This is a pretty good looking car! Concours? Show Winner? Probably not, =
but if it drives as well as it looks, it certainly represents a good =
deal for the buyer. You certainly could not build one like this for this =
price, even if you are starting with a good solid car. I question =
whether there is a market that will step in and buy a car like this at =
this price. I am at a loss on how we as Magnette owners can create a =
market for good clean cars like this one. A Mk II Jag in this condition =
would have no problem reaching $30K - $35K at auction because of the =
reputation and mystique of Jaguar, though these prices have remained =
pretty constant over the past 10 years or so. Though it lacks the =
torquey 6 and top notch brakes of the Jag, the Magnette is still a very =
solid car with better than average handling characteristics and a very =
posh and cozy interior. I would speculate that having a few more =
"finished" cars sell, and perhaps, sell at one of the more prominent =
Auctions such as Barret Jackson, would increase the public awareness =
and demand for our cars. Without demand, there really isn't any value, =
and demand can't be built on $2K projects.
I am guessing that a few more of us are going to need to sell our cars - =
holding out for prices like this one or higher - before the market will =
come up far enough to make this more of a typical value.
