Current bid $2,025 reserve not met 6 bids 1 day left in auction.

Sellers description:
1960 Jaguar Mark IX Saloon, it is a two tone car in Silver with a very nice Red Leather Interior. This Jag needs a bit of therapy, she does not currently run, but is complete. The body is in good condition overall, and the interior is in good condition. These cars are impossible to find in this condition and they are often mistaken for a Rolls Royce, the Queen of England actually preferred riding in the Mark IX over the Rolls Royce and regularly was seen in these cars.

The engine and mechanicals will need some therapy, but they are complete. The engine is currently not running, but we can work with the new owner to assist in the restoration project. We can do the engine and transmission rebuild so that you can enjoy the car while you work on the additional details, or you can buy the car as is and do an engine and transmission rebuild, this is up to you! We love to drive these cars and work on them, it does nothing but make them increase in value.

This is a relatively clean and straight example that has clearly been cared for over the years. There are some nits and nats, minor dents, some flaky paint, and some minor body issues to contend with, but they are minor, the floors and frame are in good shape as are most of the body panels.

The interior is in good condition, the seats are in good shape as is the carpet and headliner. The iconic dash is in good shape as is the steering wheel and touchable items, and the gauges are all in good overall condition. Simply rebuild engine and transmission, or have us do, and you have a terrific car.

We were very impressed with the condition of the car underneath. The floors, rocker panels, and overall frame are in good condition. There is some scale, but this easily removed. There are some spots on the body panels and a couple of other issues, but this is easily fixed. We found no evidence of accident history or previous repair underneath. This is a highly original, solid car, making it a great candidate for restoration and long-term enjoyment.
