Jaguar’s flagship saloon in its day, the luxurious 420G arrived in October 1966 as a – mainly cosmetic – update of the Mark X. Launched in October 1961, the Jaguar Mark X was technically more advanced than preceding Jaguar saloons, featuring independent rear suspension similar to that of the E-Type sports car and the tried-and-tested XK 3. 8-litre six-cylinder engine. For a car weighing around two tons, the 120mph Mk X was impressively quick and, like all Jaguar saloons, its interior was exceptionally well-appointed and comfortable. The Mk X was being built with the 4. 2-litre engine, an all-synchromesh gearbox and Marles Varamatic power-assisted steering among numerous other improvements by the time the face-lifted 420G (for ‘Grand’) version came along. Apart from a reshaped front grille and indicator repeater lights, there was little to differentiate the newcomer externally, while within the cabin there were improved seats and a revised dashboard. These alterations would be among the last made to the 420G, which was dropped in June 1970, its place as the forefront of Jaguar’s saloon line-up having been taken by the newly introduced XJ6.
The subject of much previous restoration work, including a bare-metal respray in 2015, this example has had just 2 former keepers from new with current ownership since 2012. Finished in Carnival Red Metallic over the original colour of Golden Sand with a pleasingly patinated red leather interior it has covered less than 86, 000 miles from new. Offered with a large history file, Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate and Swansea V5C.
