Dear All:
I am so pleased to have been referred to this site by Ragtops and Roadsters. I need advice.
My husband passed away recently and our beloved Jag is still sitting in the garage, untouched since 1975. At that time we had paid a "friend" to repaint the car and two coats later our friend landed in jail. Circumstances took over and the car was never restored. Now I have to part with a great big memory.
The car is a 1967 or 1968 XKE, hard top coupe, six cylinder. It is in fair condition, mild rust, unpainted, but garaged for thirty odd years. I have received an offer of $5000 and don't know if it is a fair price or not. I would love to have the car restored, but after looking into the idea I realized it is WAY beyond my means.
Since I am moving to an apartment, I would have to store the car in an open area of a barn. Any advice?
