For general interest, i recently managed to find a pair of photos of the car from 2012 from Flickr user PhotoBoote that ive reuploaded imgur.com/a/9GmALF9 As you can see, the car has really been in its damaged state for a long time. Makes me wonder when all the damage actually happened if it looked like this 10 years ago. If you have more information regarding the history of the car, i'd be very interested.
Very nice looking Jag even with some rust, think black is a great colour (if black is a colour). Mosquitos not good but it looks like paradise there compared to freezing in the UK.
Its going to get a paint job next year sometime, alot of people said to just clear coat it but i dont want to do all this work and still have the same degraded appearance, i would much prefer a shiny new coat of paint. The mozzies are a real pain, id work on this car for 10 minutes and leave with 10 bites, its very frustrating lmao. Thanks for watching
Found your channel mid December 2022. I searched for Jaguar 420 compact. Cause I have one.Its under restoration. It took itself of the road by ceasing up the rear callipers .lots of smoke out the back. You can get rebuild kits or buy brand new callipers. Love your videos.
As much as I admire Harry Metcalfe's videos about his XJC resto and tips and tricks from Iain Tyrrell about getting the best out of a 5.3 litre V12 the Cut Cat is where my mind is. I bought a neglected S1 XJ6 as a parts car and after a few months of feeling sorry for it am now getting it up and running using as little money as possible and as much hoarded crapola as I can find. Nice to see someone dealing with the same Fred Flintstone floors and discovery of exotic chemical compounds as I am. Great to see it all done under a mozzie infested carport with improvised use of tools. Love the low fi clips. Don't go changing.
you can buy a heritage certificate from jaguar cars in uk, for about 50 GBP the will show the build year, all the matching numbers, and what market is went to, ie uk, or export. and the original colours....this is needed if any doubts with getting car legal etc. you have a front number plate holder that looks like the british version... as for the late 420g's they got the engine mounts on the rear of the engine, ie it sits on the subframe not the chassis rails. and you get bigger Girling front callipers, and the better power steering box with the certificate, you can then get a body plate stamped up, in Uk, and make it easier to 'rego' and sell if ever required. .
This is very interesting, ill have to get a heritage certificate made up by them for this purpose since itll need to pass an inspection and having documents would only help. Thanks for watching
@@cutcat8437 yes, and you can then prove it’s (likely) got original main parts, so easier to get documents as a whole car etc. you get them online, and get a posted official document. From jaguar heritage. You should have a body number stamped to top of inner wing at highest point, can’t remember what side though. Start there. I have a mk10 stored on a farm. I can show you the location, but you’ll find info on Google or jag-lovers site.
@@johnboyairey do you know where i can find engine numbers? At the junkyard i atleast checked that the body tag matched the body stamp (which was at the top of the drivers inner wheel arch, forward of the brake master and to verify the body tag wasnt swapped at a chopshop) but i couldnt quite find where to look for the numbers on the block to verify if its the cars original engine. It would be very nice to have a build sheet from the Jaguar Heritage site for this car!
The engine number will either be above the oil filter housing facing upwards, on early engines, or on the passenger rear bellhousing area, where the bolts] holes come towards the upright of the block, stamped along the edge at say 2 o clock if looking at front of engine towards rear. and start with say, 8L12345 etc. with possibly a dash, and and L, or and 8 at the end, for L low compression, or 8 for 8:1 compression. Also, the casting date, will be above the drain tap at rear of passenger side. Clean up with wire brush, and use a phone to get a picture, something like 20-06-68 etc. for 28th june 1968
Re the ID of the car. In the inner right front mudguard right on the top when you flip open the bonnet that is the genuine chassis number, there should be another little plaque hiding under the rear bumper. let me know what that is I will be able to get really close to what year the car was made. factory automatics will have BW (borg warner) as the suffix. Re the front plate holder , except for the USA/Canada , all other markets got the huge British front plate holder, and, for the final 1970/71 cars , if Factory Air conditioned, they had a secondary pressed panel in black that looked kool kind of like an air-dam, my Mum's new gunmetal grey metallic 1971 model had that & I have always thought that it tidied up & finished off the car as it kind of slowly tapered up at the outer flanks. The '75 Rolls Royce Camargue for all but the US/Canadian markets had an almost identical one as well however it was set back just ever so slightly from the number plate holder, I always felt that it gave the front of that Rolls a bit of depth & a bit of extra substance in its frontal looks. The Jags air dam attached by the 2 plate holder frame mounts on the bumper then the plate holder bolts on over the top of the air dam pressing in the middle of the car. The last air-cond 420g's also came with a front of radiator mounted thermo' fan ex-factory as well. Very rare "beasts" now as in recent years besides my mums one I have seen just two with that air dam, and most came with the really rare late model front air cond centre dash outlets, not just the ones on the rear package shelf. Since the 1968 model year launched the xj6 & the giant Daimler DS420 limousine, which is on a 20" longer mk10/420G "chassis" pressing and in the first 2 years owners felt for their wilting drivers where if the partition window was closed received NO air conditioning, so an outlet was created for the central under dash position this was shared with the very, very last 420G's for '70/'71.
It's obvious, you were meant to own this car. Karma or whatever presented this piece of machinery to you asking for help! My 65 Black/Black MK X came to me in like fashion, having owned an E type in my younger years. Saw that engine needing someone with the skills to revive it and it chose me. It was disassembled at 80K miles to 'decarbon' the valves'. Disassembly neatly checked off in the manual that came with it.
Im predicting that the head needs to come off in the future so i can do an inspection on its internal condition. Back in Part 6 i got the water pump off and noticed a huge build up of aluminium debris (i posted a picture in that video of it) but didnt think about it at the time. Looking back, this is a clear indication of galvanic corrosion that has occurred between the aluminium head and the iron block thats gone through the coolant system, which i think is going to be part culprit in having 0 psi on cyl 2, so if you like engine work on these beautiful XK6 engines (as its clear you have experience yourself), look forward to some mechanical work coming up in 2023. Thanks for watching
Question?. Does the clock work? You can't get the original battery for it maybe cause of the Mecury in it l believe you can get one with a slightly higher voltage that fits in the holder under the dash. It makes the clock go faster. You can adjust the speed with the small screw on the face of the clock
the clock is present and installed, but it was stored in the passenger footwell of a damp and rusty floor board for 25 years, and putting power to it it had no life at all so i suspect its seized. It looks cool in the crashpad nonetheless so its installed just for cosmetics sake. I was thinking too of strapping my ancient Casio CA53W-1 calculator watch in its place so its functional, and can do cool arithmetic while driving
V.W Bought Rolls Royce in 1987 And replaced Engine with their own...They did this after with purchase of Bentley....Jaguars went to Ford Motors in 2000....
@@jimfoo-6041 what are you talking about? Ford acquired Jaguar after the BL collapse around 1989 not 2000. VW's Rolls Royce buyout has nothing to do with Jaguar motors. You might be thinking of the DS420 in these ravings, which is a limo based on the 420G that was badged as a Daimler and the grille on those had a signature fluting style added to the standard grille which is nothing alike this cars grille. Maybe i mis-spoke when i said this was also a Daimler design when i was speaking broadly and it confused you? Not to mention that this particular car was built decades before any of those buyouts when Jaguar was still headed by William Lyons and Brit designers, so any talk about German ownership or engineering is irrelevant.

Due you have Original Engine ?
It's a Daimler Engine?...V.W/BMW
no its not a German engine, this is inside and out all British engineering. It has the original Jaguar/Daimler 4.2 engine
Lol....Its A Daimler!...I doubt, it's a British Motor.
V.W Bought Rolls Royce in 1987 And replaced Engine with their own...They did this after with purchase of Bentley....Jaguars went to Ford Motors in 2000....
