Would you post the maintenance records, or a line-item summary of them? How long have you owned the car, and do you have the history prior to your ownership?

Can you add any more photos? What maintenance might you anticipate would be needed in the next 1-2 years?

Thank you,

 

I have owned the car for 7 years. I have very little history prior to my ownership; the car was dealer maintained for many years but they would not tell me any specifics.

If anyone wants photos of certain areas please post a request with a list.

Sorry, I forgot to add in the $ for the gearbox rebuild so the total maintenance over 7 years was more like $18,000

 

I have watched many of Garys videos. He is the best. I remember watching the Jeffs transmission one. I spoke to Gary on the phone once about a trans problem i had and how the fix was new coils. He said he had never heard of that but when i explained what happened he understood and would keep info in his head. Wish i were closer to you

 

JCalhoun, what photos do you have of the front? And would you post any photos of flaws in the finish of the vehicle? 7 years of owning this Jaguar, what is your ownership history of Jaguars prior to this? What are your reasons for selling?
Thank you, Doc

 

See attached photos of front of car and the 3 flawed areas of paint (a scratched area on the hood that can be covered by a nickel, a 2 inch long series of scratches on the c-pillar , and scratches on the rear bumper) In addition, there is one barely visible ding in the center of the roof and one on the right side of the hood. My reason for putting the car up for sale is my retirement from a 40 year career as a mechanical engineer designing mechatronic lab equipment. I will be performing many volunteer roles and travelling a great deal and it will become difficult to keep the car in the condition I have brought it to.
