Thanks to Dennis J for finding this one! When I had my first look at this 1962 Jaguar XKE flat floor convertible I was, well, shocked. Bidding here on eBay is over $50,000 and the reserve has still not been met. It’s a numbers matching car and comes with a heritage certificate, but being parked for the past 44 years hasn’t been easy on it. As you can see by the pictures, not all that brown is dirt, or even patina. I don’t think the holes all over the body are intentional holes for weight reduction or ventilation. Then I looked at the Hagerty valuation of these cars. They have more than doubled in the last couple of years. They sell on average for between $100,000 and $400,000! Do you think this can be restored within those values? With that much rust visible, imagine what is not showing. Just imagine what kind of structural issues could be hiding underneath! Do you think there is much of this car that will be usable? Perhaps this Jaguar had a special history that would make it worth all the work!
