Car has a buy it now price of $55,000 for 6 days, seller model1917, 58k miles, Moseley, Virginia

Sellers description:

I have owned this Jag since 1976 and have always kept it in a garage. Air conditioner needs service and the clock and radio do not run. Lacquer paint has peeled in spots and the driver's door has rust and the skin should be replaced. The car is original, runs cool, starts easily, tires are 3 years old, stainless exhaust, top and rear window very good. I drive this car at least monthly all year and it is a joy to drive. I am selling this car because we are down sizing.

This is a USA LHD car that the vendor acquired in 2017 and imported to the UK. The previous keeper had owned the car for 42 years. Once in the UK, a six-year restoration began that we are told cost £50,000. The body was returned to bare metal and restored in its original Pale Primrose. This work included converting the aesthetics to UK specification by removing the marker lights and fitting the Series 1 rear units. The engine was fully rebuilt by specialist Nigel Boycott in Coventry. A five-speed Tremec gearbox and modified propshaft by Beagle Engineering was installed to improve long-distance touring, and it received a new clutch, and triple SU carburettors were returned to UK specification. 

Inside, the black leather has been fully retrimmed. The folding roof is, we are told, original but presents well in photos. The car sits on a set of smart chrome wire wheels. 

The original gearbox, carburettors and Series 2 rear lights are included. The original a/c unit has been removed and the car is supplied with an unfitted brand new system that the vendor tells us is worth £4,000. 

Here is an opportunity to capitalise on a recent high-end restoration. This pretty car neatly blends original and updated features, with the option to retain or reinstate as you wish.
