Photos would say that the car looks very original, could be an older resto though. A cracker in this state !!

*The ultimate expression of Jaguar's XK series
According to Philip Porter's excellent book Original Jaguar XK, this Jaguar was completed at the Jaguar works in late June, 1959. It was configured as seen today; a fixed head coupe fitted with the manual four speed overdrive transmission and left hand steering, and was most likely destined for the US market. Little is known about the car's subsequent history, but it appears to have been kept on the road for all these years. The red interior appears original, and now shows a wonderful patina. The paint shows some imperfections, however the car looks as if it has never been taken apart for restoration. Here is a wonderful example to refurbish before enjoying it on rallies or tours, or indeed to give the "full treatment" to bring it up to Concours-level condition.
Without reserve
Estimate:
US$ 45,000 - 55,000
