Both the interior and exterior of the car are in excellent condition, with details reflecting the typical British luxury of the era.
This is a car for the collector looking for a classic with history, or for the enthusiast who appreciates timeless design and authentic driving experience. A Jaguar 420 is not just a car – it is an experience and an investment in a piece of British automotive history.
Condition
The body is in great shape and was repainted in 2014. The entire body underwent sandblasting, rust repair with tin filling, and was painted in the unique Golden Sand metallic color. There is no rust, and the paint is practically as good as new. There is a small mark between the door pillars on the left side, but otherwise, the body is free of dents and scratches. The glass around the car is in great condition, with new headlamp glass. The rear bumper is slightly faded, while the trim and emblems are in usable condition. The wheels are undamaged, and the tires are in new condition, with only 1,000 km driven.
The interior is in excellent original condition, with only a small tear on the driver's seat on the right front. The dashboard is intact and free of cracks, and the headliner is also in very good original condition. The steering wheel, controls, and buttons are in good condition, but the cover above the steering wheel is cracked. All the car’s electronics are functioning flawlessly.
The engine is in very good condition and underwent a complete rebuild in 1988. The transmission and driveline are in good working order, although the overdrive occasionally misses, according to the seller. The brakes were also rebuilt in 1988 and have only driven 3,000 km since then.
