SUMMARY

A very rare 1967 Jaguar 420 4-speed manual with overdrive.

DESCRIPTION

Background:

Jaguar's 420 was introduced in 1966 as a bridge between the Mk II and the larger Mk X, providing a more refined and luxurious option within the Jaguar saloon range. Building on the successful S-Type platform, the 420 featured a new, more squared-off front end with a four-headlamp design, setting it apart aesthetically from its predecessors.

The 420 was powered by the 4.2-litre XK engine, also used in the Mk X and later the 420G, producing around 245hp. This powerplant, combined with either a manual or automatic transmission, offered a compelling blend of performance and comfort. The 420 maintained Jaguar's reputation for sporty handling, thanks to its independent rear suspension and well-tuned chassis, despite its more luxurious leanings.

While the 420 filled a niche market and provided a valuable stepping stone between the Mk II and the upcoming XJ series, it struggled to achieve significant sales success. Its positioning as a middle-ground option did not resonate as strongly with buyers as Jaguar had hoped. Nonetheless, the 420 remains a noteworthy model for its role in transitioning Jaguar's saloon lineup towards the revolutionary XJ6, which would ultimately redefine the marque's approach to luxury and performance.

The car:

This 420 – one of just 33 survivors from 1967 still on the road – presents well in its elegant Opalescent Maroon, with only a few imperfections and light bubbling, belying its 57 years. The interior is beige leather, with no cracks and with a patina which suggests it is the original trim. The brightwork is also in good condition, with some tarnishing and imperfections but remaining entirely presentable, for a car of this age.

The vendor states that the car drives extremely well, with tight and direct steering, a smooth clutch and gearbox and responsive engine and brakes, all adding up to a fine, entertaining performer with no overheating issues and always holds the correct pressure.

This Jaguar’s five owners have contributed to a wonderful paperwork file, with V5s and logbooks going right back to the original green Registration Book. It comes with a comprehensive collection of invoices from marque specialists, detailing works carried out to date, with circa £17,000 spent with the same owner between 2016 and 2021 and it has had an engine rebuild, with everything attended to including the SUs, camshaft, brakes, stainless steel exhaust, electric choke and much more.

Summary:

A rare Jaguar survivor, faster and more poised than a MK2, and rarer than a MK1 E-Type.
