Here is a very original car. Was bought by prior owner in 1974. I have all his service records and maintenance records to prove mileage is correct at 70K. Clear title is still in prior owners name with no blemishes, properly signed, and VIN numbers match. Original owners manual and tool kit. Original keys. Jack intact. The car has very little rust for a jag of it's age.The car sat for years after the owners bought a new car back in the late 80s.The tea trays are functional and are in nice shape. The headliner has no tears the visors and mirror are very nice. All the wood is uncracked with no water damaged. No delaminating. Refinishing may just require light sanding and varnish. There are speaker holes in the door panel for a pioneer system that is no longer there so the original radio block-off plate which was still with the car is shown.The original gear shift knob is broken and in pieces and as such a rubber ball takes it's place. The car still smells like an old british car full of wood wool and leather. The engine turns and starts and runs when given fuel but the carbs are leaking and should be rebuilt. Seems to be in good health but was not run long enough to verify cooling system or other ancillary functions. Although a bit grimy the engine bay is in good original order and it looks like under the grease the valve covers and other polished bits will shine up nice - no oxidation.Battery area solid. No battery.The parking brake works fine but the brake system does not either needing a bleed or master cylinder rebuild. These cars were infamous for loosing brakes while sitting. Tires are vintage Pirelli whitewalls! The tread is still good. No obvious cracking. Hubcaps in the car.All glass is good and all windows function.There is a dent on the front right fender under the headlight and shallow scrape on the rear tail/skirt area. Both will NOT require any panel replacement. Also there a re a few shallow impressions in the roof - hard to photograph - I tried a shot in raking light. See pics. The passenger side rear jack point is the worst rust damage I could find. Looks to have been torn from the mount. All other jack points are solid with the rubber plugs intact. It had some repair to the front lower fenders behind the wheel back in 1979 per included receipts to and it is showing some bubbling again under the paint. I took a magnet to the car and verified the lower fender area mentioned as having some filler. Rockers are very nice. Otherwise the frame and floor are rust free. Being in colorado and new mexico since 1974 has saved this car from a lot of moisture damage and rust. A great starting point. The air cleaner is in the trunk as it was not replaced after getting the car running. A solid car with solid history that could be a drive with minimal work. A huge support base online and available parts make this a great candidate. With minty ones fetching big money these days you have room spend on this car before being upside down. Since car is not currently drivable your shipper will have to be made aware of this. I'm happy to work with you on shipping or help load it on your trailer. Santa Fe is a nice destination should you wish to come pick-up in person. However, full payment is due within 7 days of auction close and all sales are final so please study pictures and I will try and answer all questions. It is a project car and sold as-is where is.

I could not see beyond the grime on the engine block to verify that it matches, however, there is no indication on teh service records aside from a valve adjustment that anything was done to the engine or motor so I suspect it all matches.On May-21-15 at 11:51:28 PDT, seller added the following information: The bungee cord seen in some underside pictures is holding my waterproof car cover on - keeps the wind from blowing it off. On May-22-15 at 16:53:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Lots of questions on paint, interior and matching numbers - this is the original color combination - they are only original once. A very nice unmolested and well maintained (until parked) car.
