LOL.  Reminds me of the Laurel and Hardy film where they bid on a
grandfather clock as a favor to another bidder.  The two ended up competing
against each other, running the price to $300.  Naturally, the guy never
returned so they were stuck with the clock.  Anyone remember the title of
that film?

I’m not going to provide an accounting at this point as I don’t know what it 
would be. I have a round number in mind, which would be within about 15%-20% 
below what I believe to be market price on this car. To be honest, if I broke 
even I would be happy, as the things I’ve learned working on this car have been 
invaluable and will help immensely in future acquisitions as far as 
understanding what will be required to make another car right, if necessary.

The Finny project seemed like quite a fun and rewarding project! It was quite 
enjoyable to follow along as it progressed. How much would you value your total 
with purchase price, parts and time to improve it to present condition? I get 
the same enjoyment in my RC car hobby with building up projects to running 
condition and selling them and using the funds to build another. 
Good luck with the sale, and also finding your next one!!

I planned on restoring this as best as possible and if the market permitted, 
leverage it to find one in better condition.

The market permits. I’ll see if I can get BaT money for it then go looking for 
another, better example.

Looks like it. Ford bought into Jag in 1989 and didn’t divest until 2009.

Re: [MBZ] This is Sort of Tempting

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I think this is one that was built during the Ford ownership. My brother had 
one from about this time frame, and it was amazingly reliable for a Jaguar.

I gave him a lot of crap about buying it, but pretty much ended up eating my 
words as I don’t recall him ever having issues with it. I’ve got to call him 
tonight, so i’ll try and remember to ask him about it.

The finnie gets finished today. I’m preparing to go out to the garage this 
morning and install the refinished wood trim on the left side door cards, and 
that’s it. I’m planning on driving it to work some time this coming week to 
take some beauty shots of it in front of a local theater downtown, then it will 
get submitted to BaT.

I know someone who has a car in to BaT right now, and they’re saying they have 
a two week lead time for auctions. That’s a heck of a backlog, considering 
they’re doing far more than 15-20 cars a day.

Re: [MBZ] This is Sort of Tempting

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Reminds me of an experience.

Some years ago when this model first came out, I rented one at Budget, 
they had high-end cars and if you were some kind of preferred member you 
could rent them.  I had to go to our DC office to clean out the office 
of a guy I had worked with, he was actually something of a friend, whom 
I got fired after finding out he was actually working with another 
company against our interests.  It was a nasty day, and my mood matched 
it.  I got in that car at DCA though, it was cranberry with a biscuit 
interior, all leather, that thing was gorgeous and smelled soo good. 
Car had delivery miles on it, was brand new.  After dealing with the 
matter in the office, I decided to head out and just drive through the 
Virginia countryside.  I probably drove around for 2-3hours just 
decompressing from the bad experience, just cruising back country roads. 
It was like a bit of heaven, some nice tunes on the stereo, the car 
smell, the ride and handling, and it as getting a lot of looks too it 
was so pretty.


Go for it!
