This Jaguar was sold recently by means of the high bidder meeting reserve. As these things normally go, the buyer who did not see the car was not able to complete the sale. It's all good and here was the listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171805779470?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649 It seems if this car needed at least 15,000 dollars of welding, paint and interior, but...BUT it was three thousand dollars it would sell. Maybe there is some romance in getting an old heap to sputter to life that is lost on me; an allure that a nice car under the same circumstances just doesn't have. Fuel and brakes are not beyond the reach of a shade tree do it yourself mechanic. Body, paint and leather work, not so much. The homework that was necessary before the purchase of a neglected car that was parked for a reason was often not done and because of these overlooked realities, the cycle repeats and the car is parked again. Have I seen that movie before!
