The car shared its 10-foot (3.05 m) wheelbase with its predecessor the Jaguar Mark VII which outwardly it closely resembled. However the interior fittings were more luxurious than those of the Mark VII. Distinguishing visually between the models is facilitated by changes to the front grille the driving or fog lamps being moved from the front panel to the horizontal panel between bumper & front panel larger rear lamps and most obviously a curved chrome trim strip below the waistline which allowed the factory to offer a variety of two-tone paint schemes. In addition the new car had rear spats that were cut back to display more of the rear wheels and featured a one-piece slightly curved windscreen where the Mark VII had incorporated a two-piece front screen of flat glass.
