JAGUAR 420 Registration No. TBA Chassis No. PIF 7330 BW Engine No. 7F 9535-8 Silver with red leather upholstery Engine: 6-cylinder in-line monobloc with dual overhead cam, 4,235cc, 245 bhp at 5,500 rpm; Gearbox: three speed automatic; Brakes: Dunlop servo assisted discs; Suspension: front, independent with wishbones and coil springs, rear, wishbones, radius arms and coil springs. Right hand drive. By the autumn of 1966 Jaguar were well into revising their existing model range; the already-successful S-Type was modified and it became the 420, whilst the existing MkX became the 420G. The S-Type itself was an improved MkII saloon featuring updated rear suspension and redesigned tail end. Further improvements occurred in the car although, as always, the traditional Jaguar mix of woodwork and leather were retained. The 420 shared the front radiator grill of its cousin the 420G, although was a smaller car generally. The 4.2 litre engine had twin SU carburettors, as opposed to the triple setup for the MkX, and power was a noticeable 245bhp at 5500rpm. In all, some 7,000 models were built for the domestic market, with just over 2,500 bound for North America. The introduction of the all-new XJ Series eventually saw the demise of both the 420 and 420G. This 420 was restored a number of years ago and has subsequently been kept as part of a private car collection. Panel fit is good and the condition of the paintwork is generally good with a high-gloss silver finish. There are a few areas which perhaps would benefit from some attention but the overall condition of the car is sound. Under the bonnet the 6-cylinder engine appears clean and the car showed good oil pressure when warmed up. The interior has deep red leather upholstery with a 'comfortable armchair' appearance, and complementary red door trim and carpeting. The car stands on smart, chrome wire wheels which, at the time, would have been a favoured option when new. On the road these late '60s Jaguar saloons are well mannered and are an extremely comfortable way to convey four passengers with luggage over long distances. This example is sold with an MoT valid to July 1996.
