Sellers description:
I am selling this for a good Jaguar customer from my shop.

1974 Jaguar XJ12L or XJ12 L long wheel base.

V12 Automatic
74,000 miles
Original V12 Engine with original carburetors. Very Clean

It is a 2 owner car, the current whom has owned since 1979. The vehicle ran and drove fine but has been in storage for over 10 years. The owner states that he was told the carburetors were leaking, and that it may be a fire hazard. He put it in storage out of the weather, with the intent to get it repaired but never got around to it because it was a second or third car. He's tired of paying for storage and wants to sell it. It is in a heated warehouse. All reasonable offers will be considered.

EXTERIOR: Has a few blemishes (see pictures), but overall very good, with no body rust. The undercarriage has minimal surface rust with nothing serious.

INTERIOR:
Has a small blemish on driver's door panel. Has one crack in the dash on the passenger side. Vinyl is excellent. Wood is Good. Chrome and carpets are perfect.

MECHANICAL:
Engine is mechanically sound. Will turn over, and attempts to start. We recommend rebuild the carbs before doing much more, as the leaking carbs create a fire hazard. If the vehicle does not sell, the seller intends to repair the carbs and sell as a running vehicle, but wishes to avoid the upfront costs, and sell as is.

ELECTRICAL:
As far as we know, everything worked at the time it was put in storage. Today, the left rear door seems to not unlock. Not sure if it is a mechanical problem or not.

Lots of original paperwork and records
