Richard,

As Mike has noted they are here in Sydney and shipping them to the USA would not be cost effective.

They are 1949-1951 MKV Saloons which are kinda unique, they look like pre WWII with large swoopy mud guards (fenders), a long bonnet
(hood), spats (I've been Downunder too long - can't remember what they're called Upover), and a boot (trunk) with a built in tool
kit (they are Jags after all!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_Mark_V

I bought them when I was based here in the 1980's as I figger'd they'd appreciate in value by the time I retired. Unfortunately the
cost to restore a saloon is just about what you can sell one for ($25-30 grand); UNLESS it is a Drop Head Coupe. There were only
about 400 or so built and they command six figures when restored. They are a beautiful car.

I do a search on eBay now and then for them and both the saloons and drop heads show up. I've noted that a drop head in restorable
condition usually sells for around $25 - 30 grand. So if you spend another $25 grand on it you're way ahead.

Regards,
Rob M.

I think Robs Jags are down under.
