eBay item#4627564343 which ad reads:
VEHICULE DESCRIPTION:
Vehicle mostly complete but very rough. Great restoration project. Found in barn and currently being shipped to Northern California - or directly to lucky new owner. DESCRIPTION:
Bonnet is original aluminum in great shape with original grill (not pictured). Passenger door is nice. Driver side door is restorable and complete. I understand the truck lid is a little beat-up. Overall, the sheet metal is rough but no place where one could punch a thumb through. The frame is solid but has some rust through up near the very front section at the bumper mounts. The car rolls and tires hold air.
PARTS INCLUDED
A ton of original parts, and extra parts, are still with the car and were kept inside. Items included are: [...]Original engine, Original gear box, [...] Original steering wheel [...]
Horn and horn button, [...]
ENGINE
The engine inside the car is from a MK VII but the original engine and gearbox are with the car.

TITLE
Title has the following information: Jaguar Roadster MFR’s/Chassis No. 671579. The engine inside the car is from a MK VII but the original engine and gearbox are with the car. The MK VII engine in the car is D1237-8 and the XK engine believed to be original is W3698-8. There is no data tag on the car but we do have a tag with the car from the MK VII that matches the engine in the car and it can possibly be used for export purposes as it has matching title.
