Deary me, this post-war Jaguar has seen better days. But is it beyond economical restoration? If the doors do indeed open and close ok, then perhaps structurally it's not as bad as it looks. Maybe.

Body looks pretty good. Just rust in the usual places. Interior looks challenging.

Comes to something when the major selling feature is that the doors open! Laughing

"But is it beyond economical restoration?"

The guy that is selling it is the main man in early Jaguar restorations so my guess is NO!

It looks like a labour of love like mine.

Its always difficult assessing something that's partially stripped, its all the little odd things like unique trim or brackets that can be missing. Can take an age to find replacements and they can be very expensive Shocked

Labour of love definitely but they are such lovely cars when done. If I ever had the space and money I'd like one.
