Description
Purchased this car in 2013. At the time the car had great paint work good suspension, wheels and other components however suffered from a faulty engine and some questionable wiring. A couple of years later I decided to begin to create my ultimate E-type Jaguar and had the engine fully rebuilt by a renowned jaguar book author and specialist. I had previously had the carburetors rebuilt as well, the car is equipped with the Triple SU carbs that provide great power. I have over the years had the radiator changed to a fully aluminum sports radiator from Classic Jaguar with a 2500 CFM Fan. I have also installed Wilwood performance brakes and lines. During the engine rebuilt I purchased a five speed sports transmission from a Guy Broad motorsports in the UK and had it installed. The wheels and tires are in perfect condition and the car sits on the redline tires. The paint work on the car is excellent throughout except for splitting on the hood which was damaged during its storage and engine rebuild. There are also two superficial scuffs on the back which I believe will polish out very easily. The exhaust system is also in perfect condition and I have receipts for a lot of the work done going back to 2011. The interior is not period correct and the car does not have a heater or washer bottle. The previous owner at some point had the front headlights covered as they would have normally been open. The headliner is in great condition. The spare wheel is there although the parts to hold it down are missing. I have replaced the fuel sender and seals. I have a jaguar heritage certificate for the car that shows it was originally manufactured in October 1967 and was delivered with the color opalescent maroon with black interior.
