The car on offer has been restored by marque specialists at Classic Showcase in Oceanside, California. The vehicle was stripped to bare metal, placed on a rotisserie, metal-finished, leaded, and, along with all of the body parts and chrome, fitted to the car. The car was then primed, sealed, painted with a base clear coat, color-sanded, and buffed in Opalescent Silver Grey. All components were rebuilt to factory specifications, including the original engine block, the transmission, the rear end, and the suspension. Finally, all of the chrome trim was replated. The car also received a new tan leather interior, which was made from the proper matching materials. With no expense spared, great attention to detail was paid to ensure the car had the superb fit and finish of a high-level restoration. A DVD of the restoration is included with the car.

This E-Type is perfect for the buyer or collector who always wanted an exceptional Jaguar Fixed Head Coupe. We would recommend close inspection to this fine, highly collectible example, which is ready for the show circuit and driving enjoyment.
