It's so green, that's a color we only see in pine forests or after a rain.
Someone here should know what kind of car that was.
Thanks for sharing!

Its a Jag and a straight 6 and Anvil no 63 Roller came with a v12. The new ones do but not the old ones like in the pic. It was usually either a 6 or 8 but the 8 was like 512 cubic inches.

YEAH ANVIL! YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT!    I wasn't 100% sure it's a rolls, the front bumper doesn't look right. but i do question it being a Jag. |

The XK's were a 2 seat roadster. The Jag Mark series (I or II) were a 4 door sedan. It's an early 50's Jag sedan. The engine is their standard dual overhead cam inline 6. What a shame that it sits rotting away. |

I also think it is an older Jag. The xke was the 2 seater, think they shared the same inline 6 dual overhead cam motors.

It is a jag an that is a 3.8 dual overhead cam 6 cylinder engine.How do I know? I had a 63 jag xke an rebuilt the engine myself.I had to become an expert because I couldn't afford to have a mechanic work on it.The v 12s didn't come out until the late 60s or early 70s.

Another thing too bad you could not get that car they are valuable classics restored,even the engine is worth some money if only for parts.
