Market commentary

While the phrase original Lucas batteries would normally send knowledgeable bidders screaming toward the exits, this Jaguar was such a time capsule even a catalog description touting parts made by the notorious British electrics manufacturer couldnt undo this cars charm. As with all time capsule cars, though, the next question is what to do with it. Short of looking at it, any activity will hurt its value and at this price it is one expensive, high maintenance paperweight.
