Equipment
Centerlock wire wheels, Michelin X red line tires, dual mirrors, Moto-Lita woodrim steering wheel, wood dash and window trim, wood shift knob, later cassette stereo.
Condition
Wheel lobes are battered from being been hammered on. Overspray on passenger side door jambs. Lightly pitted window frames. Good newer repaint with cracking at the bottom of the nose. Good chrome. Small gouge in the refinished wood dash, otherwise very good refurbished interior. Crack in right taillight. Restored, but not exquisitely and it was never fully apart.
Market commentary
This car isn't perfect, but it's a great driver, and getting those classic feline Jaguar lines, a silky smooth XK straight-six and about a small forest's worth of wood in the interior for less than 30 grand is a great buy. If you don't count E-Types, classic Jags often make for an overall good value, and this was an even bigger bargain, bought for what was claimed to be the cost of the refurbishment and well under what this level of style, comfort, performance and handling could have been expected to bring.
