Sellers description:
Hello Jag fans,
I got it from an insurance company at auction and don't have any history.
There is a hole in the block and in the pan.
The drivers door glass is included used, also the right rear quarter glass.
the windshield is gone.
The seat frames are usable , the upright sections show "horsehair" beneath the upholstory
The wiring is burned and I tossed it along with some other charcoal in the trash.
I expect the starter is good, also a nice 3 carb intake with 3 possibly rebuildable webers.
The automatic transmission seems okay, the interior is all scorched.
the exhaust system is very good, new looking in fact.
complete car, I do not wish to sell individual parts just yet.
there is a discussion about me and this car on the jaglovers website under burned xke
