However, to be a great touring sedan it needs a lot I suspect in the way of suspension bushings and lots of other parts of that nature. Great car, but not worth putting 2-3 grand in refurbishing.

Did I mention that this is the best riding car that will handle well that I've ever owned? Yes, they are hard to let go. But in today's market the $440 I have been offered at the salvage place seems a lot easier than selling. I had it up FS a couple months ago on FBMP and that was such a CF that I will never ever advertise on FB again. The kind of people that respond to something like this must all live in Barstow CA. You don't want to be in Barstow for any reason.


I was looking for $500 and that alone brings out the worst dregs of society. For 500 it is a great project for the cognoscenti. You don't find that caliber on FB apparently.

So when I can cut the ties, I will drive it to the bone yard.

Have you thought about posting it on a Jaguar enthusiast forum? Should be way less flakes, and maybe you’ll find someone willing to give the old girl new life? When I had Jags, I preferred Jag-Lovers but there are others out there.
