Need help with hood ornament

hi I am hoping someone here can help me or direct me where to go. I have the hood ornament off my fathers 1950's Jaguar and am wondering what the value if any there is to it. Also can someone tell me what year the vehicle was. I have attached the only picture I have of the vehicle.

I can tell you that it is a heavy leaping cat with red eyes. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum Mistyk13,

A Jaguar Mk I, one of 27000 manufactured between 1956 and 1960. At that a time, UK vehicle registration was the responsibility of Local Authorities and the registration number XUL 115 was issued by London C.C. in 1959.

Unfortunately the mascot will have more sentimental than cash value.
