    Really nice, all the money though.

    Wonder if he gets it. I know my car isn't even close, but it has been maintained by an equally astute Jaguar specialist...I'd sell if I could get half that. :)

    If You have owned an E, those Videos take you right there............The feel behind the Wheel


    The feel of the gears in motion through the stick is signature stuff, and the pencil sharpener like acceleration could only be one car...

    SOOOO British...He should have the Talbot Mirrors up on the bonnet wings


    How easy it would be to convert to this
    Those Dunlop wheels make it big time!

    Looks like a nice car but new piston rings does not mean "rebuilt" in my book. A Jaguar with over 68K miles on it probably should get new oversize pistons and a reground crankshaft. All the valve guides and valves should be new as well.

    Chroming the cam covers and carb tops is a big minus for me.

    He's asking crazy money but it is red.

    It's a lot, I agree. Red does seem to make people do crazy things - mine is red (not original) and people go nuts over it.

    Funny..... In my book, jaguar navy blue and British racing green are the best colors.
    Red cars should be Italian
    Black.....German
    Blue or white ...American
    And green , british

    Would not ANY ONE of the defects mentioned above drop the car by 1/2 point or more?

    How can incorrect chroming, wrong tires and steering wheel not drop by 2 or 3 points right there?

    How in the word can it be >99.5%?

    Nice car but it looks like an over promise to me.
