Seller's description:

I bought this Jaguar recently to me , I love the MK2 - The serial # indicates it is the 21st car built of the 3.8 MK2 series - Super low number , probably built the first day of production.

I thought it was all original , and in amazing condition... but after getting it home, I think it was originally red. I also can not believe the interior is original - it is in pretty much perfect condition. Seats are not leather, but vinyl/ naugahyde? this car was probably restored in the 1970s.

It was parked in a warehouse since 1982. I have the California 1978 title , I was told it was a one-family car, and the only title transfer was from mother to son.

Car rolls freely. Brand new tires. I have not attempted to start it . I would need to invest another $2000 in cleaning fluids, cleaning tank, rebuilding carbs, ignition, before really trying to run this. I did out battery in it, and engine does turn over with even sounding compression. I stopped there for the moment.

I will keep this car if it does not sell this first round here on ebay. I will invest the time and money, as it is worth it.... I may even covert to 4 speed manual.

Car is BEAUTIFUL.

3.8L / Automatic / non power steering, no AC ... Paint is beautiful but old, scratched, and body damage on drivers side of the car during storage. Is it a good car to buy to make money on .... ? Probably not. Is it a good car if you want a nice MK2 3.8L jag to keep for yourself....? Probably the best.
