Ebay item 10/30/12
i.e.no head liner and the seats ripped with no carpets or side panels. The engine was inoperative and attached to a Borg-Warner gear box and a leaking steering box.

As of October 2012, this car has a completely rebuilt engine with polished alum valve covers and a rebuilt R700 General Motors gear box all with less than 1000 miles. This work was completed by a superior Jag shop in San Marco, Ca. We also repaired, replaced or installed the following:

- Electronic ignition - no points in the distributor

- Brand new 4 core alum radiator with elect fan

- New gasoline tank

- Completely rewired with single harness Painless wiring system

- 4 new tires w/ tubes + 2 extra wire rims

- New classic radio (electronic)

- New carpets, panel s and head liner

- Reupholstered seats with vinyl not leather

- Rack and pinion steering - no leaky steering box and much tighter steering

- Rebuilt speedo and water temp gauge

- All 29 pieces of wood have been had veneer replaced by a notable craftsman in California.

- New stainless steel exhaust system

The body was originally white with black interior - we stripped the exterior paint to bare metal and applied a sealer coat followed by primer coat and then base coat covered by clear coat. The exterior body could use a professional paint job as we missed some areas with the bondo etc.

Otherwise in the spirit of full disclosure there are several small projects remaining such as installing interior lights, signal switch, glove box lights.

The car runs very well - much like any car with new engine, gear box etc.

Reason for sale - car is not driven much - collecting dust in garage.

Local inspections are welcome by appointment. This car is located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

Car has a buy it now price of $35,999 for 6 days. Car now said to be in New Bern, North Carolina with 815 miles on the clock.

Sellers description:
I bought this Jaguar in 2005, out in a field in Thousand Oaks California. The car had no windows on the passenger side, two pieces of wood in the interior dash board pieces with no veneer and painted white. The interior was nonexistent, i. e., no headliner, seats in disrepair, no cruets, or side panels. The engine was inoperative attached to a Borg-Warner gear box, and a leaking steering box. As of 2012 the car has a completely rebuilt engine with polished aluminum covers and a rebuilt R 700 General Motors gear box with less than 1000 miles. This work was completed by a superior Jag Shop in San Marco, California. Also repaired or replaced is the following: Electronic Ignition, New 4 core Aluminum radiator with electric fan, new gasoline tank, completely rewired with single hanses Painless wiring system, New tire and tubes plus 2 extra rims, new classic radio (electronic), new carpets, panels and head liner, reupholstered seats, Rack and pinion steering, rebuilt speedometer and water temperature gang, All interior wood had the veneer replaced by a notable craftsman in California, new stainless exhaust system.

The body was originally white with black interior. The exterior paint was stripped to bare metal and was repainted. The body could another paint as some areas were missed where bondo where repairs were made. In the spirit of full disclosure there are several small items still requiring repairs; heater box, glove box light, connecting tachometer cable, Wire wheels have so surface rust, and to achieve concourse quality new exterior paint is necessary.

The car runs very well- much like any car with a new engine, gear box and etc. Approximately 1500 miles on these items.

Reason for sale - car is not given much - collecting dust in garage. Local inspections are welcomed by appointment. This car is located in New Bern, North Carolina.
