Gents,
I'm normally on the XK8 forum but had to ask about the attached Jaguar. It has peaked my interest. I can tell you every negative and positive thing about the XK8 but this a totally different cat to me. Any advice?
1967 Jaguar 420

Hi Dave,
Based on the pics, this car looks to have had some form of restoration. Looks can be deceiving.
However, the price is comparable with that of those I have seen for sale in the UK though this particular car looks to be in much better condition.
If you are tempted, then I would certainly get underneath and have a very good root about.
If it checks out then you would have a very cheap classic that will, in my opinion, start to appreciate more when all the E-types and MkII's prices have gone into the stratosphere.

Somehow the 420 never caught on - probably fading in comparison to the S1 XJ6 that came online a couple of years later. Stylistically, the front and rear did not seem to work well together (one of the best near-contemporary sheet-metal changes that I have seen was to open up the rear wheel opening so that it matched the front wheel opening). The 420 has always been under-priced in the Jaguar market (my belief). I always thought it was a lovely motor-car.
