Sellers description:
This is a 1956 Jaguar Mark 1. The car is 100% complete body parts wise, and it is in great condition for restoring. I do have all the headlights, wheel caps etc. that are missing from the picture. All engine parts are there, but the last time it ran was two year ago and it has been sitting since than so I am quite sure it needs a rebuild, or at least replacing the seals on it. Jaguar used the same straight 6 until the mid 80's, so finding any replacement is actually very easy and inexpensive. The body is straight, no major dents nor through rusts. The floorboards a bit rusty, but still no through rust there either. Seats are in ok shape, some tearing on the front driver seat but it is fixable. The transmission is a 4 speed manual. The original color is white, but I think looks even better in silver, will look beautiful once restored! I have seen these cars selling for $30.000 some places and it is really rare to find, specially in this good condition in the US; left side steering wheel... Did go through a VIN check: Clean title, both; title and registration are on my name, new WA collector's license plate.
