Sellers description:
This is a 1968 Jaguar Coupe Series 1 1/2 (Not a 2+2) in dire need of restoration. It belongs to my neighbor who is now in a nursing home. He has asked me to sell the car for him. It has been stored in his barn for the last 23 years having last been on the road in 1991. He started to restore it about 8 years ago and gave up. I don't know very much about the car but I pushed it down to my house and have been tinkering around with it. It appears that all the chrome is there and in pretty good shape. Interior is good, not show but good. Seats show some wear with a couple of small holes but in good condition. Fuel pump is broken but with the help of a friend spraying starting fluid had the motor running for 20 or 30 seconds.

Glass is all good except windshield has a couple of stone chips. Rust around rear wheel wells and door sills. Floor pans patched.

The only thing I can see missing is the A/C condenser and half of one of the bonnet hinges.

Interior has a bad odor. Mouse urine?

Hopefully the pictures tell it all.

I'm working on the bad odor. It's much better than when I first brought the car to my house. Windows down and trying to air it out.

Have both door panels and trim which are in good condition.
