This car was purchased on 29 October 2016 by its current owner, an enthusiast from Touraine with a passion for British cars, who has always taken meticulous care of his vehicles and was captivated by this car’s exceptional original condition. Its chassis plate, bearing the name ‘Royal-Élysées’ – an importer in Paris – proves that it was sold new in France, where it has clearly spent its entire life in caring hands.
Since 2016, its owner has spent over €14,000 on work carried out by Tessier garage in Veignié to ensure this Jaguar 420 remains impeccable in both appearance and performance, including the overhaul of the front and rear axles, the braking system and the rear axle (bevel gear).
As a result, it is now in a remarkable condition, with a body that has undoubtedly only been repainted once in its beautiful sandy colour, and impeccably preserved panelwork, as evidenced by the engine compartment and the boot, which houses the original spare wheel and jack. The interior features cognac-coloured leather upholstery, which is also extremely well preserved, with deep seats and a wooden dashboard that exude luxury and comfort. An original car radio completes the interior of this car, which is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
With its noble 6-cylinder engine, stately lines and luxurious finish, this Jaguar 420 is in an exceptional state of preservation, allowing one to fully appreciate the comfort and driving pleasure of one of the most prestigious British saloons of its era.
