Saleroom notices
Engine: Please note although the engine head and block bear the correct serial number to the chassis plate - W2711-7 - the engine is not the original unit. Furthermore, the engine block is cracked and will require a replacement, with subsequent rebuild to a greater or lesser extent. Bearing in mind the anticipated expenditure the Seller wishes the Jaguar to be priced accordingly and we are pleased to re-estimate the car at £40,000 - 50,000.
