He owned the car which he described as the finest Jaguar saloon ever produced until 1988 and it has had just 2 registered owners since.

The car was Zeibarted from new (rustproofed by the then market leader) and fitted with a Derrington Wood Rim wheel and electric windows front and rear . She has covered 57,000 miles from new and is a revelation to drive as a manual car with brisk performance from the manual gears and O/D rather than the more sluggish feel of the vast majority of the cars built with the Borg Warner Automatic box. Only around 50 420G,s are still on the road in the UK  the vast majority being Automatic versions which makes this example very rare and desirable .We sold the car in 2014 to a private collector on the Isle Of Man before purchasing it back from him recently.
