This is car for collector or funky player. I had old paint stripped to the metal and redone with complete house of kolor candy paint system . Base cinder red ,top coat pagan gold. All rust issues were removed at the same time including replacement of entire floor with custom made 12 gauge stainless steel panels and new carpets . There is new head gasket and rebuild under 100% supervision borg warner transmission. I changed interiors replacing everything with embossed leather -type western floral color saddle and black plus burgundy basket weave on the back seats . I spent enormous time getting it back in shape not mentioning money sufficient to buy new car . Time to must move on and pass this incredible vehicle to someone who could appreciate owning British made jag and tolerate quirks related to 34 year old car . Runs and drive as it should . All belts ,fluids ,brakes ,hoses,battery are in excellent condition, no oil leaks or smoke . Buy only if you know what does it mean to maintain older cars . Driving experience is very comfortable for casual driver . Engine has no governor and spins up to 6000 RPM . Tires have 95 % life left - Goodyear tripletread specially selected for hydroplaning resistance and ice, snow traction. Whoever is interested in this car will get excellent deal considering I'm selling it for less than 1/3 of the value on insurance policy . These cars are very rare today in condition above junk .Typical situation are rusted through floor panels hidden under underbody coating - you won't find anything like that in my car . I recommend American Collectors Insurance - coverage similar or better than good new car policy at 160$ per year feel free to ask for more questions, , I have some flexibility regarding selling price. I really feel sorry that car so nice is sitting idle for years , buy it and you'll have excellent toy to play over the weekend or daily driver -head turner BTW I'm getting some weird questions -let me answer : yes- you can install Chevrolet V8 engine and Chevrolet transmission but what for? Get yourself Chevrolet car ! I could never understood rationale behind these modifications . Again car must go , it will be listed for another month
