Here is a better pic of it but sorry still not the best. He wants $600 for it. I haven't seen the bike yet to check the serial number. I'm thinking it might be a 1955 Jag...seat doesn't look original though. Feel free to offer opinions and observations
Thanks

Front fender light and seat never came on a Jaguar. The chain guard has the decal from the balloon tire version, except the balloon tire chain guard was always one color. This could have been a middleweight Jaguar "restored" with a lot of stray parts, many of which could be re-pops. Like @phantom said, a rider.
 
1955 Jags did not have tanks, and they did not have the pinstripe decal on the seat tube like the one it has. That is the seat tube decal from 1959-1962. The frame and chainguard are the real 1955 Jag deal, but everything else is wrong. Middleweight wheels and fenders, and the fender light is wrong. Correct 1955 Jags were balloon tired bikes and were usually 3 speeds. That is a pieced together bike.
