Sellers description:
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF A 1968 JAGUAR 420G. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SAME FAMILY FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAS ONLY HAD ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. NO EXPENSE HAS BEEN SPARED IN KEEPING THE VEHICLE UP TO THIS HIGH STANDARD WITH OVER $30,000 SPENT OVER THE YEARS. ALWAYS GARAGED, ALL THE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND A RECENT ONTARIO MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT CERTIFICATE IS ON HAND.

THE BODY IS UNMARKED AND THE PAINT IS FIRST CLASS AS WELL AS ALL THE CHROME FITTINGS. THE INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT AND THE EXTENSIVE WOODWORK COMPLEMENTS THE OVERALL "SHOW" QUALITY APPEARANCE. HEADLINER, SEATS AND DOOR TRIM ARE VERY GOOD. ALL OTHER INTERIOR ASPECTS ARE EXCELLENT SUCH AS CARPETING, ARM RESTS, WINDOW VENTS, ETC.

THE ENGINE IS THE ORIGINAL XK 4.2 LITRE WITH EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE. OPERATING TEMPERATURE IS ALSO AS NEW. NO UNUSUAL NOISES OR RATTLES AND BAGS OF POWER FROM THE 265 HORSE POWER ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPED WITH AN ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WHICH WORKS WELL. ALL ELECTRICS INCLUDING POWER WINDOWS OPERATE PROPERLY. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGES GEAR SMOOTHLY AND IS VIRTUALLY SILENT.

WE HAVE PHOTO'S OF THE UNDERSIDE WHICH I CAN SUPPLY ON REQUEST. THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ON THE BODY AND THE EXHAUST IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE FOUR WHEEL DISK BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATES FINE AND THE PADS/ROTORS ARE VIRTUALLY NEW. STEERING AND SUSPENSION ARE ALSO EXCELLENT WITH NO UNUSUAL MOVEMENT. FINGER TIP STEERING IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED AND NO EVIDENCE OF "WANDERING" THROUGH THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING. TIRES ARE GOOD TOGETHER WITH A FULL SPARE.

OVERALL, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VEHICLE AND MUST BE ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF A CLASSIC BIG JAGUAR. WITH ONLY 39,000 ORIGINAL MILES, YOU CAN BUY WITH CONFIDENCE AND ENJOY TAKING THIS GREAT VEHICLE TO YOUR FAVOURITE CAR SHOWS.
