Hi Wasif, Thankx for the pics of the car. The car seems to be needing quite abit of work. Do you have all the parts kept away ? What was the condition of the engine last when you had started the car up ? Regards Indrojit Sircar | |

| ![]() All parts for this Jag was on it and are in storage. It was missing just a few of the small gauges and switches on the dash. I drove the car for a few days before I started work on it. Engine was fine as it has hardly any mileage on the clock. It had a new set of tires on it but was missin the spare and the tools fromt eh toolkit in the bootlid. It has a set of Yellow "Corning" headlamp glass that is in perfect condition. Last edited by wasif : 26th September 2010 at 10:56. |

Sir: there's a poignant story that touches our family, and I'm thrilled to hear the name and see the pic of the Jag. My maternal Grandfather (then Dy Accountant General) was a tenant in Justice Hidaytullah's 'Double Bungalow' in Byramji Town, and my Mom and her sisters grew up there and were close friends with the gentleman's nephew and wife who were neighbours. There was a colourful story of the Justice's romance/marriage, but perhaps it shouldn't be shared here (just because it's probably still a private matter to his descendants). There's so much history there, I long to go back even though most names have gone on to happy hunting grounds ...the memories linger! | |

| ![]() I would be keen to know more about what happened to this car, eventually!!Loosk like a beauty. Congrats on your acquisition. By the way, you can get the car done up and then exported to USA, if you so desire, as long as documentation is in order. |

I would NEVER even dream of having this car or any car for that matter from India to EVER leave the country. We have lost a good bit already and what remains is too precious to even think about loosing | |

I think you got it wrong , Government of India regulations do not permit export or import of vintage vehicles. Wasif , Please recommence the restoration , this car is : - easy to restore - easy to maintain - easy to drive Infact it could be maintained as a daily driver , if you had somebody to guard the fittings when you parked it. By the way , my car has a block marked SS and this car has a Jaguar block ??? Any explanations Harit and other experts. Regards Chauhan | |

Your car must be a pre 47 car as the dropped the "SS" part of the name around this time. Soem old block with the SS stamped on them would have found their wasy into post 47 cars too. What does your radiator badge read "SS Jaguar" or just "Jaguar" The only issue with restoring this car is the cost of redoing the interior in leather and carpets as close to the original as posible. All that leather will surely cost a bomb. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Wasif , My car is a 1 1/2 Litre Jaguar ( not SS ) and the radiator badge states this . Best of Luck for your restoration. Regards Chauhan |
