GarageScout Take

Black is uncommon among observed examples of this generation, and the documented dropped-valve repair ties this car directly to Jaguar through William Lyons’s signed response and the factory-supplied cylinder head.

Strengths

  • Extensive period documentation includes factory correspondence signed by William Lyons.
  • Original invoice, title, bill of sale, and owner's manual accompany the car.
  • The engine-head replacement and related parts supplied by Jaguar UK are documented in the original correspondence.

Watch For

  • The car has been off the road and in storage since the 1970s.
  • The motor was last running in 2002.
  • The listing presents the car as a restoration candidate.
