Message:?Hello! I've unexpectedly found myself named executor to my younger cousin who unexpectedly passed away in August. In the garage of his Berkeley home there are two defunct Jaguars. One looks like a MK Saloon, maybe 1962 or earlier? The other is a sport car, maybe a 1950s XK? I could send you photos; you'd no doubt be much more adept at identifying the models. So far I haven't found keys, pink slips, or any other useful paperwork, but I'm trying to clear out and renovate the house for sale. These two cars have obviously spent decades under tarps in a Berkeley garage, but might be of interest to someone who wanted Jaguars to restore, or for parts.
What would you advise for next steps for dealing with these Jaguars? Who would I contact about this sort of thing? Where could I advertise or publish a classified about them? And how would I determine value?
If you (or some other enthusiast) would like to see them, I usually visit the house on Saturdays; alternatively I could take photos (let me know what parts of the cars would be best to focus on) and email them to you.
Thanks!
