I Excellent example of the Mark IV. The pictures tell the story. Older paint job, with a few baubles here and there but an overall nice appearance. Runs great, fires up on first push of starter button after applying some spark advance. Holds 40 pounds oil pressure on idle. Everything works, lights, horn and gauges. Even the side semaphore flippers (trafficators) pop out when the turn signal is turned on. Very impressive. I believe the headlight lenses are from a Rolls Royce, but I have the two cracked originals. The Windshield cranks out okay, but the seal is rough. Sunroof opens and closes nicely. The interior wood is original and the upholstery has been redone. Seat frames and hardware are original. All in excellent condition. Seats are very comfortable with back center armrest. Front seats adjustments work. Wood on doors and dash is excellent for it's age with a few cracks. Headliner is very nice and could be the original. Windows crank up and down easily. Floors are solid, underneath looks good. Frame shows no problems. I did have to recondition the front shock links, but the shocks (front and rear) are in nice operating condition. The car had been stored in a Florida garage for several years and I had to replace the fuel tank (hard to find and pricey) and clean out the lines. Also rebuilt one of the fuel pumps and cleaned and tuned the carbs. The motor was overhauled (as evidenced by new freeze plugs) by a previous owner, but I have no paperwork to show what was done. She runs down the road smoothly with all gears working properly and brakes doing a good job. I have only driven this car short distances around home, so don't know how it would perform on a long distance run. I believe one would just have to be patient. The chrome could use some attention as it is becoming pitted and lacks original luster, but it is all there. Tool box cover has been renewed and looks very nice. I do not have the tools. Actual mileage is unknown. It comes with the original Registration booklet issued in England, paperwork showing how and when it was shipped to the USA, even the Shipper's invoice and name of the ship. An appraisal dating back to 1979 describing the cars condition at the time and work that had been performed. Ownership papers since arriving in the USA (Alabama) and many other documents regarding the genealogy of this car. This paperwork alone attracted us at the time of purchase. Several examples are in the attached photos. I also have the original air cleaner assemblies, Airconditioning/demist unit, extra hub and other parts that belong to this car. The overall condition of this sedan, coupled with the paperwork pedigree, helped me establish the reserve price. It is slightly above that for a condition three, but far less than a condition two. Please call me with specific questions. I will try my best to answer, but my forte really lies with MG's not Jaguar's. Car is priced at Condition three under collectorcarmarket.com/collector-car/prices. Drove her to Leesburg and back yesterday. Lot of fun and had to pose for a lot of pictures. The right hand drive is an attention getter and easy to get used to. I sometimes cancel listings early if there are loads of watchers and no bids. Try contacting me directly by using tropicmg at centurylink net. Ebay might allow this. http://www.collectorcarmarket.com/collector-car/prices Hit Jaguar and 1947
