This 420G with factory fit electric windows and heated rear screen first left the Browns Lane works in Coventry in 1969 and was purchased by the vendor in 1998, when, he says, the 4-door sports saloon was still in original condition. Over a 5-year period, it was then mechanically and cosmetically refurbished and is said now to be in very nice condition. The righthand drive car clearly works well, too, for it successfully completed a 1000 miles round trip to the 2002 Le Mans, during which it averaged 16 miles to the gallon.
Included with the car is good service history and the original tool kit is said to be intact. The bodyshell is described as being in excellent condition, with panels painted Regency Red and beige leather interior reportedly very good. Both 4.2-litre 6-cylinder engine and automatic transmission are reportedly in good order. The 119,000 miles displayed when entered for this auction is believed by the vendor to be the genuine total mileage for the XYY 1H from new.
