That's pretty interesting- I love Jaguar's (...had a 1996 XJ6 that nearly killed me a few times stalling out...sigh, her name was Carmen and she was absolutely beautiful) but...long story short- usually leapers mouths are open no? This looks a bit more sculpture art to me? It's a great find either way!
And I believe the Leaper came to be mid 40's-?

Even though I worked for Rolls, had lots of Jags in the shop, mouth always open, never remember one like yours, and first ones very different.

Looks more like what's left of a Ford Greyhound mascot from 1935 or so. Check out some pictures on the web.It’s broken on the mouth part it’s not complete

Ah- that makes sense! Just looked and you're right! The ears nailed it. Wish I had been on here years ago and gotten a few pointers on how to fix my Carmen 😆Looks more like what's left of a Ford Greyhound mascot from 1935 or so. Check out some pictures on the web.
Sorry, there was no way to "fix" one of those Jaguars. You just repaired them best as you could until they broke down again. F'ing horrible cars to work on.Ah- that makes sense!

That describes every car made since about 1975, IMO. 😱F'ing horrible cars to work on.
I have heard this from every mechanic ever haha, the one that tried to fix mine would say" ...in a gold wrapper" you can fill in the blankThat describes every car made since about 1975, IMO. 😱
