Additional description from above auction:
Sold On 11/25/16 For $49,000
This 1966 Jaguar XKE OTS was disassembled in the 1990s as a father-and-son project that was never completed. The car retains its matching numbers body, 4.2L twin cam inline-six, and 4-speed manual gearbox, and is described as very complete by the seller's extensive documentation of the included parts. The car was restored at some point in the past prior to its disassembly, and still wears well-worn brown paint. It is sold with a clean Florida title in the seller's name.

The body is fully disassembled and the sheetmetal generally appears to be straight. The car was painted poorly during a prior restoration. All of the major body panels are present, and from the seller's extensive gallery all of the major trim and even the rubber gaskets for the trim appear to be accounted for. The convertible top and windshield is included in the parts cache, and the side windows are still installed in the doors.

The interior has been fully stripped. The floors appear to be relatively solid, though rust is present where the door sills and kick panels meet the floors. A hole is present at the trailing edge of the passenger's floor.

All of the major interior components appear to be accounted for in the comprehensive linked gallery, including the radio, instruments, seats, glovebox, and door panels.

The trunk floor and spare tire well appear solid. Some creasing is visible in the metal around the left taillight housing that is not apparent on the right side of the car.

The 4.2 liter twin cam engine (#7E9027-9) is out of the car and as confirmed as original by the data plate. The transmission (#EJ8549) is original as well, and the stating of both can be seen in the gallery below. The major mechanical components appear to be accounted for, including a three carburetors and the matching manifold.

The data plate can be seen above and confirms that the engine and transmission are original.

As laid out by the seller in their 543-photo gallery, this disassembled, matching-numbers Jaguar looks to be very complete and ready for restoration.

- Dismantled in the 1990s but restoration never commenced
- Matching numbers, Heritage Certificate, imported from USA
- Understood but not warranted to be mainly complete, many photos of packed parts

This LHD example was recently imported from America. Understood to have been restored at some earlier point in its life, it was disassembled in the 1990s but the planned father and son restoration never commenced and it is now offered as a kit of parts, many of which are contained in numerous labelled boxes. All the major body panels are said to be present, and from an extensive on-line gallery of photographs which was made available to the vendor by the previous owner, all the major trim and even the rubber gaskets for the trim appear to be accounted for. The 4.2 engine (#7E9027-9) is out of the car and original to it as confirmed by the data plate and Production Record. The gearbox (#EJ8549) is original as well. The major mechanical components also appear to be accounted for, including three carburettors and the matching manifold.

According to a Jaguar Heritage Certificate issued in 2016, it was originally supplied by Jaguar Cars New York, finished in Opalescent Dark Green with Suede Green trim and a black hood. The certificate further records the fact that the registration 'HHP 802D' was issued in Coventry. Not UK registered and sold as viewed, it represents an ideal opportunity for a new owner to restore this matching numbers car to their exact specification
