What do you think about this restoration of Jaguar 420, 1968?

Jaguar 420 restored by Carbon Motors Carbon Motors

 

Wow, and it's in Sofia!
I recognized the cathedral before I realized this was Bulgaria!
We were in Sofia for the first time last year for wedding of niece -- fantastic city. Love it and the car.

Is Carbon Motors American owned?

 

Hi Stasha,

yes, this is indeed Sofia. And the UNESCO monument - the Nevski Cathedral in the back.

Carbon Motors is located in Bulgaria as well.
Great to see that you recognized the cathedral

 

Looks like you had more to do than mine, but good to see another done properly.

 

What a fantastic job you have done. So nice to see these cars getting the love and attention they need. If your interested in selling, let me know.

 

Dip - glad you brought this resto back up. WHat a fantastic job he has done.
Any updates on the car?
