I have no first hand experience with Brass Era cars, but do like them.

Is that a spittoon on the floor of that thing?

Not to be too picky, but for $160k, don't you think it would have been a good idea to take it outside and detail it beofre taking and posting photos?

I think your right Jim, that does look like a spittoon.......I don't think that was an option that came with the car.......judging from the garage organization , it might have fallen off a shelf and just landed there..haha

Just looking at that hand crank next to it makes my shoulder hurt.

I agree Greg but, finding and making a path to get the car outside would probably be a large undertaking.

Need to be cautions with this one.  The seller has 12 cars for sale but has 0 (zero) feedback.   

[Mike Baillargeon #15848]

The price came down some.

He has feed back but it is negative.

[Glen]

The feedback is recent.  Someone claims the car the seller is selling is his and the seller does not own it.  The listing was ended “….. by the seller because there was an error in the listing.”

The same guy had a 1948 Jaguar MK IV on eBay for $40k. I found it actually for sale in WA for $18k. Talked to the dealership that was listing it and found out the guy on eBay didn't own it. He was trying to preselling it before buying it. They made him take down to auction and I bought the car from them.
Beware of the guy!!!!
On Nother note, if anyone is familiar with the MK IV, I'd be interested in talking with them. My second Jag. I've found it very handy to have a back seat....someplace for the mechanic to sit! 🙄

I have a 1950 Mark V I am resto-modding.  Getting close to finished. 

[gary griffin]

According to his prefix he is near Muskegan Michigan, and his eBay home page says he has over 20 websites and a large garage full of classic cars that he sells all over the world.  Very interesting, either a good vendor or a schemer??

I normally fly to location and buy in person for large purchases. The last time I did not do that and depended on pictures, the car was beautiful but I had a large bill replacing the sun baked upholstery.

I have inspected cars in the Seattle area for club members also, no fee just a little fun looking at old local Cadillac's  I inspected a Beautiful Cadillac Pick up Mirage conversion and tried jokingly to tell the club member it was a hunk of junk so I could buy it, but my laughter on the phone clued him in and he was well pleased with the car.

I am sure many club member are willing to do this also so if considering a long distance purchase consider you directory and see if a local member would be willing to do that?  I am about 20 miles south of Seattle and nearer to Tacoma and usually available as I am retired.

This was a good suggestion that I should have thought of. I just bought the 1948 Jaguar MK V that this clown had listed. I found the dealership that was selling it, Premier Motors in Tacoma, WA. The fellow there sounded and seems honest and helpful. This is the first time buying a running car that I didn't look at first. I'm hoping it's in as good a shape as I was told. I don't know when it will be shipped, hopefully picked up by the end of next week.

That would have been an easy one for me to look at for you Wayne.  I live in a city called Federal Way and Tacoma shares our south border while we are south of Seattle about 20 miles.

I like the old Jags and have had a few.

[Jeff Wilk]

Garys suggestion is the best and Gary is one stand up guy and jokester!!!  Im the one he checked the Mirage out for and to this day I still tell folks the story about how he and the seller pranked me over the phone while he was there and I was 3,000 miles away in NJ 🤗🤡😛😂😂. 

You're still the best Gary!!!

[gary griffin]

Glad you enjoyed the Mirage Jeff. It was a steal at the price you got it for in my humble opinion.

The '48 Jag MK V is still sitting at Premier Motors in Tacoma waiting to get picked up. I'm getting anxious to see and drive it!
