    Sellers description:
    1963 JAGUAR MK II with a 3.4 liter inline six. This car has been sitting for about 15 years. Most of that time it was garaged although it did spend some time outside for at least a year. (Currently it's garaged)

    The car was running about three years ago and should crank with fresh gas and a little effort. It should be completely original. (The dash board has a wood-effect looking paper over the original wood. (see pictures) As far as we know, the original wood is fine but will need to be refinished as would be normal.

    The car needs a complete restoration. As far as we can tell, there is only normal wear items as the ball joints will need to be replaced, brakes overhauled, etc. It will need new paint. The interior is in very good shape. The leather seats are in very good shape . The exception is the top area along the back seat, where there is sun exposure, the leather has schrunk and the seams have popped.

    There is minimal rust, some normal rust bubbles along the rockers and lower portions of the body.

    The rear bumper is unattached but is included.

    The shift linkage for the the transmission has been disconnected as it was frozen.

    The car is complete. This car is obviously sold as is with the understanding that it is a project in need of reconditioning.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
