OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONSIDERING IT IS 41 YEARS OLD. THE BODY HAS NO DENTS, BUT HAS A FEW SMALL STONE CHIPS & NICKS THAT HAS BEEN TOUCHED UP. THE WOOD IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS, INTERIOR, HEATER, FANS, VENTS, AND DASH SWITCHES ALL WORK. IT IS COLD BLOODED WHEN STARTING IT BUT THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD WHEN IT GETS WARMED UP. THAT IS WHY I SAID THE CARBURETORS NEED RE-ADJUSTING OR MAYBE THAT IS NORMAL FOR THESE CARS. IT HAS GOOD ENGINE OIL PRESSURE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY EXCEPT OVERDRIVE. IT DRIVES WONDERFULLY AND HAS GOOD ACCELERATION WITH PLENTY OF POWER. THIS IS A DRIVE-ABLE AUTOMOBILE THAT JUST NEEDS A LITTLE TLC.

THIS CAR WAS TAKEN APART IN 1981 AND PAINTED AND IT WAS NOT PUT BACK TOGETHER UNTIL 2003 WHEN I PURCHASED IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.

INCLUDED BUT NOT PICTURED IN THIS AUCTION IS A 1967 JAGUAR 420 RIGHT HAND DRIVE PARTS CAR WITH TITLE. ALSO INCLUDED IS A FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL, OPERATING, MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE HANDBOOK, SALES & SERVICE FACILITIES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM BOOK, THE ORIGINAL TOOL KIT, AND RECEIPTS."
