Sellers description:
1960 Jaguar MK 2 sedan. It has the desired 3.8 liter dual overhead cam engine coupled to a Borg Warner DG 250 3 speed automatic transmission. The car is as it should be and has only one modification from new. That is a Pertronix solid state ignition for reliability and driving pleasure. All of the old ignition parts are in a box and available for the new owner. It is stunning in its Claret paint with oatmeal interior.

This is an older restoration well cared for with what appears to be only 28,000 miles since 1983. (Photo records of restoration are available.) Full restoration, regular maintenance, garaged kept and necessary repairs and replacements are the reason this MK 2 looks the way it does today, 49 years after it rolled out of the factory. The car was restored in 1983 by Lee and Judy Eggers of Eugene, Oregon. According to the records I have, it went on to take 1st place in Champion Division nationally in JCNA for its class. It was also a 1st place winner in its class at the famous Vintage Car Show at the Pacific University Campus in Forest Grove, Oregon. The MK 2 was later sold to Jerry Liudahl, owner of Old Irish Racing in Eugene, Oregon. Jerry drove it and used it as a family car until selling it to Clifford Price in Atlanta, GA. Mr. Price took great care of the car spending many dollars keeping it in show condition and showing it at JCNA sanctioned events. Mr. Price also loaned this MK 2, by request of the Sebring Race Museum, to be displayed in their Gallery of Legends tent at the Sebring 12 Hour in March 2005. Approximately 10 years later he sold it to The Great Gatsby, in Atlanta, GA. where my wife and I acquired this beauty in June of 2007. We had it shipped to our home in Marvin, NC. We have shown it at Euro Auto Festival the past 2 years and taken 1st place (in class) in the people choice award each year. WE have not trailer the car, but have enjoyed driving it to events in South Carolina and North Carolina. It drives well and has always been reliable.

Seller's description:

This is a high-end car kept in a high-end garage. It's in excellent condition and will make a nice addition to any car collectors’ collection.

 Don't lose out on this perfect opportunity to own this magnificent, stunningly beautiful, and excellent condition 1960 Jaguar Mark II.

 Here is your chance to own a beautiful antique 1960 Jaguar Mark II for almost half of what it cost to rebuild it to this exquisite almost perfect condition.

 This car that cost over $130,000 to bring it to this magnificent condition, and you can own for a lot less than it cost to rebuild into the most beautiful colored car out there. The car is a beautiful burgundy red car and has a totally redone light beige leather interior with beautiful burl wood dash, rear desk, highlighted and trimmed interior. I do woodwork and sculpture, and this is so beautifully handcrafted that it makes the car’s interior standout beautifully. 

This car was my parents and was given to them for payment on a debt. My father who loved and knew cars better than anyone I ever met spared no expense to restore this car to its immaculate condition that it is today. Their mechanic Phillip Middleton took the engine totally apart and meticulously rebuilt a newly conditioned transmission and engine to exact specified condition and added the best thing needed here in the south especially in summer an air conditioning system. He also put in a new Bose radio and speakers. 

My father was a marine and had to have everything perfect, so he had Phillip come to his modified garage almost every weekend for over a year and periodically comes to maintain its excellent condition. 

Phillip comes from England and works on engines almost his whole life. He still works for Skip Smith a well-known antique coinsures on his own show on television. 

Phillip still comes by to help maintain this car excellent condition and is available if the car stays in Georgia.

You will not find a more beautiful burgundy color exterior and perfect shape interior with its extra added features anywhere on the internet because I've tried.

This car is a head Turner it's so beautiful. 

This car is garage kept on a trickle charger and started often by me and periodically checked on by Phillip. 

I have meticulous records of all the work and maintenance done to this car, and some of the Awards won at various Jaguar and car shows in Georgia while my father was alive.

This car is a showstopper and hopefully won't last long My parents’ members for over 18 yrs to jaguar clubs

Ex-marine must have everything immaculate so spent TOO MUCH money making it perfect, so you'll get more than the asking price. Our loss is your gain.
