Jaguar 420 G 1969 for sale

• Iconic Jaguar 420 G from the late 1960s • Powerful 4.2-liter (4,235 cc) inline-six engine with 4-speed manual transmission and overdrive • Recorded mileage of 20,442 km • Older high-quality professional restoration • Rare manual transmission conversion • One of the first true British sports sedans, long before BMW M and Mercedes-AMG • Belgian registration documents The Jaguar 420 G is one of the most luxurious and imposing models ever produced by Jaguar. As the successor to the Mark X, it combined an exceptionally spacious interior with the legendary 4.2-liter XK inline-six engine, refined driving characteristics, and timeless British styling. In its day, the 420 G was one of the first luxury sports sedans to combine exceptional comfort with impressive performance—a true wolf in sheep's clothing, long before the arrival of BMW M and Mercedes-AMG models. This 1969 example has benefited from a high-quality professional restoration and is finished in elegant Royal Claret, a deep burgundy shade often mistakenly described as black or dark purple. It is powered by the renowned 4,235 cc XK inline-six engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Although the 420 G was originally supplied with an automatic transmission, this car has been professionally converted to manual, resulting in a much more engaging and rewarding driving experience. The body has been professionally repainted and presents very well, while the underside has received recent attention. Its spacious interior, refined driving, and charismatic XK engine make this Jaguar a highly desirable British luxury classic. It is equally at home cruising effortlessly to a classic car event as it is providing surprisingly lively performance whenever the driver demands it. Remarkably, for a Jaguar from the 1960s, virtually all electrical equipment is still fully operational, something rarely found on cars of this generation.
