Have owned the car for 30 odd years (very odd)
Decided to get a professional to rebuild her. Car now is probably the best in California!
Have done several upgrades but apart from the wheels you cannot tell from the outside. Had to make it fit to drive in sunny California without overheating for a start. had jags in England, was born in the birthplace of Jaguar (blackpool).

Crevier Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1963 Jaguar XKE Roadster or OTS. Original California black plate car purchased by current owner in 1978. Recent six figure rotisserie restoration by marque experts to as new delivered condition and is ready for the show field.
Completely stripped and put in jig. Engine rebuilt as original (no high performance modifications)
Prior to restoration the car has travelled just over 65,000 original miles. Less than 1000 miles since restoration by B and A in San Marcos California.
Rear axle rebuilt, new discs, springs and shocks, front calipers rebuilt and moved to rear.
Front suspension rebuilt, new shocks and oversize torsion bars with XK's Unlimited vernier adjustment.
4 piston Willwood caliper and vented rotor brakes.
To cope with the additional effort needed to use the better brakes a Jaguar e type series 2 brake booster fitted.
Aluminum radiator with better fan than original (original fan can go with car)
To cope with the extra draw to use the fan an alternator built into the Lucas generator housing fitted.
Electronic ignition installed.
5 speed trans and light weight flywheel fitted. Original (numbers matching) trans goes with the car.
Extensive use of sound/heat insulation material used. Transmission housing stays cool.
Colour matching seat belts.
Hidden radio antenna.
No wing mirrors fitted (like the original)

Dayton 15x6 (D=3.5) , center laced chrome wheels with stainless steel spokes (with correct curly hubs).

Sellers description:
This 1963 Jaguar E-Type happens to be the Roadster right now that simply takes our breath away. Curves from here to there, in a striking red colour that just shines in the sun. This style and design of this car has both historical and cultural design significance, and this refreshed model offered a unique opportunity to join the ranks of ownership. The Jaguar was bought "fully restored" from Crevier Classic Cars in Costa Mesa, and was shipped by the previous owner to Classic Jaguar in Texas for a complete mechanical overhaul. Pictures of the refurbish are on their site. It has a Stage 1 engine rebuild with Webber carbs and tuned extractors as well as a Classic Jaguar 5-speed gearbox. To achieve concourse status, the paint could use refreshing, but it is otherwise in perfect condition. Numbers matching car - don't delay- these classics are blue chip investments. This open roof roadster for 2 is ready for a new driver.
