Named "ONE OF THE 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL VEHICLES EVER BUILT" by Motor Trend Magazine. This elegant coupe is one of only approximately 1800 to ever come to the States. It is easy to see that this beauty has been pampered from day 1. In addition, I had a well known Jaguar dealer fully service the car. Being a perfectionist, I then had an award winning shop set up the car for her next 100,000 miles. To sell a great car like this one, I think you should know the seller somewhat as well. I have had a great love for cars and trucks for over 60 years. Since 1982, I have built, customized, or restored 657 fine cars, trucks and SUV's. I have 6 cars in national museums. A Chevy SSR I built was named BEST IN THE WORLD by the General Motors team that actually designed the car for Chevrolet. I built a series of 25 commemorative vehicles as a tribute to my friend, automotive genius, Don Yenko. I am the only builder ever to have two cars featured in a single issue of Car Restomod Annual. In brief, I love cars and believe in striving for perfection. Please have a look at my website just to give you a better idea as to the car I offer now. yenko-wildfire.net This is a nice Jaguar!!! I wanted the car as close to new as possible. I had them perform all things preventative, including struts, shocks, knock sensors, wheel bearings, brakes, transmission, differential, and a thorough tuneup including plugs and wires. In short, I call it my 84 point inspection and correction of all things mechanical, electrical, functional and safety oriented. After all things were upgraded or completed, I am able to include a 36 month/unlimited mileage warranty through CARS. This Ultra-rare and pampered piece of rolling art has only 98,854 actual miles or less than 6800 miles per year! This car is the final descendant of the legendary E-Type and features Jaguars first use of an incomparable V8 engine with just under 300 HP. The power is there. The handling is exhilirating and in my latest 2400 mile "test drive", I got 24.9 mpg AND that's with my lead foot. The major negative for this vaunted speciman is that it may take up to 10 minutes to fill the gas tank........3 minutes to fill it and 7 minutes to field comments and questions from interested parties. A hoot to drive and ready for the road course or concourse. Lovely piece of road art that you won't pass on the highway like your Corvette, Mercedes or BMW. A very realistic reserve lets you own this wonderful car for well under its true value and its neo-classic increasing value. Glad to answer your inquiries at 814-229-3402 or billrea33@comcast.net The car resides most of the time near Dallas, Tx. Shipping is possible. I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I am advertising the car locally. The first person to see and drive her will definitely be the next owner.On Feb-04-14 at 16:08:03 PST, seller added the following information: CARFAX shows 2 owners. It was delivered in Texas. The first owner took her to Hawaii for nearly 2 years. She was brought back stateside where she returned to the second owner in Texas and averaged only 6,000 miles per year for the next 12 years. The CARFAX mentions a minor accident in 2006, in which there were no structural damages, no airbag deployment and no body panels even repaired. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OWNER WAS SO METICULOUS THAT HE EVEN INSTALLED TWO NEW ASHTRAYS TO SANITIZE THE INTERIOR. QUITE THE AMAZING SPECIMAN!
