Auction description:
1967 JAGUAR 420G FOUR-DOOR SALOON
The Sharpe Family Collection, Christies (1st July 2005)
Overview
Black with red leather interior.
Engine: six cylinder in-line, twin overhead camshafts, triple S.U. carburettors, 245bhp at 5,500rpm, 4,235cc; Gearbox: three speed automatic; Suspension: front, fully independent with wishbones and coil-springs, rear, trailing-link with coil-springs; Brakes: hydraulically-operated discs all round. Right hand drive.

This example has suffered a little over its years of storage, especially on the exterior. Its original black paintwork has developed surface rust all over it but, fortunately, the sumptuous red leather interior has not suffered to the same extent and is described as "worn but preservable". Having stood for 25 years the car is in need of recommissioning. It retains the original service book, and its last tax disc, which was issued in Basildon and expired at the end of May 1979. The car is sold with old-style buff logbook and V5, and with a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate, which confirms it as a matching numbers car.
