Current bid $8,600, no reserve, 24 bids 1 day left in auction.

Sellers description:
One-owner vehicle with 30,000 original miles. Power convertible top (new); power ABS brakes (good condition); AC/Heater (works great), heated seats, cruise control, power mirrors, windows, and locks all in good working order. Has original stereo, original owner's manual and factory tool kit and bonnet cover in the boot. New Michelin tires on chrome spoke wheels, newer Optima battery, and the spare wheel and tire have never hit the ground. Paint in very good condition. Professionally serviced by Jaguar mechanics throughout it's life. It has never seen bad weather and has been always garaged. Clean title and odometer is verifiable through the "Free Vehicle History Report from Experian AutoCheck" in this listing.

Here are all of the issues with the vehicle and they are very minor: center wood console has hairline cracks, driver's seat piping strip (not the leather) has minor 2" tear, missing front passenger carpet (can be covered up with floor mat or replaced). Had minor scape by another car in a parking lot and was repaired properly at a very good body shop. Everything else is in great shape for a 22-year old car. All of these items again are minor and easily fixed... and it could easily become a classic show car. It is priced with these issues in mind or it would be priced much higher.

The Jaguar drives like a dream and a real head-turner. Can be put right on the road with confidence.
