Silverghost...I just joined this list, and live in Gurnee...
I have finally accepted that I'm never going to get my Jaguar Mark 1 2.4 finished, as I have just lost interest. Too many other things going on in my life.
Right now, I have been putting it back together, following a pretty significant restoration. See the work that was done at this URL:

Right now, the car has been bead blasted to bare metal, all of the rust fixed properly with new sheet metal and leading (no bondo at all...see pics), A nice paint job (see pics), I have the refinished wood for the interior, new biscuit interior for it, bolt-on spoked chrome wheels (see
pics), a NOS front grille.
Right now, I've been putting the biscuit interior on the seats, I've added sound deadener to the roof and floors, started putting the chrome bits back on, etc. I have all the parts for the car, including some beautifully redone wood for the interior.
If anyone is seriously interested, let me know. I do not have a specific price in mind right now, as I am more interested in someone who really wants one of these cars to have the opportunity to get it. So, if you are interested, let me know, I can provide more pictures as you request, and give me an offer. Who knows?
