I used to own a Jag coupe (76 black XJ12c; also w/a chevy lump). Really liked it, but thought these things would never go up in value much. Sadly sold it for a paltry $6700 five years ago.

Wow he did ok on that investment. He bought it for 100k and it sold for lots more!
Nice car, but Can't see why it is quite to that level.

It seems like this sale and the last were from the same seller: wob. Is this an individual or a dealer? I have not mined the comments which may reveal the answer.

My aunt and uncle had one in the late 80s, triple black - it was pretty! He always thought it would someday it be worth a fortune. Sadly, he passed a couple of years ago. He would have got a big kick out of this sale.

OMG made my day. No I am not the dealer. My last name is wobber and so Wob-Sales is very cool for me.

From what I have heard, Wob has a facility that stores high-end cars for wealthy types so is connected with a lot of wealthy collectors. Makes good sense to get his dealers license and leverage his own clientele. I believe he charges 10%...
