This matching-numbers and mostly complete 1958 Mark 1 is a great candidate for a comprehensive restoration. It is a California blue-plate car that has been off the road since 1995, and always kept in the previous owner's Southern California garage. The car is mostly complete, exhibits some repairable minor rust, and will need a full restoration to get back on the road.

Included in the restoration process of the Mark 1: it will be stripped to bare metal, placed on a rotisserie, metal finished, leaded, all body parts fitted to the car and chrome, prepared for primer, sealer, paint, base, clear, color sanded and buffed to a fabulous finish in the purchaser's desired color combination. All systems will be gone through and restored: the fuel, electrical, cooling, and hydraulic system. All components will be rebuilt back to factory specifications, including the engine, transmission, rear end and suspension. The chrome will be re-plated as needed. The car will receive a complete new custom tailored and fit interior in the correct materials by our upholsterers. An mp4 video of the restoration process will accompany the vehicle. Upon completion of the restoration this Jaguar will be a great example to drive, show, and enjoy!
