I also have one of these Jaguar Mark 1 sedans. It has the XK Jaguar 3.4 engine with manual stick 4 speed plus overdrive box. I have a special technique on Jaguar engines and gearboxes. I remove them entirely and put in their place a US V8 and Tremec manual stick box. My car is waiting for a full restoration (basket case) to be commenced. It's very rusty but repairable. Both Jaguars have walnut veneered wooden dashboards and leather seats and I think both are nice shapes but I avoid bothering with the engines and gearboxes as the reliability of US made replacements is just too good to pass up. I am not into originality as I only buy I never sell and the cars are for me so I am immune to the sales market here.
