Sellers description:
I purchased this car approx. a year ago, and the owner had just completed a complete restoration. This car is not a numbers matching car, but a great driver that turns heads wherever I take it. I have had this vehicle to Cars & Coffee in Irvine several times, and it always gathers a crowd!

The engine is not original, it is a 4.2 litre from a 1967 Jaguar. Everything else is original as far as I know.

The following is a list of all the things done to this car and I have copies of all receipts for work performed other than paint and upholstery.

ENGINE: HD8 Carbs, valve guides, intake valves, exhaust valves, valve stem seals, valve springs, cam bearings, rod bearings, main bearings, piston pin bushings, timing chain guides, hold down set, piston set .020 over with rings, timing chains, tensioners, crank plug,gasket sets,expansion plugs, oil pump, water pump, crankshaft balanced, head surfaced, valley painted in the original correct avacodo green color, block painted. Front and rear seals were installed, but there is still that "Jaguar" leak from the rear main, although not very bad at all.The engine was assembled by "Motor Works" in San Diego.

Transmission: 4 speed with Laycock DeNormanville overdrive. The trans and o/d were checked and found to be fine.

New clutch, throw out bearing, U joints, motor mounts, 4 new shocks. Exhaust manifolds were redone in black porcelain with brass nuts and washers.New exhaust with non original glass pack mufflers.New SU ffuel, pump with kill switch added.Gas tank and radiator both cleaned and repaired as necessary.Generator has been converted to an alternator.All dash guages function with the exception of the odometer. All 4 brakes have had calipers sleeved and rebuilt with new pads. New whitewall tires, REAL whitewalls! Lucas tribar headlamps.Even the interior lights work! I replaced all of the expensive wind wing rubbers with new from XK's.The tool kit is complete and original. I have many books, photographs, receipts and other memorabilia that may go with the car. Also have a few spares.

There are a few items that still need to be addressed. Heater is not hooked up, washer bottle is not hooked up.I have replaced all the emergency brake cables and have spent hours adjusting, but still cant get it to hold. There are three scratch's on the left side of the car, see pictures. The windows all seem hard to roll up and down.
