No, it is English and 16 made back in the day according to the blurb.
The restoration is knock-out, never seen panel gaps so even and close, a real 'Barry Job'.
The colour has real presence.(imho)
A very imposing car.
Don't give up as the identity is a slight surprise.

I reckon that’s a Jag SS Airline.

10/10 to Sam. What a great car it is. In the Gaydon Motor Museum yesterday.
Nice link by KS above. So much for my 16 made, it was over 600!

That looks exactly like a car that has been rotting on a driveway near me for as long as I’ve been alive. Our understanding was that it was a very rare 30’s Jag, if it’s the same as this then I guess it is!!
It used to have an e30 M3 BMW rotting next to it too but that has now gone and been replaced with a Hyundai or some other atrocity.
Now I’m going to have to go have a proper look!
