The body of this Jaguar is solid, and it has some old red paint on it. The left rear fender has some surface rust. There is some rust on the rear panel buy the deckild. The bonnet doors and decklid are in nice shape. The convertible top is present, but it should be recovered. The interior is all there, some pieces should be replaced.

This car also has what appears to be XK-140 taillights, not the correct 120 ones.
Would suggest that the seller/auctioner take better photos of the interior detailing condition of woodwork and trim bits as this is where the money will be spent aside from sorting the bodywork.
