Auction description:
Lot 377
1967 Jaguar 420G Saloon
Engine no. to be advised
Sold for £7,475 (US$ 10,444) inc. premium
Auction 20141: Collectors' Motor cars and Automobilia
Hendon, RAF Museum

It is especially fitting that this 420G is offered for sale at the Royal Air Force Museum, as its French owner has been a pilot for some 45 years and during the military phase of his career flew many joint missions with the RAF. The vendor bought this automatic transmission model in 1990, around two years after it had been imported to France, and registered it with a regular Carte Grise. Over the last 22 years the car has been driven only some 10,000 kilometres while benefiting from considerable expenditure on refurbishment (see details on file). It has been used three times at the Le Mans Classic as circuit/hotel transport while the vendor was racing other cars (XK120, Riley and OSCA) and on one occasion was parked next to Rowan Atkinson's MkIX Jaguar at the private evening party at L'Abbaye de l'Épau. We are advised that the car is kept garaged, is well looked after and drives very well, only needing some adjustment to the front brakes as it pulls a little to the right under braking. The recorded mileage of circa 70,000 is believed correct. Offered without reserve.

The chassis number for this car is 1D54079BW
