Vehicle description
This is a 1968 Jaguar Xke. We bought this about six years ago, thinking it"d be a nice project to restore. Unfortunately, health issues and other projects took up all the time, and we just never got around to doing anything much with it. The interior was mostly redone by the previous owner, except for carpet, of which there really isn"t any. Both floor pans need replacement as there are holes, and as you can see from the pictures, the bottom of the doors need work as well. It came with a newer fuel tank, which we installed. The fuel system looks fine except for the carbs, which need a thorough going-thru. It tends to run at a fast idle because the power valves stick and don"t fully seat. Some of the lights and switches don"t work, which I understand is fairly common for a 50 year old Jaguar. The radiator neck was damaged when we received it; I took it off, had it professionally repaired, and reinstalled same. The pictures are fairly self explanatory as to body work needed/restoration. It seems to drive well, and shifts through all the gears cleanly. The clutch is very firm and my guess would be it has very few miles on it. The tachometer works, the speedo does not. All of the glass appears to be in decent shape. Some of the exterior bumper pieces/trim are missing and did not come with the car when I purchased it. I didn"t bother to transfer it into my name, but I do have a valid and notarized title, free of liens. The stamping in the body matches the title. We have a small shop and have worked on any number of vehicles, but sorry to say, I"m not fully knowledgeable about Jaguars. I"m sure I"ve left out details that the seller may need. If you leave a message, I will answer it as soon as possible, and would be happy to speak on the phone as well to answer any questions I can. I will make the car available for any buyer or their representative to inspect fully within reasonable hours (before seven P.M., please). I know these sell for a decent amount, so I"ll make every effort to show the car, and frankly would rather any interested buyer to please make the effort to come see the car for yourself. As you can see from the pics, I do have a lift and can raise the car for further inspection. I will accept wire transfers and cash, and PayPal for the deposit; no money orders, personal checks, Canadian Tire money, and so forth. There is no warranty and I do not accept returns. If you buy the vehicle, please pay and pick it up within seven business days. If you need more time to pick up the car, please arrange that immediately upon close of auction, and I will hold the vehicle up to 21 days free of charge, but I still require full payment within seven business days, minus the non-refundable deposit. Should you fail to pick it up, I will refund your payment minus ten percent, which I will keep as a non-refundable deposit. I do not offer shipping. If you arrange for a shipper, I will make the car ready for transport and assist in the loading. Note: This is a relisting. This car previously sold at auction, but for reasons unknown, the buyer refused to communicate or pay. I did not require a deposit before as I figured since the car is getting paid for in its entirety, what"s the point, but as a result of this, I"m now requiring a $500.00 non-refundable deposit to be made via PayPal within 24 hours of close of auction.
