MS CLASSIC CARS INVESTED A TOTAL OF $9,655.51 SERVICING THIS VEHICLE INCLUDING PARTS AND LABOR. MS CLASSIC CARS ALSO INVESTED $600.00 IN DETAILING THE VEHICLE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON SEPTEMBER 20TH, 1967. IT DELIVERED TO MARQUIS MOTORS LOCATED AT 900 SOUTH COAST HIGHWAY IN LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA. IT WAS SOLD NEW TO A GENTLEMAN NAMED JAMES HENKEL WHO LIVED AT 2575 DAVIS, IN CARLSBAD CALIFORNIA. HE KEPT ALL THE ORIGINAL OWNERS MANUALS BUT HE ALSO KEPT ALL THE REGISTRATIONS AND SERVICE DOCUMENTS FROM DAY ONE. YES, THIS CAR COMES WITH REGISTRATIONS DATING BACK FROM THE BEGINNING AND THROUGHOUT OWNERSHIP UNTIL 2004. THE ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA BLACK PLATES THAT MATCH THE REGISTRATIONS WERE KEPT AND INCLUDED. THERE ARE ALSO 100+ SERVICE INVOICES THAT ARE IN DATE ORDER. AS DOCUMENTED ON THE SERVICE RECORDS JAMES DROVE AND ENJOYED THIS CAR ON A REGULAR BASIS FOR 26 YEARS! HE INVESTED A SMALL FORTUNE IN SERVICING THE CAR INCLUDING AN ENGINE REBUILD ON NOVEMBER 11TH, 1976 WITH 89,640 MILES. JAMES DECIDED TO TRADE THE CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A NEW CAR ON DECEMBER 20TH, 1994. AT THE TIME OF TRADE IN THE CAR HAD 125,821 MILES. THE NAME OF THE DEALERSHIP WAS BAUER MOTORS JAGUAR WHICH WAS LOCATED AT 2001 SOUTH MANCHESTER AVENUE IN ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA. A PURCHASE AGREEMENT ALONG WITH A BUSINESS CARD FROM THE SALES PERSON AT DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTS THIS TRANSACTION. TWO DAYS AFTER JAMES TRADED IN THE JAGUAR IT WAS SOLD TO GENTLEMAN NAMED KARL SENDE WHO LIVED ON 28 LANCEWOOD IN IRVINE, CALIFORNIA. A COPY OF THE TITLE DOCUMENTS THIS INFORMATION. LIKE JAMES, KARL WAS A PROUD SECOND OWNER AND HE ALSO KEPT ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS. THIS CAR OBVIOUSLY WASN'T A DAILY DRIVER FOR KARL BASED ON THE MILEAGE HE DROVE IT. ON JANUARY 4TH, 1999 KARL DECIDED TO HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILT AGAIN WITH 134,416 MILES. THIS ENGINE REBUILD IS FULLY DOCUMENTED WITH INVOICES FROM BRITISH AUTO SPECIALISTS TOTALING ALMOST $12,000.00. KARL OWNED AND ENJOYED THE CAR FOR 12 YEARS! IN JANUARY OF 2007 HE DECIDED TO TRADE IT IN FOR ANOTHER CAR. AT THE TIME OF THE TRADE IN THE CAR HAD 137,888 MILES. THE NAME OF THE DEALERSHIP WAS SPORTS CAR L.A LOCATED ON 1525 PACIFIC AVENUE IN SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA. THE DEALERSHIP LISTED THE CAR ON EBAY IMMEDIATELY AND SOLD IT ON JANUARY 12TH, 2007 TO A GENTLEMAN NAMED RONALD SHEARER WHO LIVES IN NEW BALTIMORE, MICHIGAN. THIS TRANSACTION IS FULLY DOCUMENTED WITH LOAN CONTRACT, CASHIERS CHECK, EBAY ADVERTISEMENT AND SHIPPING COMPANY RECEIPT. RONALD WAS EXPERIENCED WITH AUTOMOBILE RESTORATIONS AND DECIDED TO DO AN EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR RESTORATION. THE ENGINE WAS JUST REBUILT AND ONLY HAD BEEN DRIVEN 3,400 MILES SINCE COMPLETION SO THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO ANY ENGINE WORK. HE ALSO DECIDED TO LEAVE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, TRUNK COMPARTMENT AND UNDERCARRIAGE MOSTLY ORIGINAL. HE STRIPPED THE INTERIOR AND THE EXTERIOR. THE EXTERIOR RECEIVED A BEAUTIFUL CREAM PAINT JOB AND ALL THE TRIM WAS RESTORED. THE INTERIOR WAS CHANGED FROM BLUE TO BLACK AND COMPLETELY RESTORED. THERE ARE MANY RECEIPTS THAT ALSO DOCUMENT THIS AS WELL. IN 2016 HE DECIDED TO SELL THE CAR AND HERE WE ARE TODAY. MS CLASSIC CARS JUMPED ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THIS RARE E-TYPE AND WANTED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. WE SENT THE CAR TO WELL-KNOWN HIGH TECH FABRICATION WHICH IS LOCATED IN MIDDLETOWN, RHODE ISLAND TO COMPLETELY DETAIL THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, TRUNK COMPARTMENT AND UNDERCARRIAGE. WE INVESTED ALMOST $10,000! THE MONEY WAS WELL WORTH THE WORK. CHECK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC JAGUAR E-TYPE!

JAGUAR HERITAGE TRUST CERTIFICATE PRINTED ON DECEMBER 9TH, 2016.

THE EXTERIOR OF THIS 1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 1.5 FHC IS SIMPLY STUNNING. THE GENTLEMAN WHO WAS THE THIRD OWNER STRIPPED THE CAR OF ALL ITS HARDWARE AND PAINT. IT'S BELIEVED TO RETAIN ALL ITS ORIGINAL SHEET METAL. THE BODY IS VERY STRAIGHT AND ALL THE GAPS ARE EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. THE BODY LINES OF A JAGUAR E-TYPE ARE SO NICE. IT'S A ROLLING PIECE OF ARTWORK. THE HOOD, DOORS AND REAR HATCH OPEN AND CLOSE BEAUTIFULLY. THE CAR WAS PAINTED IN ITS ORIGINAL FACTORY COLOR OF CREAM. THE CORRECT GLASURIT PAINT WAS USED. THIS COLOR IS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS IN PERSON. IT'S VERY SOFT BUT ALSO VERY RICH. THE PAINT ON THIS CAR IS DEFINITELY SHOW QUALITY THROUGHOUT. WE DID A COMPLETE COMPOUND AND BUFF OF THE PAINT SO IT LOOKS LIKE GLASS. DURING THE PAINT WORK ALL OF THE BRIGHTWORK WAS SENT OUT TO BE RESTORED. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE SPENT AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY. BETWEEN THE PAINT AND THE BRIGHTWORK THE CAR LOOKS AMAZING. TO ADD THE ICING ON THE CAKE THE CAR IS WRAPPED WITH NEW WIRE WHEELS AND COOKER REDLINE TIRES. THIS IS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE SEXIEST CARS I'VE EVER OWNED!

THE NEW BLACK INTERIOR COMPLIMENTS THE EXTERIOR CREAM COLOR PERFECTLY. THE THIRD OWNER ALSO RESTORED THE ENTIRE INTERIOR WHICH WASN'T CHEAP. HE ORDERED WHATS REFERRED TO AS A MAJOR INTERIOR TRIM KIT. AS THE JAGUAR HERITAGE CERTIFICATE AND A FEW PIECES OF DOCUMENTATION INDICATE THIS CAR ORIGINALLY HAD LIGHT BLUE INTERIOR. I'M SURE MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THIS ISN'T THE MOST ATTRACTIVE COLOR. I THINK IT WAS A GREAT DECISION CHANGING THE INTERIOR TO BLACK. THIS INTERIOR IS VERY NICE AND COMFORTABLE. OTHER THEN THE SPEEDOMETER BOUNCING SLIGHTLY WHEN YOU TAKE OFF AND THE REAR DOME LIGHT NOT WORKING, EVERYTHING IN THE INTERIOR IS IN WORKING ORDER SUCH AS THE GAUGES, DIRECTIONALS, HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS, HEAT, HORN, RADIO, ETC. SITTING IN THIS CAR IS LIKE SITTING IN AN AIRPLANE COCKPIT. THE REAR TRUNK AREA IS ALL IN GREAT CONDITION. WHEN THE CAR WAS AT HIGH-TECH FABRICATION THEY REMOVED THE SPARE TIRE AND REPAINTED THE TRUNK WELL. THE ORIGINAL BAG WITH SOME JACK TOOLS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SALE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO TOOL BAG.

THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS VERY DETAILED THROUGHOUT. ALL OF THE FACTORY TAGS AND NUMBERS HAVE BEEN VERIFIED AS MATCHING NUMBERS. MOST OF THE MONEY I SPENT WITH HIGH-TECH FABRICATION WAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE ENGINE WAS RECENTLY REBUILT AND HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN MUCH SINCE COMPLETION. IT WAS EVERYTHING AROUND THE ENGINE THAT REALLY NEEDED TLC. THE THIRD OWNER TOLD ME THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIREWALL, FRAME AND UNDER THE NOSE WAS ORIGINAL PAINT. HIGH TECH FABRICATION REMOVED THE ENTIRE NOSE AND A LOT OF THE PARTS. THEY PAINTED THE FIREWALL, UNDER THE NOSE AND THE FRAME. THEY ALSO PAINTED A LOT OF PARTS, REPLACED A LOT OF PARTS AND ADDED A BUNCH OF ENGINE DECALS. THEY USED A JAGUAR RESTORATION BOOK TO MAKE MANY ITEMS AS CORRECT AS POSSIBLE. THEY EVEN REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A CORRECT STYLE BATTERY. AN INVOICE FROM HIGH TECH FABRICATION IS PICTURED BELOW WHICH FULL DOCUMENTS EVERYTHING THEY DID TO THE CAR. THIS CAR RETAINS THE ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS 4.2L ENGINE. WE'VE VERIFIED ALL THE NUMBERS. THE ENGINE STARTS AND RUNS BEAUTIFULLY. THE ENGINE IS SETUP WITH THE TRIPLE CARBURETORS WHICH WORK WONDERFULLY. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD YOU PULL THE CHOKE OUT ALL THE WAY AND AS SOON AS YOU TURN THE KEY IT STARTS WITHIN SECONDS. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS YOU MOVE THE CHOKE IN A FEW NOTCHES AND THEN AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER 30 SECONDS YOU MOVE IT IN AGAIN A FEW NOTCHES UNTIL SHES IDLING WITHOUT ANY CHOKE. ONCE IT'S WARM YOU CAN START IT OVER AND OVER WITH THE BUMP OF THE KEY WITH NO ISSUES. THE ENGINE PURRS AND DOESN'T OVERHEAT. THE ENGINE IS COUPLED WITH A 4-SPEED GEARBOX THAT SHIFTS VERY SMOOTHLY. IT'S A GREAT FEELING TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS CAR AND DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD. COMPARE THIS ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO OTHER E-TYPES CURRENTLY BEING ADVERTISED ON THE MARKET FOR SALE. YOU'LL AGREE THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES.

THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THIS CAR IS NICELY DETAILED. HIGH TECH FABRICATION DID A REALLY NICE JOB DETAILING THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THEY CLEANED A LOT OF ITEMS AND ALSO PAINTED A LOT OF ITEMS. THEY ALSO REMOVED THE EXHAUST AND POLISHED THE SYSTEM SO IT REALLY SHINES COMING OUT THE REAR. ONCE AGAIN, COMPARE THIS UNDERCARRIAGE TO OTHER E-TYPES CURRENTLY BEING ADVERTISED ON THE MARKET FOR SALE. YOU'LL AGREE THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER EXAMPLES.

THE 1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE 1.5 SERIES FHC YOU'RE LOOKING AT IS A BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC CAR THAT HAS MANY OF THE THINGS COLLECTORS ARE LOOKING FOR. IT'S BELIEVED THIS CAR RETAINS ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEETMETAL. IT RETAINS IT'S ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS 4.2L ENGINE. THIS CAR WASN'T A DISASTER PRIOR TO THE RESTORATION WORK. IT WAS A VERY WELL KEPT CAR THAT JUST NEEDED ODDS AND ENDS SUCH AS PAINT, INTERIOR TRIM, MECHANICS, ETC. POINT BEING IS THIS WASN'T A BASKET CASE THAT SOMEONE STARTED WITH FROM THE BEGINNING. THIS CAR WAS ALL THERE AND JUST NEEDED SOME LOVE. THE BODY LINES ARE VERY NICE AND THE PAINT IS BEAUTIFUL. THE NEW BLACK INTERIOR IS RICH AND COMFORTBLE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS NICELY DETAILED. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.
