I'm a newb here, previously involved with another animal brand. I'm here to try to identify this car I have inherited and then decide what I am going to do with it.

I have posted all of the I.D. numbers in a thread here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/g...54/#post706312

Welcome aboard.

The "BW" indicates Borg Warner transmission, so the gate is open on which car as Norri asked.

The "7F", I am not sure, but somewhere there is a chart of engine prefix codes, I will look when i get a chance.

All in all, an inherited Jag is a bonus in my opinion, and probably well worth keeping.

 

welcome to the forum

 

Interesting problem to have! I'll be interested to lurk around and see how this unfolds. Best of luck. Welcome.

 

OK, found the chart.

According to it, 7F is a 4.2ltr from a 420 Jaguar from 1966-1968.

That model also ran a BW35 transmission, so that lines up with the BW you already have.

Awesome classic in anyones book, trust me.

 

Welcome to the forum Mike,

Good to have you with us.
The mystery is unraveling!
Enjoy the forum.

If you haven't already done so you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

 

OK, making some progress, it's a 420G. Accordingly, I have moved my thread here: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/m...34/#post707106

 

Welcome to the forum.

The 420 guys will help you out. Just give them a little time.

Good to see you.
