Purchased in November 2019 and used a handful of times until October 2020, when the engine and transmission overhaul commenced

Returned to the road in June 2023 after the refresh was completed. Work included; engine overhaul - new piston rings, crankshaft and camshaft bearings, exhaust valves and guides, timing chains, gaskets and seals, head skimmed, cylinders honed, oil and coolant circuit cleaned. Auto transmission overhaul - new seals and gasket, hydraulic system cleaned, steering box overhaul (power steering) new seals and gaskets and readjustments. Interior restoration - seat leather recoloured, new door-cards hardboard, front suspension - new ball joints rubber boots, fuel tanks and rigid pipes cleaned, tanks repainted on the outside, level sensors repaired. Electric fuel pumps contacts adjusted, service: new air and oil filters, spark plugs, ignition coil, HT leads, brake fluid, differential, engine and transmission oil, power steering fluid, coolant, body - new door and boot seals, paint polishing

Some paperwork from previous owners indicating that the car was resprayed in the 1980s and the rear axle/differential were overhauled by the previous owner

In period, the Jaguar 420 was an 'executive express' with the style of the Mark 10 and the sporting credentials of the Mk 2. The Sovereign shared all of these qualities and was perceived as a little more 'up-market'
