Up for sale is our beloved 1966 Jaguar Mark 10 which was one of my dry-day daily drivers until early 2005. I am a long time Jaguar enthusiast and my wife and I have owned and restored over 20 classic Jaguar saloons since the late 1990s on a musician's budget and this particular Mark 10 was my wife's baby. She is great at restoring interiors and wood work and spent weeks on this car when we first acquired it from an older couple in Pennsylvania back in the early 2000s. We had owned 2 other Mark 10's before this one but this one is a Right Hand Drive and is completely solid underneath and in the wheel wells and rocker panels. We also love the Webasto sun roof...when it's open and all the windows are down it's really like being in a large convertible. The Webasto will need some new vinyl material (easily available) but the framework of it is still in perfect working order and it opens all the way back and locks tightly shut as it should...it just needs the actual cover replaced to be water tight (obviously from the picture).My wife completely restored all the wood pieces one by one and we spruced up the interior and had it professionally painted and I did the mechanical work that I am able to do...which is just about anything other than opening up an engine.Here's where the story gets sad. On the way to work one day in early 2005 a piston rod started making some noise so I immediately pulled over and had it towed home. Not being able to do engine work myself other than changing out starters alternators and the like I had it towed to a mechanic that was recommended to me by the local Jaguar Club president. I am seriously tempted to actually mention this mechanic's name because what he did to us was clearly criminal but I'll spare you the details and spare him from anyone local that would recognize his name (we weren't the only people he lied to and screwed over).Sorry about that venting bad memories...anyway on with the story...unfortunately after disassembling the motor having the head partially machined ordering some of the parts to do the job etc. and putting us off for a couple of years he went out of business and disappeared. We had to go through a LOT of hassle to track him down and get the car back but we finally did. It literally took years to catch up with him and get the car back.Since then it's been awaiting funds/time to put the engine back together but my wife and I have finally decided it's just not going to happen. I'm a full time musician my daughter is getting married in the fall bla bla bla...I just can't afford to have it done and like I said I can't assemble engines on my own.Don't let the pictures fool you...this is not a barn find. The first picture is from a Jaguar Association of Central Ohio Concourse event in the mid 2000s. Yes that was a few years ago but it shows how this car presented itself after lots of love and time and not a lot of money. When we bought it the paint and seats looked worse than they do now in the pictures from today. My wife and I were able to make that car into a presentable Driven-Category show car with a $2000 paint job and lots of time and effort working on the wood and seats by hand using inexpensive readily available and period correct materials that are still available. Yes that work will have to be done again but I wanted to include that picture to show what the reward can be. We cherished this car along with a RHD '74 XJ12L that we used to have more than any others that we owned.The one thing we didn't have to do then was assemble the engine and that's why we can't do this job ourselves and are passing it along to someone who can.It still has the rock solid frame rockers and body and every piece of the original car is here ready for reassembly. The head has been partially machined there are lots of new and very expensive engine parts still in the wrappers in the back and front seats and in the trunk (new cam shaft drive shaft etc) and the complete engine gasket kit is still sealed and comes with the car ($400 kit). The original complete transmission is still with the car as well.This is a great project for someone who knows how to assemble an XK engine. By the way this is the same triple carb engine that is in the E-types from the same period if anyone is interested in buying the car just for the engine and trans and maybe fitting the Mark 10 with a different engine...but it would be a shame to split this car up and I'm not interested in parting it out or selling the engine or trans separately. I can certainly understand if someone wants to buy the entire car and then use the engine on an E-Type project but again there is too much of a good thing here to do that in my opinion.A classic enthusiast mechanic can have this car back together and make a presentable driver out of it with time but not a lot of money because the parts are all here. Tires are still in good shape and the car can easily be towed and shipped anywhere in the world. I have shipped cars all over the world over the years...even a non-rolling Jaguar Mark 2 to Iceland one time! I would be happy to coordinate very affordable shipping of this car (at buyer's expense) to anywhere in the world utilizing a carrier I have used many times over the years.My wife and I only ask that you keep us updated on the restoration process. This car means a lot to us and we want to see it back on the road and being enjoyed again someday instead of parting it out. It's too good too unique to part out. Reassembled running and with a decent respray and some interior work and this will be one of the best looking Mark 10s you'll ever find in this condition. It just looks incredible going down the road at 80mph with that huge Webasto sun roof pulled back!If you need an indication of what kind of money a restored 1966 Mark 10 can go for check out the lovely White and Tan one that is currently listed on ebay now already bid over $12000 and counting. This one would be more valuable being an England Right Hand Drive car fitted with the rare Webasto sun roof. I can arrange shipping for you using my regular shipper over the years...shipping would only be about $450 within a 500 mile radius of Dayton Ohio.$500 Paypal deposit due immediately upon end of auction balance within 48 hours.
