Ebay item 4/9/18
wix.com/seepictures/genesgarage. The point being is that as you can see by my own cars (and comments people make about me in the Guestbook on my website) I'm very picky and understand the difference between a nice vehicle from one that needs a lot of attention/$$$$ before you can show and drive it.

· PAINT --- 3 --- The Signature Austin Powers Union Jack paint job was professionally painted to match the original Shaguar color scheme/layout and is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser wherever you go. The paint does have some crazing in a few areas, but its only noticeable when inspecting the car up close; so, if you're looking for a concourse level show car, the paint would need to be touched up. The original paint is actually a very rare color Jaguar referred to as "New Red". Jaguar only painted 25 cars throughout the company's history using "New Red". This is documented by Jaguar and the color is defined on the Heritage Certificate. This definitely adds to the rarity and value of this car; especially if you ever decided to restore the car to it's original condition.

BODY SHEET METAL --- 4.0 --- Body is extremely straight and panels are strong. Note that there are no covered headlights as one would typically see on a 1966 SR I E-type. This was done to mirror the Austin Power car. If for any reason one wanted to put covered head-lights on a kit can be acquired from Monocoque Metal Works. It can be done without effecting the paint.

INTERIOR --- 3.5 --- Nice interior, looks like the original factory leather seats show some wear, but it looks cool (great / mild patina). Nice new rubber Jaguar Floor mats.

ENGINE BAY --- 3.5 --- Clean and detailed - ready for your local car show. A lot of new components under the bonnet --- hoses, plug wires, rubber seals, etc. etc.

TRUNK --- 4.0 --- Show condition; very nice as seen in the photos. The trunk floor is mostly original paint and also nice-----no rust like one typically sees in these old E-types.

WHEELS/TIRES --- 4.0 --- The original chrome wire wheels are in great shape and the tires are also in excellent condition; the spare has never been used.

TOP --- 4.5 --- Excellent condition; replaced NEW not too long ago.

BOOT COVER --- 4.5 --- Excellent Condition

CHROME/GLASS --- 3.5 --- Glass, lights, and chrome are in great shape

EXTRAS/UPGRADES
2 different custom European license plates are included with the car for show: 1) SWINGER and 2) SHAGUAR. One was used in the first Austin Power's movie, and the second one was used in the third Austin Power's movie.

Upgraded CD/audio player (Austin Powers sound track included)

Upgraded intake air filters with chrome finish added to improve performance and sex appeal - as Austin Power's would have ordered it.

Austin Powers's effects are included with the car including the Austin Powers suit jacket, pants, and glasses, a small Austin Powers model car, and of course (1) Swedish made penis pump - "I swear it's not mine baby" as Austin Powers quoted in the movie!

A life size stand-up figure of "Austin Power's" will also be included with the sale of the car-------GREAT FUN for displaying next to the car at car shows. People line-up to take pictures of themselves next to Austin Power's and the "Shaguar". Great way to meet girls. LOL

Documentation showing recent work done and receipts showing minor work done a number of years ago (tune-up/brake-work)------best of all it shows the low miles is correct as it's stated on the receipts.

HOW DOES IT DRIVE?
Engine: The car runs well and has a functioning choke

Shifting: Gearbox feels great, allowing driver to shift effortlessly without having to worry about the shift linkage or synchromesh.

Brakes: The brakes give direct feedback and work well.

Handling: Steering and suspension and both very tight and communicative.

Altogether, the car performs like Austin Powers with his mojo...fast, loud, and sexy, with unmatched smoothness and handling (Oh behave...!!)
