Paul Garside notes....
{The 420G is quite a good car, with the E-type engine and rear suspension
{(widened). It will, however, never be worth a great deal. Massed-produced
{four-seater four-door saloons seldom are, and the 420G and the Mk X are not
{great favourites - I think they look like an oversized banana. There has
{been one for sale on the Internet for ages.
Yeah, no one wants these behemoths, you can't even give them away. The
MK-X/420G's were the largest car Jaguar ever made - just shy of eight
feet wide!!!
But, the 420G's came with a tri-carb'd version of the 4.2L Jag straight
six. And, once you cut the roof off, you get a grrrrrreat convertible
cruiser (see "Jaguar saloons: Grace, Space and Pace", pg43).
Now that would be a tow vehicle.
Don't laugh, I`m actually looking into doing this....
