Sellers description:
Jaguar Mark IX with almost everything needed for restoration of a classic show car. Exterior body is in very good condition while the interior needs upholstery, carpet kit, headliner and wood refinishing. The engine will need to be rebuilt, however it is completely original. I have the torpedo air/oil cleaner and read window glass. Regarding the engine in need of rebuilding. This was based on the fact that it has sat for many years and I am sure the seals need replacement. As far as the condition of the engine; I have pulled all 6 plugs and other than being a little rich the last time it ran they are all clean. I also checked the oil and do not see any contaminants. I checked under the oil filler cap and can see that there is no sludge buildup and what I can see of the one cam it all looks good. Lastly I was able to turn the engine over by hand at the dampener bolt and it turns freely. So based on all of this information I believe the engine ran fine with no issues the last time it ran.
