Car seen on :
www.netvoyager.com/auto/jaguar1.htm
Sold in December 2000 :
This car is an excellent example of the XKE series III V12, and happens to be the 59th V12 Coupe off the assembly line. A lot of work has been put into the car recently and it was shown at the Nov 4th, 2000, Jaguar Club of Houston Concours where it took 2nd place in the JCNA class D4 for daily driven cars. The JCNA judges scored the car a 9.948 out of 10.000 which indicates that the car is considered to be very original and clean. The car is a Maroon-red with camel interior and has an automatic transmission & factory air. The seats have all been re-done, as have the interior door panels. It has a new set of tires and the exhaust system appears to be fairly recent. In the interior everything that is supposed to be there is in fact there, and it is where it is supposed to be, and looking like it is supposed to look, with one exception, which is the radio with built in CD player. Even the AC is the centrally mounted factory unit, and not the right side "Knee Knocker", add-on unit.

Ebay item 2/24/14

Opening bd $14,500 reserve not met, no bids 6 days left in auction. Car now said to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Sellers description:
I used the vehicle as a daily driver from 2002-2006 when it was parked for mechanical rework that was not completed. It has a 5.3 liter V12 with matching numbers to the chassis. The engine can be started with all cylinders operating but does not run well (it appears to have intake vacuum leaks).
Beyond it's incredible appearance and performance when operating, this classic vehicle was famous for some highly unreliable sub-systems such as electrical, carburation, brakes, fluid leaks, overheating, and general mechanical. In an attempt to remedy much of that, this vehicle has had extensive mechanical modifications aimed at improving its performance and reliability.
These modifications include such items as hardened steel fine-threaded inserts (Keencerts) in almost all of the engine's threaded holes mated with stainless steel and alloy socket-head cap bolts. It has been retrofitted with custom intake manifolds accommodating quad Weber 2bbl side draft carburetors and custom built exhaust headers to side pipes. The engine compartment wiring and charging system have been entirely reworked along with the cooling system (added oil cooler), redone cylinder heads with new valves, timing chain and camshafts, redone front and rear suspensions, a new optical ignition system, a totally redesigned Cadillac power braking system, and a high performance fuel delivery system. The drive train was fully functional when the car was last driven.
With the exception of these engine modifications, the car is largely original. Actual mileage is unknown as it was run with a disconnected speedometer so the 85k miles showing is not accurate. There are quite a few spare parts that are included with the car.
