      My girlfriend daughter has been missing presumed drown for over 2 yrs. The police almost did nothing to find her. You can find the story under Astoria missing woman, she is biracial and has asperger's. There is evidence that she was kidnapped. If I connect you with my friend Gail Evan's Sanders would you consider the case?

    Wow! That's an awesome find! My brother restored one of these from the ground up in the UK about 25 years ago. They were a very well built car, a combination of luxury and performance. I wonder how many cars these days would last as long in the water? Also, I bet the trunk would just disintegrate with just one pull of the crowbar on the generic garbage from today.

    • @vipahman

    That dash is standard. All wood. AND its a manual. (Or "stick" as the Americans say) Jaguar MK2 in a manual is a rare and desirable car. Just the manual conversion gear (geabox, pedal box, clutch assembly etc) would be worth a bit and certainly would cover the cost of recovery.

      That's what makes these sometimes hard to watch. The 'yank,' 'rip' and total mauling of these vehicles is hard to take. The 1973 Mustang was a pretty bad one. Almost tore the car in half dragging it over a rock. Any salvageable parts were destroyed by over-the-top methods. These aren't the guys to hire for a delicate removal job. Not by a long haul.

    It's a Jag, so it probably runs just as well now as when it went in the water.

    In the condition it is in some collector would love that. Cars like that make for great stories.

      @Sparky Runner That's really cool! Tuckers were ahead of their time. Awesome cars. I heard about that Dusenberg I'll have to check it out! It's cool you got to be a part of the Tucker's history.

    That Jag is not the kind I was thinking of. In either case that is a shame to see someone do that to such a car. I would have to get that dip stick and adapt it to my car for a souvenir. Another cool video.

      I kind of thought showing the guy who sunk the Jag what I learned in Proctology with the dipstick.

      Adventures with Purpose that’s so unbelievably satisfying - one day I hope I can help with something like that - I know nothing about diving equipment but I figure I could catch on quick - I hope to have the opportunity to help out one day -

    Man that was a lot of money in car sent to the bottom. Never found a Jaguar. Did fish a friends 1974 International Scout out of the Finely River by Ozark Mo. Was playing in the mud during high water and dumped it into a 8ft deep hidden wash out hole . Ran the hoist truck with in 200ft of it and fished it out. Wasnt completely lost. Took two weeks of drying it out and draining out all of the water out of the gas tank. Front and backup diffs and trans and transfer case. Drained out the engine and brakes of water and fluids. Flushed all systems and power washed it inside and out. Ran a dehumidifier and fans. Got it all back together and it ran and drove afterwards. Vehicles can with stand exposer to water. Get to them quick enough. And they can be saved with some work. Repaired and saved a 1963 Mercury Comet. Caught in a flash flood and rolled up on its side. Owner was very appreciative for saving the car. Got it running and dried out. It can be done but its a long process. Saved a Buick Wildcat 425 Nail head engine that sat in the car in six feet of water for 2 years. Drained it and soaked with Diesel fuel and Dextron transmission fluid. Two weeks later I flushed it out and filled it with 20 W50 Rotella oil. Turned over engine then put the spark plugs in it . Poured some gas in the carburetor and it started and came back to life. The car a 1966 Buick Wildcat was stripped out and ran it in 4 demolition competitions. Sold the engine and used a Chevrolet 307 engine and a Powerglide trans for power in the car.

    You should do a video when you find old toolboxes and stuff like that. Even if it’s full of mud, people will still watch

    Sure hurt to see that. The Mk2 is one of my favorite classic Jaguars. Do you know the story behind this car? Stolen, etc.?

      We unfortunately don't know the story. Even in this state... it's still beautiful
