Sellers description:
I bought the car from the second owner in 1984. This is a right hand drive vehicle. Full bare metal restoration took place in the UK in 1984 including new door skins and new hood/bonnet. The car was rustproofed by Ziebart in 1984. There is some surface rust on the underside of the car. Car was repainted Jaguar Midnight Blue. This car was imported into the US from the UK in 1985. The car has been stored for the last 14 years. Engine turns over but no spark, therefore will not start.

The condition of the body is generally good, with a couple of dings - shown in the photos. The car was hit from behind and there is a ding in the rear bumper. Similarly there is a small scrape on the front left fender/wing - both clearly shown in photos. There is a small patch of rust behind the rear left wheel that can be seen in the photos. The condition of the interior is fair and consistent with the car's age. The leather is slightly worn, but there are no cracks. The headliner needs replaced. The front carpets are missing. The chrome bumpers and wheels will need some work or replaced. The car comes with a cover.

There is a large folder of information showing service records back into the 70s with a pretty clear record of mileage over time. I am very comfortable that the mileage is accurate.

Should you wish specific (additional) photos, I may be able to take these over the weekend.

Should the buyer wish to repatriate the vehicle to the UK, I would be willing to help.

Car running again, mechanically excellent & tight, complete car, body sound but needs some dings knocked out & a respray, interior & leather exceptionally original & mint, will be a great basis for an immaculate & nicely restored car.

Restoration has commenced. Car is completely mobile again & runs strong, will shortly be stripped for restoration. Body is in amazing condition for a 38 year old car & really only requires some minor repairs, dents knocked out & respray. Interior is original, requires minor tidy, immaculate for age.
