Sellers description:
I purchased this vehicle in 2004 from an Ebay seller. I happened to be a Jaguar dealer in that era and this car was similar to my demonstrator. I always enjoyed driving these V-12's and decided to buy this one and restore it - which I did. At the time I bought it the odometer showed 91,500 aprox miles and I believe them to be correct since the odometer was working properly and still is.
Over the years I have rebuilt the upper end, the Transmission and rearend. The Brakes were redone, exhaust and purchased some wire wheels - now in trunk. We stripped the body and refinished the entire car except for the engine compartment since I didn't want to remove the motor at that time. I also ordered a new interior from England and installed new tyers. In other words the entire vehicle has been redone and runs smoothly. I picked it up from my old dealership today after winter storage and also had a couple of hydraulic lines replaced. In addition I replaced the original radio/8 track with a newer model but the original is in the trunk.
Why sell - for the same reason I am selling my Mini. We have purchased a home with our daughter's family and there is no room for a 74 year old's toys from yesteryear! I have all records for the car including a shop manual. The car is registered and runs like a dream.
This is no rusty bucket but a true enthusiast's car to enjoy for many more years. No runs, drips, or issues that I know of! The A/C even works! Happy to show the car with an appointment.
