Additional description from above auction:
Lot 013
Scottsdale 2017
1939 Jaguar SS 2 1/2 Litre Drophead Coupe
Estimate: $175,000 - $200,000 | Without Reserve
Chassis: 46268
Engine: L1841E

Offered from single family ownership since the 1970s, this 2 1/2 Litre Drophead Coupe was the subject of a comprehensive, two-year restoration by marque specialist Jeff's Resurrections, completed in 2001. Restored in its original livery of Gunmetal Grey over black leather upholstery, this exquisite SS retains its matching-numbers engine, according to an accompanying letter from Jaguar Cars dated February 1974. Since restoration, the Drophead Coupe has been displayed at the 2002 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® and the 2008 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, while at numerous Jaguar Clubs of North America events, it has never failed to take first place in its class. The car's most recent outing was the October 2012 Jaguar Club of Austin Concours, where the SS received 99.98 points from JCNA judges, a testament to the enduring quality of its restoration.

Only 273 2 1/2 Litre Drophead Coupes had been made when WWII halted production; today, survivors are rare and sought-after. This stylish, capable example remains in superb condition, and has recently undergone detailing by its original restorer. Offered here is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic British sporting steed and one of the most exclusive SS Jaguar motorcars.

just a couple of things I notice with the car
exhaust manifolds are incorrect note the unused bolt hole top center for another bolt that isn't matched to the head.
The door panels are all packed with way to mutch foam/padding they should be a lot flatter looking
