Car Forum / UK Car Forums / Classic Cars (UK group) / March 2004A sad day. My 1968 Jaguar 420G is for sale.
I'm afraid I'm having to part with my pride and joy. If anyone is interested in buying it, all the details are at <a href="http://www.herridge.co.uk">http://www.herridge.co.uk</a>. I'm asking for offers of around £6000 and I am based in Richmond, Surrey (UK). Please help me find her a good home! Rob (1968 420G) > I'm afraid I'm having to part with my pride and joy.

Had its predecessor (3.8 MkX) many years ago and loved it. Somewhat bigger than the flat I lived in at the time and certainly better furnished. Amazingly quick without ever being flustered - probably not too good on the sprint away from the traffic lights, but after about 30mph the old lady gathered up her skirts and went like hell. And handled, too, especially considering you were driving something the size of a small English county. Looked at objectively, it was essentially an E-Type on steroids - virtually the same engine and rear suspension, which says a lot for the design of both that they could fulfil such different tasks. Unless you are into originality, a swap from those lovely triple 2" SUs to XJ6 Series 3 injection would give even more performance and far better fuel consumption. Sadly circumstances dictate that I can't buy it, but I'm sorry you have to part and hope you get a good price. Geoff MacK > I'm afraid I'm having to part with my pride and joy.

Worked when I tried it. But then I'm not a techie. Geoff MacK Working OK now...must be my NTHell provider. > I'm afraid I'm having to part with my pride and joy. Looks nice, Rob. Unfortunately, it'd take up most of the small amount of my road I don't already have cars parked on... Two questions, though, on the pics. 1. No pics of the engine bay at all. Any particular reason? 2. Is the paint on the bootlid really utterly flat, or just a trick of the light? It seems consistent across all pics. The pics of the engine bay are coming soon. These are just some old pics I had, I assure you there's nothing dodgy under there! The paint on the boot is pretty flat yes, as is the roof, old cellulose metallics never really did get on well with direct sunlight. They do look OK after a bit of polishing though. Hope this helps. > > I'm afraid I'm having to part with my pride and joy. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > 2. Is the paint on the bootlid really utterly flat, or just a trick of the > light?

I would have thought there'd be a market for hiring her out to film companies wanting period vehicles and for weddings maybe. Not in the market myself but if you do sell her I hope she finds a hood home too. Dave Baker - Puma Race Engines (www.pumaracing.co.uk) I'm not at all sure why women like men.

Unfortunately I couldn't make the dates. > She looks superb and the interior is gorgeous.
