Why Sell to a Buyer vs. Auction?

Speed & Certainty: Auctions (live or online) introduce multi‑week lead times, listing prep costs, detailing, photography, reserves, commissions, buyer’s premiums, transport to venue, and possible “no sale” outcomes. I deliver a direct, private purchase—you keep 100% of the agreed sale price because there are no seller fees or commissions.

Risk Reduction: When you consign, your Jaguar is exposed to transit risk, storage dings, and public scrutiny. A quick discreet sale minimizes exposure while still capturing a competitive value based on the current market.

Market Expertise: My team tracks classic Jaguar market trends daily: E-Type Series I (3.8 vs. 4.2 distinctions), Series II driver-quality demand, Series III V12 2+2 vs. roadster differentials, early outside-bonnet-latch 1961 cars, flat-floor nuances, welded vs. riveted louvers, matching-numbers drivetrain importance, color originality effects, and the evolving appreciation of survivor cars vs. over-restored examples. I also understand the nuance of XK120 alloy vs. steel roadsters, SE / M spec performance upgrades, XK140 MC (C-Type head) desirability, XK150 S triple SU setups, and the rare pre-war SS100 (2½ vs. 3½ Litre).

Any Condition Accepted: From a concours-level E-Type Series I 3.8 OTS to a dormant XK140 fixed-head coupe missing its cylinder head, I buy them all. Sun-faded paint, seized engines, incomplete interiors, boxes of original spares, aftermarket wheels, period competition modifications—still of interest.

Immediate Liquidity: Avoid waiting months for a restoration to finish or an auction calendar slot. I can purchase as-is today, allowing you to redeploy capital or free space.

I Buy XKE / E-Type!

One of the most universally admired sports cars. I actively seek:

• Early 1961 outside-bonnet-latch (OBL) flat-floor 3.8 cars (roadster & fixed-head) – prized for early production uniqueness.
• Series I 3.8 & 4.2 (1961–1967) – Covered-headlamp purity, triple SU configuration, matching-numbers significance.
• Series II (1968–1971) – Strong demand for honest drivers; buyers appreciate original colors and patina.
• Series III V12 (1971–1974) – Roadsters and 2+2s; V12 torque appeals to touring-focused collectors; manual gearboxes often command extra interest.

Key value influencers I evaluate: original chassis/engine/gearbox stamping authenticity, factory color (Opalescent Silver Blue, BRG, Carmen Red, Primrose), rust in sills/floor pans, monocoque integrity, subframe alignment, completeness of hard-to-source trim (headlamp glass, toggle switches, original steering wheel), and documentation (Heritage Certificate, service history, period competition logbooks).

XK: XK120 1948–54, XK140 1954–57, XK150 1957–61

• XK120 – Early alloy-bodied roadsters (first ~240 units) are especially coveted. Steel roadsters, fixed-head coups, and dropheads all welcome. Matching-numbers and Special Equipment (SE / M) features (wire wheels, dual exhaust, higher-lift cams) add historical interest.
• XK140 – Appreciated for improved ergonomics, rack-and-pinion steering, and optional C-Type cylinder head in MC / SE spec. I buy roadsters (OTS), fixed-head, and drophead coupes—complete or in pieces.
• XK150 – Disc brakes, larger interior, “S” models with triple SU carbs. Solid demand exists for both restoration candidates and preserved drivers.

Common assessment points: timber & frame condition, chassis corrosion at outriggers, alloy vs. steel panel originality, presence of spats (XK120), cylinder head correctness (straight vs. curved studs), instrument cluster originality, interior wood veneer condition, and availability of rare trim (Lucas headlamps, early Brooklands screens on special cars, etc.).

SS100 (1936–1940)

Pre-war sports car icon of the SS Cars Ltd. era (prior to the Jaguar name’s standardization). With extremely low surviving production, each example demands bespoke evaluation. Barn finds, older restorations with aging leather, or long-stored museum cars—I will still make a serious, prompt offer. Provenance, matching engine/chassis identity, period competition history, and originality of coachwork details (cycle wings, lamps, instruments) are key data points.

Additional Jaguars of Interest

• Pre-war SS saloons, Mark IV / Mark V for historical collection contexts.
• Mark II sports saloons (3.4 / 3.8) – Desirable as quickly appreciating usable classics.
• XK8 / XKR early modern classics transitioning into collectible status.
• XJ6 & XJ12 Coupes (XJ-C) – Pillarless styling rarity.
• XJR-S, XJS V12, TWR or period race-prepped examples.
• Limited-production or competition-prepared E-Type derivatives (Lightweight replicas, period privateer race builds) – purchased with appropriate documentation.
• XJ220 early 1990s supercar icons, including cars needing recommissioning after long storage.

Fast, Straightforward Sale

1. Initial Contact: Call, email, or fill out the online form referencing “sell my E-Type,” “sell XK120,” or your specific model. Provide a brief description (year, body style, transmission, notable options) and a handful of clear photos (exterior, interior, engine bay, chassis corners, data plates).
2. Rapid Photo-Based Appraisal: My team and I evaluate originality, completeness, and current market appetite. We balance the premium characteristics (early flat-floor, alloy body, MC spec, 3.8 vs. 4.2 differences) against any needs (rust, missing SU carbs, seized engine) to produce an offer without making you wait for lengthy inspections.
3. Firm Offer & Immediate Payment: Once we agree, I send a purchase agreement and issue immediate payment (bank wire or cashier’s check). No consignment lag, no multi-tier commission structure.
4. Logistics & Pickup: We coordinate enclosed (or appropriate open) transport anywhere in the continental US + Hawaii. You do not have to prep the car beyond rolling it out (and if it doesn’t roll, we still handle it). Title and documentation are collected securely.
5. White-Glove Closure: Funds confirm, vehicle loads, and you’re done. Many sellers tell me the entire process took days—not weeks or months.

Special Situations

• Estate / Inherited Jaguar: I assist families needing valuation clarity for probate or equitable distribution, avoiding the unpredictability of auction reserves.
• Project & Disassembled Cars: Boxes of parts, removed drivetrain, partially stripped paint, or stalled restoration? Still of interest, especially if major components remain present.
• Long-Term Storage / Barn Finds: Flat tires, dust, vermin nesting, light surface corrosion—common and manageable. Original patina can even enhance interest.
• Period Competition or Custom Modifications: Period racing logbooks, SCCA tech stickers, vintage speed parts (Dunlop alloy wheels, Derrington steering wheel, Weber conversions) are evaluated thoughtfully—even if non-original, they can add narrative value.

Factors I Consider

While I never publish specific offers publicly, here are principal elements informing a value conversation:

• Matching-numbers (engine, cylinder head, gearbox, chassis)
• Early production features (flat floors, welded louvers, outside bonnet latches, alloy bodies)
• Original colors vs. color changes; presence of Heritage Certificate
• Integrity of monocoque (E-Type) or frame (XK / SS100) and extent of corrosion repairs
• Completeness and authenticity of trim, brightwork, instrumentation, tool kits, manuals
• Condition of mechanical assemblies (engine turns, compression, obvious modifications)
• Provenance: known ownership chain, competition entries, period dealership invoices
• Quality & age of past restorations (lacquer vs. modern paint systems, interior leather quality)

Advantages of Selling

• Established Since 2004 – Two decades of continuous acquisition experience.
• 1,000+ Annual Purchases – Proven capacity to transact quickly at scale.
• Nationwide Reach – All continental states + Hawaii; I will literally chase leads “every nook and cranny.”
• Any Condition Acceptance – From polished concours to seized-engine barn finds.
• Immediate Payment & Pickup – Liquidity and logistic simplicity.
• Transparent Process – No hidden fees, no marketing or listing costs.
• Expert, Informed Offers – Deep familiarity with Jaguar-specific nuances; context of broader European classic market trends.
• Personal Branding & Integrity – My appearances on TV shows (“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” “Buying Beverly Hills,” “Fast N Loud,” “Wheeler Dealers”) have introduced me to mainstream viewers, but I remain grounded in genuine enthusiast culture.
