Description:
My wife has finally given in to the fact that we will never be able to get her "Kitty" fixed where we live. It needs a new engine or at least the current one rebuilt. No one within 200 miles works on Jaguars.
The vehicle has been sitting covered for several years but we need the space.
Exterior is in beautiful shape with a sparkly blue paint job. Interior is all leather and in excellent shape. Previous (original?) owner was a doctor in California who babied the car. For someone with access to tools and lifts, this could be a good investment. I'd rather sell it to someone who appreciates Jaguars than donate it. Or (horrors) junk it.
For sale as is, where is. It will need to be towed.

You might consider contacting older Jag clubs or shops in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Houston and see it they would sell the car on consignment of fix it and sell it on consignment (they may even have an engine laying around).
You just need bigger ponds for cars like this. Good luck.
