Auction description:
Jaguar 420 Saloon
Classic Cars, Barons (12th December 2006)
Overview
This 1967 example is equipped with the factory option of a manual+ overdrive gearbox, as denoted by the DN suffix to the chassis number. It is said to have been dry stored for a number of years until acquired by the vendor in May of this year, when it was given to renowned Jaguar specialists Swallow Engineering to be recommissioned. Swallow went through the car replacing hoses, fuel pumps, tyres and mechanical parts as they were required. A copy of the invoice from Swallow is included in the history file.Not only is this a rare manual example, it is also finished in a rare colour combination of black with red leather. Black Jaguars are a rare sight but do look stunning with the contrasting chromework, especially when they are equipped with chrome wire wheels, as is this example.The vendor describes the car as being in good to very good order. The car has an MoT through to June 2007 and historic tax through to May 2007.This means that, insurance allowing, you can drive this 420 home.
