The seller offers for sale a Jaguar 420G from 1968, presented as a large luxury sedan with a manual gearbox and petrol engine. This example is powered by a 4.2 liter six-cylinder engine and was originally delivered new in the Netherlands. The car was rescued in the early 1990s and extensively restored, covering the drivetrain, interior, bodywork and paint. The engine was revised by a specialist, and the car has been consistently maintained since, with ownership spanning more than a decade. The interior is finished in beige leather with walnut wood trim, including rear picnic tables. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, supported by overdrive for relaxed cruising. A minor accident at the left front wheel area occurred in 2006 and is documented. Technical upgrades include power steering, brake assistance and modern halogen lighting. A comprehensive valuation report from July 2025 is available with a quality standard of 2+ and has a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. This vehicle took second place at the 2017 Club Concours d’Elegance. It has also been featured in various magazines, such as AMK, and was the cover story of the Jaguar Daimler Club Gazette.
The Jaguar 420G represents the pinnacle of Jaguar’s large luxury saloons of the 1960s. Designed to combine limousine comfort with strong performance, it offered generous interior space, refined road manners and impressive long-distance ability. The 4.2 liter engine provided smooth power delivery, while the chassis delivered a composed and confident driving experience. Favoured by executives, dignitaries and enthusiasts alike, the 420G became known for its blend of British luxury and engineering.
