This is my project car, although time and money is against me now so I'm considering selling it 75% finished.
It's a 1973 XJ12 Series 1 Short wheel base. One of the rarest of all the XJ range, these cars don't come up for sale very often. JDHT say that Around 4000 were built and only 1500 were the short wheel base. How many left says there are only 4 left running! Since buying the car it's had -
Refurbished wheels and 4 new tyres
New Discs/Pads/Calipers/Hoses/Ball joints/Bushes/Wheel bearings Anti roll links on the front
New Windscreen seals
New Chrome mirrors
Refurbished wooden dashboard
Full engine service plugs/leads/car/arm/hoses/filters lines etc
Battery
Whats to do on it...
Fit exhaust system
Fit new carpets and re fit re-coloured seats
flush fuel system and replace lines
Fit rear discs/pads
Clean it all!
refurbish and fit carbs/manifolds and other ancilliarys
MOT
Not too much to do and the hard work has been done. Bodywork is lovely with the odd chip but no rust and no dents. Looks amazing with all good chome and good vinyl roof.
I've seen mint finished cars go for 11k, but projects don't come up often so I'm struggling to figure what it's worth/what to ask for it!
