Ford replaced the Mk II Consul in 1962 with a new model, the Zephyr 4 Mk III. The smallest
of the "Big Ford" range had always used a four cylinder engine and had previously used the
Consul label, however Ford wanted to move the cars more upmarket and believed the Zephyr
name would lend more prestige to the four cylinder car.
The Mk III range featured a new bodystyle which had striking fins and a much lower profile
than the older Mk II cars. The Zephyr 4 had the simplest grille in the new range with single 7" headlamps, the Zephyr 6 looked similar but had a more ornate grille. The Zephyr 4 came better equipped than before, a heater was standard and there were large front and rear bench seats.

美洲虎 MK10
设计上就如同E型跑车一样,X标号的轿车装配了三个汽化器,尽管车型不大而且使用的还是自动变速器,此型号的轿车还是可以达到高达120 mph (193km/h) 的最高速度。
X标号的美洲虎轿车十分宽大,它是在英国生产的最宽大的汽车,同时它还是美洲虎公司生产的第一辆使
用整体结构的轿车,上述做法是美洲虎公司所采取的一种市场战略,目的主要是为了赢得美国佬的喜爱。可是实际上却很不走运,结果证明并没有得到公司预想的效果。
1964 X型号的轿车采用了改进型4.2升的发动机,这种发动机采用了双顶置凸轮轴 XK 型发动机,这种改
进使轿车在保留动力性的同时加强了灵活性。
1965以后这种牌号X型轿车停产,取而代之的是名为420G的轿车,这种新车没有进行多大改进,并且于1970也停产了。
同被Triumph Herald所取代的矮小的标准八型和十型汽车相比较,Triumph Herald是一种截然不同的轿车。所有在旧款车型上令人不爽的设计都进行了改进,便成了时尚的亮点;技术方面也改进了旧款车型中不方便的设计,给人一种耳目一新的感觉,Herald型轿车是第一款能保持十多年销售火爆的大型家庭用轿车,或者也可说成是跑车。
Big Six和B-type型汽车分别具有20和26马力,价格分别是325和550英镑。 这两款车以Pedomatic系统著
称,这种系统可以在油门踩下的时候启动发动机。直到1933年,汽车生产商一直生产这两款车,并因此赢得了易于操作的口碑。
福特公司于1962年生产了Zephyr 4 Mk III 用以取代老版的the Mk II Consul。在“大福特”系列中最小的汽车已经采用了四气缸技术并使用consul标牌,但是这一次,福特公司想提升汽车的市场层次,认定了使用Zephyr这一名字可以给四气缸汽车带来更多的人气。
Mk III系列轿车的特色在于它的车架,具有引人注目的翅片和相对于旧款Mk II汽车而言非常低的汽车外
壳。 Zephyr 4型轿车装配有简单的格栅,在装配有单排7寸大灯汽车系列里面它的格栅算得上是最简洁的一款了;相比较起来,Zephyr 6的格栅就显得有些华丽和精致了。现在Zephyr 4型轿车的装备要比以前改进了许多,加热器已经成为了这种汽车的标准配置,并且车内前后的座椅也都加大加宽了。
