Chassis 1R26138 was originally an American specification car which comes fresh from a full and complete restoration, with all parts supplied by either SNK Baratt in Britain *or* Bassett Jaguar of Rhode Island, America. The engine has been totally overhauled with new cylinder head, pistons, timing chains and sprockets and a plus-10 thou crankshaft regrind, in addition to having the carburettors fully rebuilt. The gearbox and clutch have both also been subject to a complete overhaul, including new bearings and seals, as has the differential. In addition, the electrical system has been totally rewired using restored original gauges, the brakes have been thoroughly overhauled and new stainless steel exhaust system and new Koni shock absorbers fitted. The bodywork, meanwhile, has been restored using ‘cadmium-dipped’ bolts and washers, and the car has been repainted to a very high standard using DuPont paint in British Racing Green, while the biscuit interior has been refurbished with new high quality leather. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a freshly restored, road-ready example of one of Jaguar''s greatest ever sportscars and with no additional work required.

La type E est directement issue des modèles E2A qui s'illustrèrent notamment aux 24 heures de Mans, engagés par Cunningham en 1960. Alliant une ligne stupéfiante pour l'époque à des performances très élevées, on comprend le succès qu'elle a eu dès sa présentation au Salon de Genève en 1961 dans sa version 3.8 litres. La 4,2 litres série 1 est apparue en octobre 1964. Sur alésé de 87 mm à 92 mm, le moteur n'acquiert pas une puissance supplémentaire, mais offre un couple plus satisfaisant. La type E série 2 est la première réelle évolution stylistique et technique du modèle, elle apparut en octobre 1968. Elle présente beaucoup de modifications du aux normes américaine : agrandissement de la calandre, phares avants découvert, feux arrières sous les pare chocs, console de bord à basculeurs...

La voiture présentée de couleur British Racing Green, sellerie cuir biscuit à fait l'objet d'une restauration intégrale depuis la caisse mise à nu. Le moteur a été entièrement refait avec des pièces neuves ainsi que les périphériques : carburateurs, collecteurs, échappement inox, faisceau électrique, alternateur, pompes, boîte de vitesses, différentiel et embrayage, trains complet avant/arrière, freins, amortisseurs, roues, pneumatiques et joints d'ouvrants.
La mise en route, la révision et les derniers réglages de mise au point pour plus de 2300 euros ont été effectué au GARAGE ALLIROL à Saint Etienne en octobre 2008.

Carte grise de collection
30/40 000 euros

This car finished in British Racing Green with biscuit leather interior benefited of a thorough restoration from the bare metal. The engine and all the ancillaries had been completely rebuilt with new parts : carburettors, exhaust system, manifolds, electric harness, alternator, pumps, gearbox, differential and clutch, front and back axles, brakes, dampers, wheels, tyres and rubber seals. The last tuning, starting and checking up had been done by Garage Alliron in Saint-Etienne in October 2008.

Estimation 30 000 - 40 000 €
Sold for 35,741 €

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.
