"Nice original condition inside and out."

Description

A neat and rare Englishman who came to Sweden in 1974. Very nice body with good paintwork in original black colour, in fine harmony with a wonderful original interior in leather. The car is of high class both inside and out. Cars with leather interiors should also smell good and this one does. This 420 has since 1998 belonged to a collector's excellent car collections but has not been driven to any great extent since 2001, which causes problems with the fuel supply. However, it must have been started and warmed up a few times a year until 2020 when the before the owner became sick. At the present time, the car is not tested to be on the road. Like all others, it has a 4.2-litre XK machine and this model has a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, the same type of engine as in the E-type but with 20 fewer horsepower.

The following note about the car is available from the Swedish Transport Agency: PREVIOUSLY INTRODUCED IN EXPORT CARS LIST NO A / 130/70. Re-ordered in Sweden in 1974, which may mean that it is sold new in Sweden and exported and then taken back again.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Does not start. Have not driven in recent years. The engine turns but needs a service and a new battery. 4.2-litre XK machine and this model has a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. New tyres. Very nice chassis and engine compartment. Professionally treated with rust protection. There is no obvious rust. It rolls easily, but we have not tested the brakes and have only rolled it around for photos.

  • Interior condition:

    Original interior with a lovely, well-maintained patina. No obvious wear The dashboard's woodwork is in good shape. The carpet, door cards and headliner are all complete and attractive.

  • Exterior condition:

    A well-executed older repaint. Very good chrome and rubbers. There are some minor scuffs and stone chips in the front, as well as a little parking dent under the rear bumper "see pictures"

  • General condition:

    Inside and out, in great original condition. European style. Given the excellent condition of the interior and engine, the metre reading of 81,000 km may very well correspond to the car's mileage. It requires a start-up service and a new battery.

Facts about the model

420 var länge den bredaste personbilen som tillverkats i Storbritannien men i grunden var den en S-Type med annat framparti och en hel del andra ändringar. Inuti hade säkerhetstänket fått ökat fokus med färre träpaneler och betydligt mer vadderade ytor. Sätena var också nya – även om de var mycket lika de som satt i S-Type. Motorn i 420 var den klassiska 4,2-liters XK-maskinen med två förgasare och 245 hk – bara 20 hk färre än i E-Type. Jaguar 420 Saloon hann bara tillverkas under två år innan den ersattes av XJ6 1968.
