Sellers description:
THIS CLASSIC JAGUAR HAS BEEN IN A HEATED GARAGE SINCE NEW AND WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM THE 2ND OWNER, WHO HAD THE CAR SINCE 1974! THIS IS A WELL PRESERVED PIECE OF HISTORY, PLATES SAY 1985 WHICH WAS THE LAST TIME IT WAS REGISTERED BUT IT WAS KEPT RUNNING UP UNTIL A COUPLE YEARS AGO. THE CAR NEEDED A RADIATOR AND THE OWNERS HEALTH ISSUES KEPT HIM FROM REPAIRING IT. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT RESTORATION VEHICLE OR DO MINOR WORK AND DRIVE AS A SURVIVOR. THE RADIATOR IS OUT OF THE CAR AS ARE THE FANS, BUT EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED, THE ENGINE RAN GREAT BEFORE RADIATOR ISSUE, AND TURNS OVER FREELY NOW , BUT IS PRESENTLY NOT RUNNING OBVIOUSLY SINCE THE RADIATOR IS OUT. THE BODY ON THIS JAG IS EXCELLENT, HARD TO FIND ANY RUST ON THE CAR, THE TRUNK FLOOR UNDER TIRE WELL IS PERFECT, FLOORS ARE GREAT, THERE IS REALLY NO RUST ON THIS CAR, I FOUND ONE SMALL PATCH OF FIBER GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SILL/FLOOR VERY SMALL PALM SIZE, THE DOORS SHUT GREAT, ALL THE GLASS IS NICE, ITS JUST A HECK OF A NICE SURVIVOR E TYPE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THESE CARS AND THIS ONE IS PROBABLY THE BEST PRESERVED ONE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED. 1971 WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE V-12 AND HAD THE MOST HORSE POWER, THIS WILL MAKE A FINE CLASSIC FOR SOMEONE, I AM HAPPY TO ASSIST WITH OVER SEAS SHIPPING AND CAN HELP A DRIVER LOAD THE CAR. THE ORIGINAL JACK AND SOME TOOLS ARE ALSO INCLUDED, WHAT A FIND!

CAR IS SOLD AS IS FOR RESTORATION
