Jaguar enthusiasts and Madonna fans alike have a rare opportunity to own a piece of history: a 1967 Jaguar Mark X 4.2, once purchased by the iconic pop star, is heading to auction. Bought by Madonna in 2021 for her son Rocco Ritchie, this stunning classic is set to go under the hammer at H&H Classics on Wednesday, October 9th, at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.
Offered with no reserve, the Jaguar presents a unique blend of celebrity allure and classic British motoring heritage. Lucas Gomersall, motor car specialist at H&H Classics, commented: “It’s incredible to be offering a Jaguar for sale with such close connections to Madonna. Fans and classic car collectors will be captivated by this Mark X.”
This particular Jaguar has been driven regularly by Rocco Ritchie in London, adding a layer of contemporary use to its already storied past. Madonna herself posed with the car just months ago, with the images shared on her Instagram, further enhancing its celebrity status.
The Jaguar Mark X 4.2 was a top-tier model when it debuted, designed to capture the attention of dignitaries, film stars, and affluent buyers. Known for its advanced engineering, including independent rear suspension, the Mark X could reach speeds of up to 120 mph. It offered performance and luxury at a fraction of the cost of a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud.
This particular model, freshly repainted in Opalescent Maroon, retains its original green log book and represents one of only 5,137 units ever built. Lucas Gomersall added, “This is a piece of British motoring history, enhanced by its connection to one of the most famous figures in the world. It’s a car that will always be in vogue.”
