Hi Tony the upcoming Shannons Sydney Auction has a Mk10 jaguar for sale with no reserve http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/BVB42EEEY98N2S42 . Geoff

Nice colour combination.
I have a soft spot for the Mk X.

Fancy re upholstering it in velour

It is so anti-British cars, isn't it?

Hi Michel yes i noticed the velour but i figure as the rest of the car looks good and it has no reserve price .Well why not Geoff

A bit silly considering its cheaper to buy Conolly leather for Jags than Gahh leather for Mercedes, I re did mine for under $3000.00 and Leather in an old Jag just makes it more Jaggy in my opinion.

Steering wheel is wrong, Shouldnt be a handle on the glove box lid nor should there be chrome body trim as this was a 420G item and Mk X did not have them.

Tool kit is also missing and he mirrors are wrong, they should be clamped to the door frame forward of the 1/4 vent windows.

I cant see the clock on the speedo either which may indicate it has a 420G Speedo as the 420G has the clock above the center instrument panel.

The Widest Jag ever made though and will sit on 120 Mph all day long and feel lovely doing it with variomatic power steering that gets progressively firmer the faster you go and the Mk X actually squats down at speed.

Maybe that is why it is been auctionned.
A lot of unoriginal items

A few yep, id want to take it for a run and hear it idle both cold and at temp.

$2500 would be fair.
