Jaguar MKX /420G 1962 for sale
Step back in time with this spectacular 1962 Jaguar MK10, a true gem from the British car manufacturer's iconic lineup. The MK10, later known as the 420G, boasts groundbreaking innovations like its self-supporting body and individual rear suspension, akin to the legendary E-type. Embracing its status as the widest car in Britain during its era, this elegant sedan commands attention wherever it cruises. And, cruise it does with its 265hp 3.8-litre straight-six cylinder engine found in the early MK10’s. This model was produced between 1962 and 1969 and in 1964 the 3.8 was replaced with a 4.2. This new engine upgrade brought with it the new name, 420G. After this model, all jaguar sedans would come to be called XJ.

It is completely free from corrosion and has had no welding work done to it. Something truly exceptional for this model.
Engine and Mechanics: Beneath the elegant exterior lies a heart of power - a 3.8-litre engine, delivering a spirited 265 horsepower.

All the work that has been done is recorded through parts bills and workshop bills.
History: This iconic Jaguar MKX started its journey in Sweden meaning it is a left-hand drive example. It has been cherished by a limited number of caring owners, leading to its impressive preservation. Throughout its life, the car has done limited driving. We believe the car to have traveled only 92,000km. This is based on the amazing original condition of the car and also the documentation that comes with it.
