Performance & Engineering
The Jaguar 420 represented the final evolution of Jaguars compact sporting saloons before the arrival of the XJ6 and was powered by the legendary 4.2L XK twin-cam inline-six engine producing approximately 245bhp.
Key specifications included:
4.2L DOHC XK inline-6 engine
Twin SU carburettors
Rear-wheel drive
Independent rear suspension
Four-wheel disc brakes
Power steering
Walnut timber interior trim
Leather-appointed cabin
The Jaguar 420 combined the compact elegance of the Mk2 platform with the larger 4.2L engine from Jaguars flagship models, making it one of the most refined and desirable driving Jaguars of its era.
Design & Presence
With its signature quad-headlight front end, sweeping bonnet line and elegant chrome detailing, the Jaguar 420 remains one of the most understated yet sophisticated British saloons of the 1960s. Inside, the cabin showcases the craftsmanship Jaguar became famous for polished walnut veneers, traditional gauges and luxurious leather trim throughout.
This example presents as a true usable classic with exceptional history and character, ideal for weekend drives, club events, weddings or classic car collections.
