Well boys and girls here it is I have decided to sell this one of a kind 1971 XKE jaguar, It only has 23000 actual miles, V 12, 4 speed, posi track rear, air condition, looks real good drives like a dream. It has a new paint job a tree limb fell on the right front fender and scratched it had to paint the whole thing to get the match right, it is a really is a good job, All the rubber trim is new, belts and hose replaced, clutch slave, tires replaced, the ones that were on the car looked like new but weather cracked. the one in the trunk has never been on the ground. I dont think it needs anything, just go and drive it and have fun ,this car has NEVER been driven on a wet road.

The jaguar has set most of its life, I have known the vehicle for 26 years, it was stored all this time but not in a controlled enviorment so I had to completely redo everything, when I got the car it had never been driven on a rain slick road the paint was faded so I repainted it, same color as factory, canary yellow, the original tires were on it but were weather cracked, I was scared to drive on them, I tried to replace them with the original type tires but they arent made anymore so I got as close as I could, nothing had to be done inside on the leather, I replaced everything that was rubber around windshields doors bumpers headlights all water hoses belts fuel pump cleaned gas tank new alternator new fans cleaned radiator, anything I could find needed anything I fixed it, it is a v12 four speed 411 positrack rear end runs great and is very fast it has 313 horsepower and gets 14.8 miles to the gallon of gas, I took it to eureka springs arkansas to a car show and I was very proud of how it performed and the gas mileage was great, for a car with four carbs on it and part of the run was in the mountains and in town, car hasn't ever been in a wreck and professionally painted account of fading.
