Seller's description:

Jaguar 420G Convertible 1969 Roof Chop Convert, AL-65-90

Signs of use/damage and wear all around according to age/mileage. Visit the viewing day for your own opinion.

The Jaguar, originally from 1968, was converted along with eleven other examples by a company in Coventry led by Graig Hinton. This company works closely with Jaguar and was also involved in the production of racing versions of various car models. An article about this collaboration can be found in the documentation.

In December 1969, the car received the British registration number TUT-580-H, the registration plate of which is currently in the trunk. There are probably only two white copies of this car in circulation, in addition to two other color versions known in the Netherlands. The status of the remaining eight copies is unknown.

In 2002 the car was purchased verbally from a British owner who drove it in Zaire (now DR Congo). The car was picked up much later and registered with a Dutch license plate (AL-65-90) in 2004. Since then, the car has been in the possession of the current owner, first for business and later privately, with maintenance carried out by Kolvenbach.

The person who brought the car from England on behalf of the owner and conducted the negotiations worked on this car as a young man in Coventry. There is said to be a photo of him on the roof of the car, but it cannot be found at the moment.

The car's original owner discovered in England that his pension from Zaire was lower than expected, forcing him to sell the car.

The right side of the car, as well as the headlights, was tackled by Bart Romijnders. The front bumper on the left has a small dent, sustained during a collision with a Peugeot in France. Many trips have been made with this Jaguar in the Dolomites, Alps and Vosges.

The car has two smaller gears on the steering wheel, which is ideal for driving in mountainous areas. In 1982, the electric roof was fitted with a motor from a Rolls-Royce. The documentation also includes a compliment from John Egan, then CEO of Jaguar, about this adjustment.

In December 1969, the convertible version of the car was officially registered.

This is a Jaguar 420G Convertible from 1969.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
