FOR SALE IS A 1971 JAGUAR XKE V12 2+2 COUPE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND AIR CONDITIONING. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBER MOTOR AND CHASIS. THE SECOND OWNER HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 35 YEARS, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED KEPT IN MARIN COUNTY AND SAN FRANCISCO AND IS VIRTUALLY RUST FREE. THE BODY AND INTERIOR ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE AND THE PAINT WOULD CLEAN UP VERY NICELY WITH A BUFF AND WAX BUT WOULD NEED TO BE REPAINTED TO BE IN SHOW CONDITION. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SECOND OWNER AFTER NOT BEING STARTED THE LAST 12 YEARS. IT WAS RUNNING AND DRIVING WHEN PARKED. I WAS QUITE OPTIMISTIC THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT RUNNING QUICKLY BUT THE MOTOR APPEARS TO BE SEIZED SO I HAVE DECIDED TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE THAT REALLY WANTS TO RESTORE IT. THE PICTURES TAKEN ON THE STREET IN SAN FRANCISCO WERE TAKEN THE DAY I PICKED IT UP. THE FUEL PUMP HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING BUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS WORKING FINE AND THE ORIGINAL WIRE WHEELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE BUMPERS AND CHROME ARE VERY NICE. THE CAR COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUAL AND KNOCK OFF TOOLS FOR THE WHEELS. I HAVE ALREADY SENT OUT BOTH AIR CLEANER BOXES TO BE POWDER COATED IN THE ORIGINAL COLOR AND ALSO THE TWO WATER TUBES THAT CONNECT TO THE RADIATOR. PLEASE CALL WITH QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS FOR MORE PICTURES. 208-640-3246 THE CAR IS PRESENTLY IN VALLEJO CALIFORNIA FOR PICK UP. PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH MY PAYMENT METHODS AND HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT WITH IN 5 DAYS OF THE AUCTION CLOSE. THANKYOU
