I am listing this car for my grandfather. He bought the car in 1982 from the original owner, to this day he's put about 4000 miles on it since he bought it.
This was a nice rust free car to start out with, but in 1999 he decided to do a full restoration, If I remember correctly, there was about 50 or 60 grand spent on the restoration, I'm actually afraid to ask again. Everything was gone through including the engine and drivetrain. anything that needed replaced was, including a bunch of parts that didn't need replacing. In addition there was a custom brake booster installed to get rid of the problematic factory booster, the new setup works wonderfully, and only a purest could tell by looking that its not factory. the original brake components are included with the car.
The exhaust system is all new stainless steel from XK,s The exaust is the earlier version with the four tips instead of two, grandpa liked the look better.
The paint is obviously not a factory color, it is a color change paint that cost 2500 a gallon in 1999, this is a multicolor color change paint, not just a 2 or 3 color paint that is cheaper and more common. Its really pretty impressive.
The only thing that wasn't replaced were the tires, I don't know why they were not replaced other than he liked them and they are still in good condition.
As I said the car was restored in 1999, it hasn't spent a night outside since then, in fact I dont think there are enough miles on it to properly break in the engine.
The car has been sitting but it gets driven at least a couple times a year, usually only around the block, but thats enough to keep everything lubed and working.
The car needs to be cleaned, mainly its just dusty from sitting in the shop, it would be back to show condition with a good detailing and wax job.
There are only 2 things that I can think of that need repair. The tachometer stopped working for some reason, the tach itself may need repair, or it could be a bad connection, I would assume the worst. also the weatherstrip on the drivers door got pinched in the door at some time, its taken on the pinched shape and may need to be replaced.
I don't think there's anything else that needs attention. If you are serious about the car, I can put you in touch with the owner, he can do give you a history of the car. I can also give you any info you need, if I don't know the info you need, I will get it for you.
This car was originally blue, there is a pre restoration picture included with the other pictures. Some of the pictures were taken just after the Restoration, others are current. One picture is a group of photos that were taken during the restoration. let me know if you have any question's about the pictures.
Overall this is a nice car, I'm sure its still in better condition and more reliable than a new one would have been.
Please feel free to ask any questions. If you want to look at the car, its located in Vancouver Washington, just contact me, I will arrange an appointment.
As far as payment goes, a small 300.00 down payment through PayPal will be required to make sure your serious, or something along those lines as discussed with the owner.
A wire transfer or something comparable for the balance will be due before the car leaves. again payment methods can be discussed with the owner.
If you need shipping, I can usually arrange shipping for 1.00 a loaded mile up to 1200 miles, that would get it to southern California or Arizona. beyond much more than 1200 miles you would have to arrange for your own transportation.
I hope I didn't miss anything, Feel free to ask as many questions as you want.

Jay Leno gets reacquainted with the Bertone Pirana
Mon, Mar 16 2015Jay Leno gets all manner of vehicles stopping by his garage – some more rare than others, but this one is an entirely unique creation unearthed from another time. It's the Pirana, a one-off commissioned by a British newspaper in the late Sixties that we actually found listed on eBay a few years back. It was built atop a Jaguar E-Type, but with custom bodywork designed by Marcello Gandini and crafted by Bertone. The result looks like a Maserati Ghibli or Lamborghini Espada of the same era, but actually came out just before either, previewing the Italian exotics that would follow from Gandini's pen and Bertone's carrozzeria. The Pirana is now undergoing a complete restoration to bring it back to the original condition in which it appeared at the 1967 London Motor Show, but before the process is complete, Leno shows us around and takes it out on the open road to relive memories of a relic from a bygone era.
Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.
