VERY RARE 1960 JAG MK IX SALOON. THIS IS A FRESH BARN FIND. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS RUNNING WHEN PARKED IN METAL BUILDING IN 1989. ALL NEW EXHAUST WAS INSTALLED JUST BEFORE CAR WAS PARKED. THIS WAS GOING TO BE A RESTORATION PROJECT. HOWEVER PLANS CHANGED WHEN THE OWNER BECAME ILL AND PASSED AWAY. THE CAR REMAINED IN THE BUILDING UNTIL I PURCHASED IT FROM THE ESTATE THIS MONTH. I PUT A BATTERY IN AND IT TURNED OVER FINE WITH NO ENGINE NOISE. OIL IS VERY CLEAN, LOOKS LIKE NEW. I BELIEVE IF YOU PUT GAS IN THE CAR & WITH A LITTLE TINKERING THE CAR WILL RUN. THIS IS A VERY RARE MODEL WITH RIGHT HAND DRIVE, 4 SPEED ON THE FLOOR WITH OVERDRIVE. THE ENGINE IS THE 3.8 IN LINE SIX CYLINDER WITH DUAL OVERHEAD CAMS & DUAL SU CARBS. THE BLACK PORCELAIN EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE IN VERY NICE CONDITION. THIS CAR IS EQUIPTED WITH 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES, POWER STEERING WITH TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL, WHICH IS IN GREAT SHAPE INCLUDING THE JAG HORH BUTTON. CAR ALSO HAS A MANUEL SUN ROOF WHICH WAS A BIT STICKY SO I HAVE NOT TRIED TO OPEN. THE DOORS, HOOD & TRUNK ALL OPEN AND CLOSE LIKE NEW. ALL BODY LINES ARE NICE & STRAIGHT WITH NO SAGS ANYWHERE. ALL GLASS LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD CONDITION. THE SEAL AROUND THE REAR GLASS HAS HARDENED OVER TIME AND HAS CAUSED THE REAR GLASS TO POP OUT AT THE EDGE. THE CAR LOOKS TO BE COMPLETE FROM FRONT TO BACK. SOME OF THE INTERIOR & WOOD DASH PARTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND ARE IN THE TRUNK ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL LUCAS FOG LIGHTS, GAS TANK LIDS & EXTRA GAS TANK. THE CARPET HAS BEEN REMOVED AND DISCARDED. THE SEATS LOOK FINE, HOWEVER THE FRONT BUCKETS WILL NEED NEW LEATHER. THE BACK OF THE BUCKET SEATS BOTH HAVE FOLD OUT WALNUT WOOD PICNIC TABLES, ANOTHER REALLY COOL FEATURE FROM JAGUAR. FLOORS LOOK FINE WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF MINOR RUST SPOTS NEEDING ATTENTION. TRUNK LOOKS FINE. THE ONLY RUST THAT I HAVE SEEN IS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS & ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR BELOW DOORS & REAR BUMPER. THIS SHOULD BE A VERY EASY RESTORATION PROJECT. I BELIEVE THE ODOMETER SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 44000 MILES, THE TITLE READS 144000. THE FRONT TIRES ARE VERY OLD 16X650 INCH SEARS ALLSTATE TIRES AND THE REAR TIRES ARE 16X650 MICHELINS MADE IN ENGLAND. ALL ARE WEATHER CRACKED, BUT HOLDING AIR. WHILE LOOKING THRU THE TRUNK TODAY I NOTICED THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF RUST ALONG THE REAR EDGE OF THE SPARE TIRE AREA LOOK AT PICTURES, ASK QUESTIONS & BID ACCORDINGLY. I PREFER CAR TO BE PICKED UP WITHIN 7 DAYS OF AUCTION END, HOWEVER IF MORE TIME IS NEEDED EMAIL ME FOR ARRANGEMENTS AND I AM SURE WE CAN WORK OUT A RESONABLE TIMEFRAME. I WILL HELP YOUR DRIVER LOAD CAR THIS IS A 4000 POUND PROJECT CAR, YOU WILL NEED A FULL SIZE TRAILER OR TRANSPORT. CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY, MAY END AUCTION EARLY & SELL TO HIGH BIDDER OR LOCAL BUYER. HOWEVER, ONCE A BID IS PLACED I WILL NO LONGER OFFER CAR TO BE SOLD LOCALLY. SO PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING & GOOD LUCK BIDDING.
