Here are the highlights:
Matching number

Runs
Interior very pretty

The car has been in California (San Diego) since the early 1960's, was owned by executive that transferred from New York, It was sold in late 1970's to a friend of mine. Around 1986 he decided to restore the car and did a very nice job and used it once a month till 1996. It has been parked in one car garage here in San Diego.... I bought it from him a while back and kept it in his garage till last month...

I ordered a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and it confirms that all numbers match.... I had soaked the pistons with mystery oil for a year before hand turning it over... fortunately he had drained all fluids (gas, brake fluid, coolant etc...).. I fired it up with new oil and it runs very smooth.,.... as it used to....

All gauges, lights work, ....

tires hold air, original jack and spare are present...

Chrome is very decent...

Absolutely no rust areas

Dash wood is excellent wool headliner is fine

needs the brake wheel cylinders redone from sitting and whatever one does to tranny from sitting (probably basic service), as well as cleaning gas tank ....

Body is extremely straight though there is dent from a computer falling on right rear when covered in the garage during the Easter Earthquake april 5 2010....

I have a few spares and original washer bottle (not shown)

oh the red cloth on wipers are there so someone doesn't use wiper switch and scratch windshied

It is a matching number low mile California (last 50 years) running Iconic (car model used in Vertigo) Jaguar. It is ready for basic work to be use nice daily driver or perfect for concourse restoration.

1957 Jaguar Mk8

Great condition, numbers matching Mk8

The car was in California (San Diego) since the early 1960's, was owned by executive that transferred from New York. It was sold in late 1970's to the next owner who restored around 1986. The owner used it once a month until 1996 when he sold the car to a friend. The new owner left the car in the same garage and never drove it. The owner just previous to me ordered a Jaguar Heritage Certificate while in California and it confirms that all numbers match.

He decided to sell the car in July 2013 when I acquired it and shipped it to Michigan via InterCity Lines. On August 4 the car arrived at a mechanics shop in Michigan and underwent a thorough review and work over the next few months. A list of the work accomplished is below.

Fuel System
Both carburetors rebuilt
Both fuel pumps replaced
Both gas tanks removed and refurbished (opened, cleaned, and coated)
Lines replaced

Brakes
All four wheel cylinders removed and rebuilt by White Post
All drums removed and refurbished
Servo replaced
Lines replaced

Cooling System
Radiator removed and refurbished
Water pump replaced
Thermostat replaced
Hoses replaced

Body and chrome are in great shape for a 1986 restoration though there is dent from a computer falling on right rear when covered in the garage during the California Easter Earthquake on April 5, 2010. All of the lights work and the headliner is in good shape. Front half windshield chrome present, but missing two trim clips.
