The Interior

Interior restored to the 3.8l version original specifications

Black interior, aluminium dashboard

New carpets, seats and upholstery

Opening the door to this E-Type is like stepping into another world. 

It is impossible to miss the astonishingly well-executed restoration work which has been carried out here, with no part of the interior being left undisturbed. The fit and finish of the work completed is simply sensational. 

First, the seats have been fully renewed, with new wooden frames, new foam padding and beautifully stitched new leather covers. They are fantastic examples of the stylishly simple early E-Type seating, with their arched backs and subtle side support. 

Textured aluminium covers the dashboard — which supports a full complement of gauges and satisfyingly mechanical toggle switches — and this embossed metal sheeting is continued along the transmission tunnel, past the exquisitely minimalist chrome handbrake lever.

Pure wool carpets are fitted and we are told that they lie over a layer of soundproofing, which will make this a very refined car to drive. 

The driver is presented with a reassuringly large wooden-rimmed steering wheel and large principal gauges with a speedometer marked in kilometres per hour next to a tachometer with integrated analogue clock. And the vendor informs us that all the gauges have been dismantled, checked and overhauled where necessary. 

To the rear, the boot is lined with beautifully unblemished vinyl grained, there is a small fire extinguisher within easy reach, and under the floor is a full size wire spare wheel and a jack.

The Exterior 

Fantastic new paint work in Heritage correct color : Opalescent Golden Sand

Rare hard top in contrasting black 

New MWS wire wheels and tyres

Stepping back and looking at this E-Type, it is clear to see just how well the restoration has been carried out. In fact, we could spend hours just gazing upon this car’s fabulous design and impeccable craftsmanship. 

The paint colour chosen for this car is Opalescent Golden Sand, which we think gives the car a timeless appeal. The vendor informs us that during the restoration the bodywork was completely stripped to the bare metal, treated with epoxy, then repainted in this magnificent colour. 

Looking closely, the exterior trim and fittings is wonderfully presented. The chrome is bright and the rubber seals look fresh and supple. Glazing is original Triplex branded all round and is clear and bright. 

This E-Type is running on new MWS wire wheels and the vendor tells us that the tyres are new. Underneath, the good news continues, with everything appearing to be in order and no discernible corrosion we could see. 

One of the nicest features of this car is that it comes with a hardtop, said to be original, which looks great when fitted. Its contrasting black colour scheme complements the Golden sand paint on the body and makes this car really stand out. 

The brand new mohair hood is perfectly fitted and well stretched. It comes with two mohair hood covers, one black and one beige.

The Mechanics 

Original reconditioned cylinder head 

Cylinders compression tests at 180PSI with perfect engine oil pressure, as if the engine had just come out of the factory

New wiring harness

Supported by its new uprated mountings, the 3.8 litre straight-six engine in this early E-Type is said to have benefitted from mechanical attention during the restoration. 

This includes fully reconditioning the original cylinder head, fitting new valve seats and exhaust valve tappet guide clamps. The water pump has been restored, the aluminium radiator ventilated by the original fan combined with a very discreet electronic kenlowe additional fan bring the cooling system up to standard in all traffic conditions.

The front axle, with the original steering column and rack were reconditioned including new rubber bushes and ball joints. The rear axle was completely disassembled, fully restored and epoxy powder coated. All six shock absorbers have been replaced. A stainless steel exhaust system was also added. 

The vendor tells us that the original differential and Moss gearbox have been checked and found to be in perfect condition, and that the car has received a new clutch and hydraulic clutch cylinders. 

We are also told that the entire braking system has been renewed to the original specification, with new Dunlop and Girling pistons, original reconditioned master cylinder and servo and new kevlar brake pads. 

The wiring harness has been fully replaced and the electrical accessories are reportedly all original. 

Rare powerful PL Lucas headlights are fitted and all original electrical components work perfectly, powered by a vintage Lucas battery.

This 1964 Jaguar XKE is a left-hand-drive Series I open two-seater that was manufactured on May 26, 1964, before being released for distribution through Henlys of London for personal export. The car reportedly spent time in Switzerland and Monaco before it was relocated to France in 2009. The seller acquired the vehicle in 2021, and a subsequent two-year refurbishment involved disassembling and repainting the car in its current metallic beige color. Additional refurbishment work included retrimming the interior in black leather, installing a black mohair convertible top, overhauling the triple-carbureted 3.8-liter DOHC inline-six, and overhauling the rear end, suspension, fuel system, wiring, and gauges. An aluminum radiator and a Kenlowe cooling fan were added, and other equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, a black removable hardtop, 15” wire wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a stainless-steel exhaust system. This Series I E-Type roadster is now offered in France with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, refurbishment receipts and photos, a jack, two convertible boot covers, a car cover, and a Certificat d’immatriculation in the seller’s name.

Originally finished in Opalescent Silver Grey, the car is said to have been disassembled, stripped, and repainted in a shade intended to match Opalescent Golden Sand. The black removable hardtop has been retrimmed and repainted, and the black mohair convertible top is a replacement piece. Other features include covered Lucas PL700 tripod headlamps, a louvered hood, chrome-finished bumpers with overriders, bright trim, Triplex-branded glass, triple windshield wipers, and dual central stainless-steel exhaust outlets.

Chrome-finished replacement 15” Motor Wheel Service wire wheels are secured via two-eared knock-offs and are wrapped in Radar Dimax Classic tires. A Michelin spare is housed in the trunk along with a fire extinguisher and a jack. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs, with the rear units situated inboard. A refresh of the braking system during the refurbishment included rebuilds of the master cylinder, servo, and Dunlop/Girling calipers and the installation of Kevlar brake pads. The steering column and steering rack were reconditioned, and the suspension system was also overhauled during the project with replacement shock absorbers (six in total), ball joints, and bushings.

Originally trimmed in red, the cabin is fitted with low-back bucket seats that have been refurbished with replacement wooden frames, foam padding, and stitched black leather. Matching black door panels and black wool carpets fitted over a layer of soundproofing complement the interior. Additional features include a center console, a chrome handbrake lever, and aluminum console and dash trim.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of refurbished Smiths instrumentation including a 260-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline and an inset analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 74k kilometers (~46k miles), approximately 300 kilometers of which have been added under current ownership. Gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage are positioned in the center dash above toggle switchgear.

The 3.8L twin-cam straight-six features triple SU carburetors and was removed from the car and overhauled during the refurbishment. Work included reconditioning the cylinder head and water pump, fitting replacement valve seats and exhaust-valve-tappet guide clamps, replacing the wiring harness, and installing an electronic ignition system, a Lucas battery, and an aluminum radiator with a supplemental Kenlowe electric cooling fan.

The engine-block stamping is shown above, photographed during the refurbishment. Stampings on the cylinder head, transmission, and other components are provided in the gallery below.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Moss four-speed manual gearbox. The clutch, clutch cylinders, and flywheel were replaced as part of the refurbishment, a process that also involved the rear axle being disassembled, epoxy powdercoated, and refinished in black as well as the installation of a stainless-steel exhaust system.

An E-Type handbook, a maintenance chart, refurbishment records and photos, a car cover, and black and beige convertible boot covers will accompany the vehicle.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows factory equipment, chassis and engine numbers, the registration mark, distribution through Henlys of London, and a build date of May 26, 1964.

The car does not have a title, as it is registered in a country that does not issue titles for vehicles. It is being sold on a Certificat d’immatriculation registration document in the seller’s name.
