Even the air conditioning works great. The owner has her full history and believes there are only eight like her in good condition in Oz. What is she worth? Hard to say, but she is not for sale. A lovely old thing.

Beautiful. My brother has the near identical Mark 10. Built like tanks. At 100 mile per hour (mile) it's like standing still.

Cheers

I have never been a fan of the appearance of the Mk 10 - they always appeared 'bloated' to me. Earlier models were better looking, particularly the Mk VIII.

This is my brothers Mk7 JaguarMK7.jpg

And this was his beautiful concourse winning Mk2 that a drunk , unlicensed & uninsured driver ran into.MK2.jpgMK2A.jpg

We are hopping to start rebuilding the Mk2 this year using another body shell.

To put it in perspective ... an old Citroen DS has always had very little monetry value ... but a DS in that sort of condition would be in the 20->$65,000 range depending on model and type.

Mechanic should be shot, he put the muffler on the wrong end .

Wow ..is there anything usable on the Mk2 left. That was a bloody enormous hit!

These are pretty sexy too.

An Austin Seven maybe (??). Looks like one I've been admiring that a mate owns.
