I had the very rare left-hand drive MK8, (without the truly vulgar whitewall tyres.) 4-wheel drum brakes, no power steering. One was given to the Queen Mum, but she wasn't strong enough to drive it, so they terminated the MK8 production, and made the MK9, and swapped it. Most of the remaining MK8 stock was lost in a catastrophic fire.
A lovely look and a great sound. The T5 is a rare beast today. Some lovely touches to that bike. I did not love the T5 (from the factory) but I do rather like your creation. Clean lines, uncomplicated lines, fresh lines. And one of the great drivetrains and frames of the 70s and 80s. It must be a huge pleasure to ride. It is fair to say that I am a little bit envious. Chapeau!
One very beautiful motorcar Ein sehr shon auto The first Jaguar variant with the basic drive line (4.2 engine, three speed auto with independent rear suspension) that continued on in the XJ6 for twenty years. The 420 "Compact" is the best and swiftest of all the leather and wood Jaguars. Great car
Is still for sale?
This bike fits you very well, it’s in proportion to your height How tall are you?

A truly great car in the best British tradition (from a lifelong Jaguar enthusiast)
Well done, mate!!
Just perfect rebuilt Moto Guzzi…. Is for sale? 👍
Superb car but really an amateur, awful video
Very elegant car! How much was it sold for?
19.500 Euros
@@smily256 really? Not bad. I've heard that Mk II models are more expensive. But the 420 is a much better car.
What a beautiful car! Looks very much like the one our former Queen Ingrid had. Just pure elegance.
Super sick
What is the point of playing that music? What we want to hear is the sound of the engine.

Bellissima , complimenti!
Love Guzzis the engines sound like a bag of spinners until you hit 70 when they smooth out.
Beautifull car.... Looks like its been restored... The vents at the front are missing also... And very rare being manual
Schick. Wirkt wie frisch aus dem Werk. Da könnte man schwach werden. Aber ne ne
Molto bella..!! Lanfranconi 🔝🔝🔝
Beautiful bike.... Very nice. I've got the same bike but it is not so perfect as yours
Sehr schön - ganz mein Geschmack.
Kompliment. Schoen umgebaut. Wunderbarer flow.
Hallo, ich habe auch ein 420er. Hast du ihn noch ?
A lovely looking 420...they drive really nice as I had one the same colour
I turned the sound off !!!
What is the strange screeching noise that is heard throughout the video ?
This is one of the very rare occasions when I DIDN'T turn the sound off.
Bravo!

You too? I'm getting the "old girl" ready for the road again. They are just too beautiful to leave in a garage.
