Sellers description:
1963 Jaguar 3.8 MK 11 .

The best way to describe her is to say she is a good running and driving car , it is an older car though so dont expect to race around .

She fires right up and if I leave her for a week or 2 all I do is turn the ignition key on let the fuel pump prime for approx 3 to 4 seconds and then crank and she allways fires on the second or third try , without touching the accelerator pedal and the oil pressure then comes right up

When driving everything works as it should , she shifts well , has disc brakes all round and stops well without pulling to any side . The power steering works well , gauges, exterior and interior lights, the only thing that does not work is the tachometer and I have not looked to see why .

The tyres are in good condition .

She is an older restoration and does need a fresh coat of paint in my opinion , there is some fading and damage to the paint on the roof and on the gray areas forward the paint has flaked in a few small areas .

In saying this , you can jump in and enjoy her as is and fix the smaller things later or do it now .

This is an older car so I would not expect to jump in and drive cross country , it does run and drive well , the longest trip I have undertaken in 1 shot was approx 80 miles and she did just fine .

The interior has been reupholstered but is dirty , I would remove the seats have the fabric cleaned and then reinstall them .
