Description
The Mark X was the final model in the era of the 'Big Jaguars'. In 1965 it was batched newly 420G also called the 'Big Gee' ... even its still a miracle what the 'G' is really standing for: Great or Grand or Georgious? Browns Lane never had an answer on this question...
In 2007-2008 we searched nearly two years and watched up to twentyfive MK-X/ 420G to find 'the only one' and I felt instantly in love with this highly authentic and original example. My lefthand-drive Jaguar is a late production at end of 1969 with first registration in Stockholm Sweden.
Quiet overall in its first layer of paint. The rare solid colour 'Light Blue' shows a unique and charming wear of age. Same with the rich leather interior, carpets, ceiling, wooden dashboard etc. Each detail as it came out of Browns Lane Factory in 1969; including a non-fitted leaping jaguar on the bonnet. A very rare detail ! By the way ... matching numbers as date of delivery.

My Big Cat is free of rust and was never welded. In 17years of my ownership the Jaguar was maintained professionally with many new parts. Everything is working as it should (except of vacuum-operated heating) and is ready for any longdistance trip all over Europe. Myself travelled to Great Britain (Jaguar Heritage), to Sweden (visiting all previous owners) and a handfull countries more for classic-car-events or vacations. A very reliable classic with a hugh comfort potential.
Now it's time to overhand this magnificient piece of car culture to someone who loves it as I did (and still do). The Jag is located in northern Germany and I am offering a warm welcome to everyone who wants to get in touch with this time-machine.
Looking forward greeting you in my hometown Muenster ...

First registration in Stockholm/ Sweden by Mr Forsberg, a medical doctor. After four years he overtook the Jaguar at his summerhouse at countryside Sweden. So the Big Cat just drove fom may till september withoiut any snow/ ice/ salty roads. The garage was everytime warm for the 420G. In 1997 he died and his wife passed the car to a close friend of them. Unfortunately Mr Lindberg got ill (loss of brain) and his family was forced to sell the Jaguar to a third owner. Mr Sederowsky is a friendly-crazy guy in SE-Koeping who runs an own beer-brewery. After some years he advertized in 2008 this great kept Jaguar and on my trip to Sweden I felt immediatly in love with its unique authentic condition. So I am since 17years the owner and I had a great time with the Jaguar. The mileage of just 68921kms are fully documented by swedish road-test since first year on. In my ownership I spent approx 7000euros on the car. All invoices were present. Life is changing and someone will come and fell in love as me a long time ago...
