Sellers description:
1967 Jaguar XKE Coupe
Series 1 "Barn Find"
VIN: 1E21551
Right Hand Drive
Manual Transmission
Odometer Reading: 47,622 miles

This beautiful car has been in storage for the past eighteen years and is ready to be restored to the original glory of the Jaguar marque. The current owner purchased this coupe in 1987 and it has been in storage since 1989-- the license tag sticker from that year was still in the glove compartment.

At the time of storage, the car ran and drove with no problems. While in storage, the engine was turned over regularly at first but other projects eventually took over and the car hasn't been started for several years. During that time of dormancy, some valve issues occurred-- resulting in what appear to be several stuck valves. The engine spins freely but our compression test showed one cylinder at 175psi, while others were showing zero. In my opinion, it would make sense to inspect the cylinders and possibly rebuild the engine while the cylinder head is undergoing repair. The triple S.U. carburetors have not been checked for fuel seepage or leaks, but due to the length of storage it would be wise to consider a carburetor rebuild.

The interior is in very nice, original, condition for a vehicle of this vintage. The wooden steering wheel sits proudly in what some consider the “proper side” of the cockpit. Please note that the steering shaft bushings are absent and the shaft is very loose in the housing. All switches and gauges appear to be present. The dash and facia are both very nice and appear to be original. The headliner is intact and not showing any major staining or tears. The spare tire is also included, along with the jack and tool kit. Additionally, 1967 Florida license plates are included with the car, along with the English license plates-- which the owner was told were original.

This XKE was originally painted blue but was completely resprayed burgundy, including the frame rails inside the engine compartment and the firewall. The paintwork was completed prior to the current owner acquiring the car in 1987 and it was likely done to a high standard. Any shortcuts or improper preparation of the car prior to being painted should be showing by now. The chrome bumpers are showing some spots of corrosion. The glass is cloudy with dust, but all of the pieces are intact and in good condition. Additionally, the original headlamp covers are present and in good condition.

With the exception of the front floor pans, the body is showing very little rust. The rust in the floor pan is located in the front section and the frame appears to be unaffected. There is also a small area of filler located in the front section of the left rear wheel well, again, it is photographed for you below. It is my full intention to present this Jaguar as accurately and as honestly as possible. I have inspected many cars over the years only to find “99% rust free” examples to have plenty of problems in areas that sellers without much knowledge of the marque don't bother to inspect. This is an excellent candidate for a restoration and it should serve its new owner very well.

The car is located in Bradenton, Florida, USA.

XKEDATA.com site one note indicate a possible scam, so to clarified the situation I will be in Herlev Denmark for business sunday to tuesday and if it's possible I will inspect the Jag.
Regards
And that's is answer:
I had to move the Jag 67 from one garage to a nother, the transport co. made 2 small dent´s .... front R-door and in front of windshield see pic. below.
insurance are covering the damages but not the time it takes thats why I have to stop the auction and start the auction again when the dent´s are repaired.
thanks for bidding, and I will be back in 2 weeks time.

So...suspicious
