Description
1969 Jaguar 420G – Manual with Overdrive – Family Owned for Over 50 YearsOffered for sale is my 1969 Jaguar 420G, a rare and desirable 4-speed manual with overdrive. Over the years, the Jaguar has undergone restoration work on a number of occasions. It remains a solid, usable classic, but it is now ready for its next custodian to carry out further restoration and return it to its former glory. The engine runs and the car drives, although it will require a new clutch in the near future. The bodywork is in fair condition for its age, but it is not perfect and would benefit from cosmetic attention in places. Overall, it presents as an honest, complete car with tremendous potential. Included with the car is a valuable collection of original spare parts, including a spare set of the original wheels complete with their original tyres, a spare windscreen, and a spare front bumper. These are becoming increasingly difficult to source and will be of considerable benefit to the next owner during restoration or future maintenance. The Jaguar 420G is becoming an increasingly rare sight, particularly in manual with overdrive specification, making this an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast looking for a rewarding restoration project with exceptional provenance. A genuine family-owned classic with a long and documented history. Viewing is welcome, and I will be happy to answer any questions or provide additional photographs for interested buyers. For many years it served as the main family car, chosen for its size, comfort, and large boot, which made it ideal for everyday use as well as longer journeys. As a family we used it extensively for holidays across Europe, where it proved to be a reliable and capable long-distance touring car. In the early 1990s the car underwent a significant restoration, which included new bodywork and a refreshed interior, along with a complete engine rebuild, ensuring it remained in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition for continued family use. It was eventually passed on to me by my father in the early 2000s.
