Iconic Jaguar 420 G from the late 1960s. Powered by a 4.2-litre inline-six engine (4,235 cc) paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. Recorded mileage is 20,442 km. This car has benefited from a high-quality older professional restoration and features a rare manual gearbox conversion.

The Jaguar 420 G is one of the most luxurious and imposing models ever produced by Jaguar. As the successor to the Mark X, it offers an exceptionally spacious interior, legendary 4.2-litre XK inline-six engine, refined driving characteristics, and timeless British styling. It was one of the first luxury sports saloons to combine comfort with impressive performance, predating BMW M and Mercedes-AMG models.

Finished in Royal Claret, a deep burgundy shade often mistaken for black or dark purple, the bodywork has been professionally repainted and presents very well. The underside has received recent attention. The interior has been restored and shows normal signs of use. The car is equipped with good-condition tires with many years of service remaining.

The chassis number is G1D77950BW, and the original, clearly legible chassis number is located on the right-hand inner wing. The engine bay is honest and well-presented. The engine is in good condition, and the vehicle has been well maintained. The battery will require replacement in the foreseeable future. Signs of wear are present on the clutch and gearbox.

The brakes and handbrake function correctly, as does the overdrive. Electrical systems, including the horn, dashboard, heater, and windscreen wipers, are operational. However, the charging warning light remains illuminated while driving, and the windscreen washers are inoperative. The left front side light is not working, and repairs are needed for the lighting, axles, and suspension components, including play in the rear universal joint, wheel bearings, pitman arm, and idler arm.

The vehicle comes with Belgian registration documents and a Car-Pass. The inspection report confirms the overall condition and highlights the vehicle's desirable features and areas requiring attention.
