Californian imports tend to be in a lot better condition for their age, due to it being a ‘dry state’. The seller has over 70 photos of this car, so drop them a line if you’re interested in it!
From the seller: “1958 MK1 Jaguar saloon, Manual overdrive 3.4 litre just in from California where it has sat in a garage for many a year.
The car does have some rust, but not anything like UK style rust! There is some rust to doors and bottom of wing and lower of rear valance.
Also bonnet has minor damage around hinge area, looks like it may of come open when driving, other than that there is no damage.
The car has one carb and the LH front window missing and both front sidelamp lenses, otherwise it appears complete.
The engine turns, but as one carb missing we can not attempt to run it.
A lovely old thing, let that inner gangster roam free in this again once restored!”
