1965 Jaguar Mark X Base 4.2L

Description for Jaguar Other 1965

I am the second owner of the car which I purchased in 1967-68. The original buyer/owner had the car repainted immediately after his purchase to a color he liked. He damaged the driver side rocker panel slightly by scraping it when driving it into an elevator where he stored car on second level of a building. Car has not been on the road since 1980, owever, used to start car up and run it short distances until it stalled about 8-9 years ago. Probably due to bad gas. Never was able to restart but never took the time to find source of problem other than to drain gas and try new gas. Car needs to be repainted, eeds brake lines flushed and disc brakes refurbished, nbsp;probably needs new exhaust since one tail pipe rusted off. Car will need some body work at front and rear lower fender panels which I tried to repair in early 70s. I repaired driver side floor board in early 70s. Car was originally purchased in Pittsburgh and was in PA until 1976 then driven to its current location in VA. Do not know condition of jack points or under carriage. Changed oil after car failed to start and have regularly turned engine over to circulate oil. Starter motor works, eadlights work, nterior lights work, out of 4 power windows work, o not know condition of transmission or radiator. Back seat and front passenger seat are intact without any seam separation. Driver seat has seam separation and tear related to age of leather. Tires date to the 70s. Battery, ires, nd all door gaskets need to be replaced. Don't believe original Blauplunkt radio works. I believe that once engine is restarted that a tappet hold down device will need to be installed.On Aug-26-15 at 12:58:34 PDT, eller added the following information:
