Sellers description:
This 1959 Jaguar Mark Nine is a good original car that could use a bit of TLC and some minor freshening up.

Runs and drives well, this car recently came out of storage but starts instantly and idles smoothly.

Painted a nice shade of pearl white a few years ago, it has only a few minor dings and scratches. However, the chrome trim for the sides and trunk lid are missing, and there are very minor rust bubbles beginning to form on both left side door bottoms.

Inside, the leather upholstery has been replaced with naugahyde which is in good condition as well as durable and maintanence free. The clear varnish on the dashboard is beginning to fade, and the carpets could use a careful cleaning. The headliner is original and looks nice. 120k miles.

Mechanically, it runs good, but if you accelerate too quickly the carbs will flood and begin to cough and the car will bog down. The steering also has some play in it which should be looked at, and the brakes could use some adjustment.
