Sellers description:
1967 3.4 JAGUAR MKII SEDAN WITH AUTOMATIC AND RIGHT HAND DRIVE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL POWERTRAIN COMBINATION, HOWEVER I CANNOT GUARANTEE AUTHENTICITY OR MATCHING NUMBERS. IT IS BEING OFFERED FOR ONE REASON ONLY...I HAVETOO MANY TOYS AND TOO LITTLE ROOM.

I'LL SHARE THE PROVENANCE AS BEST I CAN: ACCORDING TO THE REGISTRATION (LICENSE) PLATE, THE CAR WAS ORGINALLY SOLD IN 1967 IN WIMBLETON, ENGLAND AND SOMETIME LATER IMPORTED TO CANADA. THEN IN 1989 IT WAS PURCHASED AND IMPORTED TO THE US BY THE FORMER OWNER WHO WAS IN THE US MILITARY . I WAS TOLD BY HIS WIDOW THAT THE CAR WAS HIS PRIDE AND JOY AND HE TENDED TO IT METICUOUSLY UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 2009. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HIS ESTATE AND I HAVE THE ORIGINAL,1989 ISSUED TITLE IN MY POSSESSION. AND WHILE NOT A PERFECT VEHICLE, IT CERTAINLY IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT I CONSIDER THE MOST BEAUTIFUL 4 DR. JAGUAR EVER PRODUCED.

I'VE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE, IT SEEMS TO RUN, DRIVE AND STOP FINE. I THINK THE BRAKES MAY NEED SOME ATTENTION BEFORE IT'D FEEL COMFORFTABLE USING IT AS AN EVERYDAY DRIVER. THE PAINT IS DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL WITH A FEW MINOR FLAWS. BARRING A FULL INTERIOR RESTORATION, YOU'LL LIKELY NOT FIND A NICER INTERIOR IN A NON-RESTORED CAR ANYWHERE. THE SEATS LOOK, FEEL, SMELL AND HAVE THE PATINA OF LEATHER, I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE LEATHER.

AS FAR AS I CAN TELLTHE WOOD IS UNTOUCHED FROM ORIGINAL AND WOULD CLASSIFY IT AS GOOD +. THE GLASS IS UNCRACKED AND CLEAR ALL AROUND AND THE CHROME IS FAIR TO GOOD. THE TRUNK IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE SPARE TIRE, JACK AND ASSORTED HARDWARE IS INCLUDED. THE ODOMETER READS 0916 AND THE TITLE SAYS N/A UNDER THE MILEAGE CATEGORY.

ALTHOUGH I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON THE CAR, IT APPEARS TO BE 99.9% ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE, MY ONLY CONCERNS BEING THE WHEEL CENTER CAPS AND THE STEERING WHEEL. BUT AGAIN, I'M NOT AN EXPERT SO PLEASE EXAMINE THE PICS CLOSELY AND MAKE YOUR OWN DETERMINATION.
