‘The interior is all there and in a restorable condition.

‘It is mechanically complete and rolling, although we haven’t attempted to start it.

‘It is a project for the very brave, or a good parts car.’

The Jaguar XJ-C came with the option of a 4.2-litre six-cylinder petrol or a whopping great 5.3-litre V12.

This car has the smaller of the two, but was still fairly swift in its day.

The bidding is currently at £1,000 but the online auction’s reserve hasn’t been met and there are still more than nine days to go.

The finest examples of fully restored XJ-Cs go for as much as £50,000 so whether or not this is a banger or a bargain is yet to be seen.
