Vehicle description
Here we have a beautiful Jaguar with a small block Chevy that looks fantastic and drives just as well. It has an Edelbrock intake and carb so is probably good for about 180bhp. This is one of the last SWB cars and was also the swansong of Sir William Lyons. It drives really well and at 50mph in OD it is turning at 1200rpm. An engineer friend told me to leave it in direct top unless I was on the freeway to cut down on unnecessary down shifts. Good advice. Unlike many conversions all the original gauges have been converted to work with the current set up so there are no ugly add on aftermarket gauges. Also note it has the original style curved exhaust tips. Many conversions do not. A real sleeper.
Previous owner told me that the rear end was completely rebuilt at a cost of several thousand dollars. It certainly looks and runs like it was. New battery and rear tires. The AC blows and the fan kicks in but it does not blow cold enough. Compressor looks newish though. It also has something called Bluetooth, whatever that is. .
The interior is gorgeous except for the rear pillar headliner is scruffy, but it comes with some extra material to fix it. Electric windows work very smoothly. The paint is a quite rare Bermuda Blue which suits the car well.
For some reason it comes with a salvage title and none of the last 2 owners knew why. Probably stolen/recovered or a minor fender bender causing it to be totaled when it was of little value. Just letting you know.
Call Gary 480 323 0855. I do not text. This an awesome car and I would not hesitate to drive it across country. And I never say that about old cars! For some reason it did not post a question that buyer asked, so I have cut and pasted it. Deposit is non-refundable.
Q. I have a 44 mile commute to work - could I drive this every day? Is it OK in traffic? Thanks Sep-14, 2019 A. No question. I recently retired but before that I was working 3 days a week. My commute was about half yours but it did it easily. In fact, the electric fan hardly ever came on and I live in Arizona! Another one: Q. Hello Is it rustfree? First paint and what is the condition of the paint? Regards, Joost Sep-15, 2019 A. Previous owner said it was re-painted once. There is no rust and the paint is very shiny and presentable. Thanks
