 Straight-6
Straight-6 engines were historically more common than V6s, mainly because the length of such engines was not such a concern in rear wheel drive vehicles but also because V6s (unlike the crossplane V8) were somewhat difficult to make smooth-running.
The widespread use of front-wheel-drive and transverse ("east-west") engine configurations in smaller cars saw that the shorter engine length of the V6 became highly desirable, and these days most six-cylinder engines are made in the V configuration.
Jaguar used them, from 1949 until the mid 1980s in form of the legendary twin-camshaft Jaguar XK6 engine, until, at Ford's insistence, they adopted a V8.

 Jaguar automobile history and database - the Jaguar XJ6 and XJ12 Series 1 from 1968 to 1973
Jaguar had several reasons to wish to streamline their large range of cars, but the most important two must have been a) the sheer expense involved in producing so many model variants, and b) the impending introduction in the United States of safely and emissions legislation.
The XJ6 with the existing 4.2 liter engine could be certified to meet the impending American legislation, and so, from its introduction (in September 1968) on, the various other models were dropped, the last being the Mk X (then 420G) itself in 1970.
Much was done to improve Jaguars already impressive chassis engineering, and items such as a double bulkhead between engine and passenger compartments to cut down on transmitted noise, and tuning of the front and rear subframes to reduce road noise made it a superbly refined car.

Unfortunately Jaguar's founder (Sir William Lyons) sold the group to British Leyland in 1970 in a bid to gain the capital necessary to modernise.
The move proved disastrous, as the BL board was riddled with incompetence and labour relations at the Jaguar factory went from "one big family" to strike-riddled and combative.
As such, the XK6 engine continued in production far longer than Jaguar had intended, ceasing mainstream production in 1987, when the XJ40 was finally introduced.
