    If it was right side up and had the original engine I would have been interested.

    Didn't realize that old Jags had more than 1G of ground effects! ;)

    Apparently the change from positive to negative ground resulted in an anti-gravity conversion.

    I do have a Jag engine and trans available, too. It's a high performance XK150S engine, so it would be period correct, and pretty darn cool if someone wanted to do the work ... and sure to get the car off the ceiling!

    Is that a TR4 or TR250 next to it?

    That's certainly a cool ride, but my commute consists of school zones, heavy traffic and often 100+ degree tempuratures, so no, a daily of that era is out of bounds. Would definitely be cool to restore with the XK150S engine and trans.

    This was one of the cars that prompted me to take up an apprenticeship at Jaguar cars (BLMC) in 1970. I passed one every day on the way to school. A fine motorcar :)
