What should you do with them?

here are my suggestions in ascending order of grief and pain to yourself.

  1. Advertise them for free - they probably will be gone within the week.
  2. Try to find a wholesale buyer for the lot. You may get $200 to $300 each for them depending on ease of removal.
  3. Advertise them individually - it will most likely take a long time to sell them
  4. Part them out - Could take many years and lots of calls and no shows.
  5. Keep and restore as many as you can. Painful for your wallet and sanity.

  • Advertise them for sale in “classifieds” on this forum is one thing to try, but you may need to make a few posts, or “like” some other posts before you have the “privelege” needed to do so (may also be needed to post photos)

  • see if there is a local Jaguar Facebook page in your locality

  • advertise them to local Jag club, online specialist sites, car sale sites etc etc

depending on condition, they may bring up to $10k for a really good one

more like 2-3k for a runner with no major faults

A canny Jaguar enthusiast may pay $1-2K for one that is ok

Rust is the killer, if they have no rust and only minor faults, they are worth something for sure
