A D,
Had to chuckle when you discussed a possible next time :-) Lovely job on this car and thanks for bringing one back from its cardboard box prison! More pictures please.

Hi, body number typo corrected, all 2+2 body numbers start with a "5" after the "4E". It was "4E61296"

Sellers description:
I did so much to this car that remembering everything is a challenge!
I bought this car in 1996 as a "box of parts" (may parts were missing). This was an abandoned restoration from I think the early 1980's. From 1997 to 2002 I restored the car to driving condition. I have the receipts ( a 2" thick file) many pics and a log of the body welding progress. I am selling the car because I no longer have the time and I do not want the car to sit, I would rather see it go to "a good home".

I did the major body welding and assembly.Effectively replacing the lower 3" of the body. Replaced parts include, left and right floors, outer sills, complete trunk floor, front fenders, front under pan, lower fire wall, both doors.
All small parts were sand blasted and cleaned.
The engine, clutch, rear suspension, drive shaft, steering rack, master cylinders (stainless steel sleeved) were rebuilt "as new" by a Jaguar specialists. The gearbox was cleaned, inspected and resealed by the same specialist.

There has been 7100 miles driven since restoration.

The final fit and painting was done by a professional restoration shop.

The following was replaced.
All wiring, Gas tank, all electrical items (except 4 small gauges, toggle switches and tach)
The speedometer was rebuilt.

Many of the chrome items were restored.(bumpers, windscreen chrome, drip channel chrome, tail lights, upper door chrome)

Upgrades include.
Dayton 6" wire wheels, Perelli P4000 tires.
Uprated tortion bars.
Stainless Steel exhaust and headers.
Gear reduction starter.
Pertronics distributor.
Upgraded alternator.
Upgraded cooling fan.
Spin on oil filter (still have the original assy)
Stainless front brake cylinders.
Stainless flex hoses.
Stainless sleeved master cylinders.
15" upgraded steering wheel..
Adjustable tortion bar tie plate.

The interior is OK but should be worked on.

I have the uninstalled upper door chrome.
The only mechanical issues are the roll up windows need adjustment and repair, and the rear window demist does not work.
There is a 6" scratch between the left front wheel and headlight.

The back seat does not swing forward. (I have a dissembled upper rear seat with the swing mech.)
I have some extra interior parts, window regulators,

I is easier to think of what I did NOT replace/rebuild !
