XKdata note: The VIN and data plate with this car is for a left hand drive XK140 FHC. How the this transition occurred or the fate of the original S814248DN is not known. As noted the engine head quoted V4949-8 is from 837607 an automatic transmission car, the engine block is from 837427 a manual transmission car.

Sellers description:
The Jaguar is not number matching. I provided a picture of the data tag and the New York ownership showing that is the number on the car and the ownership. New York does not issue titles on vehicles before 1973. The previous owner said he has owned this vehicle for over 50 years, so I don't know what happened back in the day. Head number is V49298 and block number is V3968. The Jaguar will be sold non running. The engine turns freely with the starter. Vehicle rolls and steers for easy shipping. The Jaguar is missing the overdrive unit as the previous owner sent it out for repair and it got lost. The car is mostly complete but is also missing spare, jack, tools, one bumper override, and air cleaners. The driver window is off track, so it won't go up. Vehicle is sold in as-is condition.
