On Ebay:
Up for auction is a well preserved 1967 Jaguar 420 - its an arizona car so you arent looking at a rust bucket. Body and frame are in nice condition - no bondo and presumably all original.

You've heard the story "having a baby and now some things have to go..." Well this is one of the things. I got this car about a year ago with the intent make it into a daily driver. Car is nicely equipped with wire wheels (all five) and AC which blows coldish (I don't know how good these were when new but its nice to have anything) Electrically everything works except the radio. Mechanically the car runs drives brakes and has good compression across all cylinders - also has good oil pressure and cooling system keeps car at right temp. Also car runs straight down the road brakes seem sound (stop evenly and rotors done seem warped). E brake works too. Sometimes the brake light comes on when I start the car but If I give the brakes a pump it goes off - could be a little air in the system. the tranny runs through the gears. That said - the car needs a tune up the carbs are not well tuned, new belts and stuff. A day in the shop and the car's probably good to go. There is a new electric fuel pump on the left the right pump is out and I am not sure of of the right tank's condition.

Cosmetically the cars OK - The paint is cool green with some metal flake in it but its an older paint job and really a 10 footer at this time. Chrome is pretty nice except for the bumpers - someone spot paintent them with silver over rust spots. at least they are straight and complete. the rest of the chrome just needs a polish. Inside the wood is nice on the dash - the door wood could be refinished depending on your plans for the car. The Leather is original and the driver seat has on tears in the seat - Passenger is ok and rear is nice. Has original seat belts. needs a carpet kit. I've put some cheapo carpet inside to make it look decent. Headliner is original and a little toasty. - Its all there you just need to decide how nice you want to make this cat. the trunk has its original padding it it and the jack is there.

Beyond that I've got hundreds in parts that come with the car: brake rebuild kits, pads, a brand new starter, tie rod ends shift selector box, 2 brake cylinders and sundry others. If you "buy it now" I'll throw in a NOS SU fuel pump and an extra steering column and wheel.

Comes with clear Arizona title - car is located in CT

I've tried to be thorough but if I missed anything just ask. I will upload more pictures today.

No warranties expressed or implied. Shipping is buyer's responsibility Sales are final. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of action close. If you cannot complete the deal do not bid. I will hold the car for two weeks after which a 40 dollar per week storage fee will be required.
