Opening bid US $2,000 reserve not met no bids 6 days left in auction. 103k miles.

Sellers description:
I've owned this car for over 8 years, and have invested considerable amounts of time and money in an effort to restore it to its original glory. Like all Jaguars of this time period, once the engine is warm, it runs great. It's been driven about 5,000 miles since being completely gone through. Work done includes: New interior (although there is a wear spot on the driver's seat). Interior upgrades include a burled walnut dash insert and shift lever knob along with a Nardi wood steering wheel. New aluminum radiator and modern style cooling fan. New main engine wiring harness, Optima Battery, New EBC pads and rotors in the front. New OEM pads and rotors in the rear. New Spax adjustable shock and springs in the rear. New exhaust. Original Stromberg carburetors replaced with new upgraded SU carbs with foam element air filters. Upgraded Panasonic AM/FM Cassette with 6 CD Changer. The previous owner had just replaced the wire wheels prior to my purchasing the car. They are in excellent shape.

Now the bad. The engine has a substantial oil leak. I suspect the rear main oil seal needs to be replaced. This can be done without removing the engine. I have detailed instructions that I'll pass along. The Speedometer and Tachometer don't work. The paint job looks great from a distance. Upon closer inspection, there are scratches, scrapes, poor touch ups, and 2 areas where body filler has cracked and chipped. The previous owner had both front floor pans replaced, and the body shop did not respect the car and thoroughly botched the installation, however they are water tight,

Due to illness in the family, and other personal issues, I am forced to sell the car as is. With a little bit of work, it can be a great daily driver.
