H&H at Duxford have one of these for sale. Limited interest granted £9,000-£11,000 guide price. Sedate open toppage. Nice bit of history on the car maker in the auction particulars, for those with an interest in the name

Re: Classic for under £10K
I doubt if this will remain in the limit for this thread but, out of curiosity, does anyone else find something here that is just not right?

Re: Classic for under £10K
This on the other hand may well be true to this thread, maybe a chance for the members based in France to have a new toy?

Re: Classic for under £10K
The Jag number plate looks wrong.
One of my mates had a 420G parked in his drive for years that his son had bought as a fixer upper and abandoned, I got it running and sold it on for him to another 'enthusiast', every couple of miles it had to have the fuel pumps and carbs cleaned out because the rust from the fuel tank kept coming through.

I 'm not sure if it is a tad squashed but the thing that doesn't seem right to me is wire wheels on that model?MattBLancs wrote: ↑11 Mar 2024, 13:26 Is the 420G picture narrowed slightly, it looks a bit squashed/tall somehow??

Re: Classic for under £10K
Pretty sure they had wire wheels Mick, if not as standard certainly as an option.

Re: Classic for under £10K
Here's a full original colour brochure from 1969 for the Jaguar 420G, interesting in its own right. The very small print reveals the wheels and tyres standard spec.

Re: Classic for under £10K
One of my lady customers had a Volcane, drove it like a lunatic after about three years she left it at the side of the road with a drive shaft ripped out and it got towed by the cops, she didn't bother to recover it.
