Sellers description:
PLEASE NOTE: The mileage shown on the odometer may or may not be the original mileage, we just don't know. Therefore, and in compliance with federal law for cars over 10 years old, the title will state 'EXEMPT FROM ODOMETER DISCLOSURE'
Well, first of all, this car needs a total restoration as one can clearly see! There are some bits and pieces missing. The engine number does not match and the motor does not turn over. The 4 speed transmission is present but missing the yoke where the driveshaft connects to. The driveshaft is present, so is the differential, halfshafts and rear suspension. the brakes are all there but will of course need a full overhaul. Chrome wire wheels are fairly nice and the window glass is all present and good. spare tire is present, so is the (rusty) tank.
Moving on to the interior, you might have noticed that the door panels are missing and the seats are very rough. The dash isn't too bad and all the gauges and switches are there. As shown in the last picture, there are a few extra parts that go with the car.
The body is not overly bad but does have rust and there are some spots that were patched in the past. I also noticed some body filler on the rocker panels, there might be more in other spots were I didn't detect it. I could not find any sign of a major body damage, the car is generally straight. The frame is straight too and generally solid but does need a little welding. Nothing too wild though! As I said earlier, this car is VERY RESTORABLE and well worth the effort!
YOU ARE WELCOME TO INSPECT THE CAR RIGHT HER IN Plymouth, PA (Luzerne County)
THE VERDICT:
Considering the rarity of the Series 2 Coupe with only 4855 ever produced, paired with the special collectability and the cult-like following, this Jaguar is a very worthy candidate for a full restoration!Here is a true opportunity, not only to buy a rare and very valuable automobile, but also to invest in an automotive 'blue chip'!
