Mk.X or 420 G |

I slightly favour Mk.X over 420G, but not clear cut either way. |

If there's not enough of it visible to tell, list it as Mk. X by default. -- Last edit: 2013-09-17 23:08:38 |

Let's see… |

It's a 420 not a Mk.X or 420G. In fact you could tell this by the front, the inner headlights wouldn't be as close to the grille on a Mk.X/420G (didn't realise this at first though) -- Last edit: 2013-09-17 23:06:07 |

Or this? |
◊ 2013-09-17 23:06 |
And that is all I can do. |
◊ 2013-09-17 23:08 |
It's enough. Agree 420. |

Now,in retrospect, tell me how you reached to the certitude, if you please. |

420 and Daimler Sovereign are narrow body - effectively they were the S-Type with a new front end; the S-type was really just the older Mk.II with a new boot. So all three families are similar size and have same cabin. Mk.X was bigger flabbier design - wider, smaller side windows, thicker rear pillars - and 420G same with side chrome and thick central bar in grille. Difficult to explain how to spot differences - for me it was the side windows, and GMANN is correct about width of lights from grille, but they are there if you know what to look for. |

Merci. It happens that I wonder which view I had to choose, when somebody is about to find but still hesitate. Should I insist on the front, or the side, or try to find some precious detail in a very different sequence? My part of the job is funny too. Now I return to the bloody moped. It sure reminds me something of my youth, but what? |

What really made me realise it wasn't a Mk.X or 420G was that it doesn't have the groove running along the side, so the 1st thumbnail you added was quite helpful. A real Jag expert would probably know anyway because the Mk. X was much wider than this, but I failed to notice this at first. -- Last edit: 2013-09-18 01:17:23 |

Sorry, I really just meant read my earlier comment because I said how I identified it. |

And this earlier comment would have been enough for me, except I hadn't read it since I was at that time extracting and posting the three last thumbnails. When I saw dsl saying 'OK, it's a 420', I asked him his way to gain certainty. Your way was of the same pattern… but I couldn't read it (see the time of our postings). All this to say that there is rarely harm in repeating explanations, on the contrary: the second time being usually more detailed. I like details. I like chatting. Without conversation and jokes, the place would be a bore, don't you think? |
