Jaguar 420 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1966–1968) — First Generation
The Jaguar 420 arrived as a compact luxury sedan blending a traditional wood-and-leather cabin with genuinely quick performance, offering the reader a classic British saloon built around a smooth, torque-rich six-cylinder layout.
The Jaguar 420 engine familiar from this generation is a 4.2-litre gasoline six, as in the 4.2 MT sedan, paired with a manual gearbox driving the rear wheels. That rear-wheel-drive powertrain favours relaxed, long-legged cruising, with flexible pulling power making frequent gearchanges unnecessary in normal driving.
