This is a rare beast! Most people think of the Jaguar SS 100 as the only pre-war Jag, but there were others. This 1939 1.5L Drop Head Coupe was a somewhat more practical Jag, even with a back seat. the 1.5 liter four cylinder was acquired from Standard, unlike the in-house Jaguar six cylinder in the SS.
The seller includes quite a few pictures and is 100% open about the fact that this is a non-running restoration candidate. It needs everything, but it does appear to be complete.

This boot won’t hold many boots.
Here’s the tiny four cylinder, shoved forward to allow a little legroom.
Here’s the all-important Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust certificate.
