These increasing values are a little bittersweet. These are great cars that you could buy for peanuts. Hobbyists on a budget could have cool car for very little buy-in. Nowadays, not so much.
I've been wanting another Series III. We'll see what happens. I may have to buy a newer model Jag...which I wanted to avoid.
Oh well! Time marches on and things change !

I don’t suppose it’s worth trying to say that the badge is indeed perfectly horizontal but the car is not? 
You have a good eye - the badge is indeed about 1.5mm higher on the left than on the right. The car had a full glass out/trim off respray several years before I bought her which is when that would have happened.

Jaguars were never perfect from the factory, these cars were hand built, deffects happen, especially where no guide holes were present to mount badges.
if you want to relocate the badge or badges, use a hair dryer to heat the tape.
