No, that's incorrect actually. Our oldest and continuous production model since 1968 has been the XJ-Series, joined by the XK-Series in 1996. There was never even an XJ-S Type nor is the XF classified as XF-Type. Prior to the XJ, saloons utilized "Mark" and sports/racing models XK or "Type" (except '60s S-Type and 420).
Not until '90s Ford ownership, was the "Type" designator resurrected in 1995 for the 1999 S-Type and 2000 F-Type concept car. The new X760 XE saloon, does not go by XE-Type either.

And why would it be of relevance for me to mention the X-Type? I'm well aware of that already and did not feel I needed to include it. Perhaps I should've left out the 2000 F-Type concept like I originally intended to, as I only included it when the OP tried to assume "Type" for Jaguar, solely based on the production X152 F-Type range.
The "Type" designator at Jaguar hadn't been in use for 20 years, when in late 1995 the executive board approved the X200 exterior design and resultantly settled on the model name S-Type for it (later filed in April 1998, U.S.).
