420 Story - Dave/Suzanne Ward

We have owned Jaguar’s for many years, our first experience was really character building back in 1986 when we purchased our beloved V12 Daimler (Double Six). We didn’t know at the time that a lump of metal with 4 wheels could create so much love, pain, anxiety, financial hardship, and joy all at the same time. That vehicle started us on a crusade with Jaguar cars that was to last and continue for decades. We purchased our current 1968 420 Jaguar relatively recently in 2014. Our previous XJ40 Jaguar had served us well for many years but like all good Jag’s it decided to stop and not go again right in front of the pub down on the bottom of York Peninsula in a little place called “Corny Point”. The $700 tow truck fee back to Sovereign Motors in Adelaide became even more significant when they just started the XJ40 up on the tow truck tray and drove it off into the workshop. Now our current 420 Jaguar “Basil” resides in our garage all snug and warm while Dave’s everyday vehicle, a Holden Caprice, must endure all the hazards of the Adelaide weather. Regardless the Jaguar makes it oil marks on the garage floor and takes Dave to golf at the Mt Osmond Golf Club twice a week. We love our 420 Jaguar and so do the rest of our family, it’s a stately comfortable vehicle to ride in and we have promised our granddaughters we will use “Basil” as their limousine when and if they so desire.
