Make someone's holiday extra special this year. I removed this from eBay Friday because I had so many interested people concerned about the rear brakes being locked up. Saturday I had a mechanic come by and free up the brakes. See the video below. This is a project car I picked up 7 years ago to restore. Time, work and procrastination have caught up with me and now, so I'm selling my all-time favorite car. The 1967 Jaguar 2+2. According to Paul Skilleter, one of the last true Series 1 XKEs. The 459th 2+2 left hand drive in 1967 to be more precise. The "BW" on the end of the body number indicates that it is factory equipped wit a Borg-Warner automatic transmission. This car has all the typical earmarks of the Series 1. Three SU carbs, three wipers, the old style "flipper" toggles, the covered headlights and the stylish Jaguar small tail and parking lights. All the pre Ralph Nader amenities. It is by no means in "restored" condition but as far as I know, has always been garage kept. The interior needs re-doing - mostly the front seats - as does the dash top pad. I am including a new top pad in this auction. The marker and tail lights have new lenses and one tail light has a new bezel. The engine RUNS! As a matter of fact, it runs well. When started the exhaust shows no smoke (see video). The mileage shown is 56186 but the title shows 74179. I am not sure what that means, but the last 40 miles or so were put on by me before I put it in the garage in 2003. I since start it occasionally to keep the juices flowing, but never drove it after that except to pull it out to take some pictures and clean out the garage. Could be an everyday driver with some routine maintenance. As far as I know, everything on the car is original and has a clear Virginia title. The paint is checked - typical with older lacquer paint. It has minimal rust and has had some bodywork in the past. The passenger door has a rust through spot as does the passenger rear quarter panel. Easily fixed. I re-skinned the driver door myself in 2003. I am also including new exhaust silencers. As you can see by the photos, I had this car on the road in 2003 briefly before it was put away. I drove it into the garage, and drove it out. Now, with the rear brakes locked up it will need to have the rear wheels dollied to get it onto a rollback. The wheels including spare are the original Jaguar knock-off-type spoked spinners. The gas tank has been re-lined and the fuel is clean. I am including a few extra parts as mentioned above plus a few more simple parts. I had the chrome strip for the driver's door when I re-skinned it, but haven't been able to find it. I am starting the bid at $9,500.00 which is well below any Series1 I've seen in this shape. This auction is absolute - no reserve - the highest bidder gets it. As the car is a used collector's item, there is no warranty and no returns. The car is available for pick up only. I will not ship and it is up to the winner to make arrangements to move. Please - SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! There will be a $500.00 deposit due within 48 hours of the sale. The car is for sale to ANYONE - ANYWHERE as long as the above stipulations are met. Payment in full and pick-up needs to occur within 7 days of final sale. I reserve the right to end this auction early. Car does not move without full payment. I'm sure there are questions. Feel free to email and I'll get back to you as soon as I read your inquiry. As I get questions, I will amend this description.
