- Bare metal respray in 2017
- Original red leather interior, tool kit, radio
- Rare electric windows
- Parts manual, handbook, history file
- Described as either very good or excellent overall
- Said to be an absolute delight to drive

This lovely-looking 420G was treated to a full restoration by the previous owner, a retired coach-builder, as recently 2017 - the work included the fitting of a pair of new fuel tanks and was completed by a bare metal respray. The Jaguar is now resplendent in Black over Silver bodywork that's complemented by the car's original Red leather interior. Manufactured in 1968, 'AXF 830F' came equipped with automatic transmission and the then rare option of electric windows. The vendor informs us that it is now 'an absolute delight to drive, requires no further work and is ready to travel or show anywhere'. He has graded the bodywork as 'excellent' and the paintwork, interior trim, straight-six engine and transmission as all being in 'very good' order, but admits he only marked the latter items down to allow for the age of the vehicle. The big cat is now offered complete with handbook, parts manual, history file, tool kit and radio.
