420 Not G..........................Lusty!
Hey all. After decades of having a serious crush on the Jaguar Mk X, 420 G, and 420, I finally settled on getting a 420. It's "Thorsen"'s old rig.
The maroon 4spd. O/D with all the updated ancillaries. Modern German alternator, AC compressor, (complete AC system), Hardi fuel pumps, new high quality HEI distributor, and tons more. I was really impressed with all of Thorsen's engineering, and that it was a 4spd. had me sold.
I really love the idea of the lesser known 420 compact. It's avant garde styling is totally ME all the way. Plus it seems what people find problematic with Jaguars has been removed and replaced.
This thing is a real driver & a goin' machine. I'd prefer an interior with a more 'worn in' look, but for now will make do with it's like new leather hides, haha ~

Hello, David,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar!
Would that be Thomas Thorsen? If so, you have yourself there a right well done car!
