Originally from 1968, the Jaguar was converted along with eleven other examples by a Coventry company led by Graig Hinton. This company works closely with Jaguar and has also been involved in the production of racing versions of various car models. An article about this collaboration can be found in the documentation.

In December 1969, the car received the British registration number TUT-580-H, the number plate of which is currently in the trunk. There are probably only two white examples of this car in circulation, in addition to two other color versions known in the Netherlands. The status of the remaining eight specimens is unknown.
In 2002 the car was purchased orally from a British owner who drove it in Zaire (now DR Congo). The car was picked up much later and registered in 2004 with a Dutch license plate (AL-65-90). Since then, the car has been in the possession of the current owner, first for business and later for private purposes, with maintenance being carried out by Kolvenbach.
The person who brought the car from England on behalf of the owner and conducted the negotiations worked on this car as a young man in Coventry. There is said to be a photo showing him on the roof of the car, but it cannot be found at the moment.
The original owner of the car found out in England that his pension from Zaire was lower than expected, so he had to sell the car.
The right side of the car, as well as the headlights, were tackled by Bart Romijnders. The front bumper on the left side has a small dent, sustained during a collision with a Peugeot in France. With this Jaguar many trips have been made in the Dolomites, Alps and Vosges.
The car has two smaller gears at the steering wheel, which is ideal for driving in mountainous areas. In 1982, the electric roof was fitted with an engine from a Rolls-Royce. The documentation also includes a compliment from John Egan, CEO of Jaguar at the time, about this change.
In December 1969, the convertible version of the car was officially registered.
This is a 1969 Jaguar 420G Convertible.
