I purchased this car from an estate, and have registered it for sale purposes only, as I am not a dealer and by law cannot "flip" the title over to someone else without legally registering it. There was only one prior owner, and the car has verified 39,690 miles. I have a copy of the original title which shows the car was previously owned by the now deceased Edith H. Schaad of South River, New Jersey. I will describe the car 100% honestly as I value my feedback on eBay, as well as it being the right way to do things. EXTERIOR: Absolutely incredible excellent shiny blue metallic paint. There is no rust, cracking, chipping, checking, loss of clear coat, etc. It shows this car was garaged and babied it's whole life - the body and paint exterior looks like the day it rolled off the assembly line. Chrome and badges are excellent and shiny. Glass is clear and chip & crack free, moldings and rubber are excellent. Dual gasoline tank fillers are excellent and shiny. Underside is clean and extremely very minor surface rust. Exhaust system is a dual one and in excellent condition. INTERIOR: Leather buttercream interior in excellent condition. The headliner is perfect (a rarity on British cars!). This alone tells me the car was always garaged and not subject to extreme heat, humidity, etc. On the front passenger side there are three small cracks in the leather, they are on the creases and are not rips. The dashboard, steering wheel, console, shifter, door panels, rugs, wood, etc. are excellent. There is no evidence of it ever being smoked in. Trunk is clean and rust free with a fifth matching spare tire. Also includes the rare original tools in the original tool pouch! ELECTRICAL: All power windows, door locks, headlights, turn signals, rear defroster, brake lights, parking lights, driver's side power seat, windshield wipers, etc. work. The only electrical items that are not functioning are the driver's side power mirror (the passenger side power window works, but they are both in the same housing); the power antenna does not go up or down, and the radio turns on, but does not get any stations as the antennae won't go up. But there is power to the unit. All gauges on the dashboard work. The clock does not work. MECHANICAL: Transmission shifts smooth, and the engine purrs. It runs strong and powerful. The AC works, but is not 100% cold, so it will need a recharge. I found paperwork to show that the car has a new fuel filter (Purolater), fuel pump (Bosch) and all new shocks (Bosch). There are six shocks on this car, two in the front and four in the rear. All of this work was done within the last year. This car is like a step back in time with it's pristine condition and extremely low mileage. It needs to be, like all British born Jaguars, driven on a regular basis and enjoyed. Please do not e-mail me with the reserve - it will go to the highest bidder to be fair - also the auction cannot be ended early for any offers other than a "Buy it Now." Good luck bidding and thank you for your interest! LEGAL: This car is sold as is, where is with no guarantees or warranties of any kind. The condition described is accurate to the best of my ability, as I am not a mechanic. It is a description based on general observations. Please do not bid on this car unless you are able to pay. I do not offer financing, as I am not a dealer. No bids accepted from bidders with five or less positive eBay feedbacks, or from bidders with more that two negatives; if you have these issues your bids will be cancelled. Payment in full with three days (72 hours) of the end of the auction. I will do my best to help with your shipping arrangements, but shipping arrangements and payment are the responsibility of the buyer. All requests to view the car in person must be before the auction ends. Once the auction has ended, if you are the winner you have bought the vehicle and there will be no "inspections to see if I'll buy it" after the auction ends. Payment is by certified bank check only - no other forms of payment accepted. The car will be released when the certified bank check clears my account. If you do not like any of the terms of this auction, then please do not bid. Sorry for all the legal mumbo jumbo but as usual a few ruin the eBay process for the many. Thank you very much for your understanding. NO BIDS ACCEPTED FROM ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS. YOUR BIDS WILL BE CANCELLED, AND YOU WILL BE BLOCKED FOM FUTURE BIDDING. THE AUCTION WILL RUN IT'S COURSE.

THE FEW SCAMMERS & CHEATERS TRY TO RUIN IT FOR THE MANY MANY DECENT PEOPLE OUT HERE!

On Aug-28-10 at 19:45:51 PDT, seller added the following information: In response to the many questions: 1. The carpets are the originals the best I can tell. They are wool (a Jaguar standard back then) and still have that wool scent. They are in excellent condition. The heel pad on the carpet is excellent, as is the brake pedal. 2. The car rides solid and tight, like a rolling living room. These were heavy cars. 3. I have changed the transmission and engine oil prior to the auction. 4. The tires have about 95% left on them. 5. The dashboard is excellent, no cracks. 6. Car has dual fuel tanks. A switch on the dash switches over from a low tank to a fuller tank for long cruising without stopping. Remember, Jaguar owners do NOT like to be inconvenienced! 7. The pans are original, never repaired, and excellent. This car was babied. 8. Why am I selling? I had gone to an estate sale to buy a grandfather clock. When I saw this car, I fell in love with it. I purchased her a year ago. In that time, I put on about one hundred fifty miles. However, I do not have the time to drive her as she should be driven, having to put in long hours, including some weekends, at work. 9. No smoke from dual exhaust system. After I bought this car, I drained both gas tanks and put fresh fuel in them. 10. Windshield wipers, yes believe it or not, are still the original Jaguar wiper blades! 11. The engine has been detailed since the auction started. The pictures on the auction were pre-detail. 12. Yes, the car has cruise control and an adjustable steering wheel column. Good luck and thank you for your interest!
