Sellers description:
BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC MK 4 2.5 LITRE 4 DOOR SEDAN. RIGHT HAND DRIVE INTERIOR IS COMPLETELY ORIGINAL WITH ONLY MINOR WOOD REFINISHING. I AM TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL COLOR WAS BROWN. OLDER REPAINT AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS BUT IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR FLAWS. 79000 MILES BELEIVED TO BE ORIGINAL. RUNS PERFECTLY AND HAS HAD MUCH RECENT MAINTENANCE INCLUDING CARBURATOR REBUILD, GAS TANK CLEANED AND SEALED, ALL FUEL LINES FLUSHED WITH CARB CLEANER AND BRAKES ADJUSTED. ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY OVER HAULED IN 1982 AND ONLY DRIVEN 12,000 MILES SINCE. OIL PRESSURE 60 PSI HOT. 19 INCH WIRE WHEELS REBUILT AND PAINTED AND RUN TRUE COMES WITH COMPLETE ORIGINAL FACTORY REPAIR MANUALS AND REAMS OF MAINTENANCE HISTORY INCLUDING RECIEPTS AND PARTS LIST FROM THE ENGINE OVERHAUL. TIRES OLDER BUT NEARLY FULL TREAD, NO CHECKING AND HOLD AIR INDEFINITELY. THIS BEAUTIFUL JAGUAR HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED, JUST PERFECTLY MAINTAINED, A REAL HEAD TURNER AND ALSO A GOOD DRIVER.

ALTHOUGH THE 3.5 LITRE MK IV JAGS ARE MORE PLENTIFUL, THE 2.5 CAR IS BETTER LOOKING FROM THE FRONT BECAUSE THE RADIATOR GRILLE IS SMALLER AND BETTER PROPORTIONED.
