Fahrzeugbeschreibung
The Jaguar E-Type has many paradigms regarding its diverse attributes. Everything from race winning Twin Cam power to streamlined iconic styling. It is a car that combines many of the best design and engineering techniques all culminating into one of the best looking and driving cars from the 1960’s. In its contemporary setting, the E-Type is still placed at the top of the scale in lists like the “100 Most Beautiful Cars”. Even in its glory days the most exclusive of manufactures claimed its beauty (Enzo Ferrari). It is no real surprise that today it remains the must have collector car, and even if you’re only going to have one cherished car, the Jaguar E-Type must be it.
The example on offer here was produced and dispatched to Jaguar Cars, NY, USA in January 1964. It arrived in to its first owner exactly as viewed today, in Opalescent Silver Blue with a Black leather interior, which it still retains today. Thanks to its accompanying JDHT Certificate, you know that this is a fully numbers matching example and remarkably original. Known history and very complete down to its original books, tools jack and hammer. Unfortunately the JDHT Certificate does not divulge the first owner. Fortunately, the prior owner (1993-2013) was able to confirm that this was indeed a two owner car.
In 1993 the car received a major restoration by a local marque specialist, that covered the entirety of the steering, suspension, and braking systems as well as a total engine sorting and related maintenance on various systems. It was also at this time that a total repaint in the original color was completed. Thankfully, the totally original interior was preserved at this time and is still installed today. It is safe to say the car was well sorted at this point, in order mechanically, cosmetically fresh and a very nice driver quality example overall. In 2008 in an effort to freshen the car once more as it had less than 1,000 miles contributed since its restoration in 1993, the engine was removed and a full rebuild commissioned. Completed by Skips Automotive Machining in Lincolnshire, IL, the work entailed a total breakdown and rebuild of all components. Including balancing the crank, new pistons, rings, bearings, and a totally rebuild head, water pump, started, generator and rebuilt carburetors amongst other systems; all of which is documented and included with the car. During this time the suspension was also gone over and updated as well with new ball joints and bushings where needed, as well as a new clutch. With little miles since the restoration in 1993 and only a couple hunderd miles contributed since the total engine rebuild and updating, you can say this is a freshly restored E-Type Coupe with only 1,800 miles on it since completion.
Little after I bought the Jaguar, I commissioned Ragtops and Roadsters in PA to bring the car up to date since it has had very few miles since completion. A proper servicing was ordered which included adjusting of the valves and timing, a complete fluid and filters change, brake bleeding along with a general tune up of the car. Today it presents well both mechanically and cosmetically.
From the outside you can see a nice consistent paint job that is not concours but very nice throughout; easily local show quality and enjoyable with a deep luster and the correct shade of opalescent Silver Blue. The gaps are good but the doors could be slightly better although not in need of attention to be enjoyed. The bonnet and boot fit well, as does all of the chrome and glass. The panels are straight down the sides, the mouth retains proper thin metal and the car does not reveal any poor metal work or show evidence of filler use anywhere. All factory spot welds are still present, which is a good sign this car was never rusted. The rockers and the floors are still original. The floors also have the benefit of still retaining the correct factory red primer, which is very much a rarity. The chrome is older but shows very well with no attention needed.
Upon entering the incredible original interior, you notice the clean door jams and good rubbers. The seats are incredibly original with heavy patina and absolutely smell of 1960’s Jaguar. The radio appears to be a 1980’s period accessory that has been nicely fitted some years ago. The carpets, kick panels, seats, shift boot, headliner, sun visors, rear compartment etc… are all still the originals and are absolutely incredible with nice patina. It put a very nice, rare, and original touch to this example and is something that is often missing from these cars, a real treat. The dash, gauges, and all components except the heater are in total working order. The gauges report proper engine oil pressure and temperature readings as expected from a sorted out example. The rear compartment shows the original stowage area, along with a replaced rear mat from an earlier car, however the original is included. Entering the spare wheel well shows a very correct and rust free spare wheel well with everything in order.
Upon starting this E-type, it only takes a turn of the key with no choke at all. It idles smoothly and well with great oil pressure even when warm. The temperature stays within an acceptable range and all other system work well. The clutches engages properly, the car goes easily into gear and accelerates well making good power. Inspecting the engine bay shows many points of originality as well as correctness and cleanliness, and a car that is very much in order overall. The underside is of the same consistency, rust free with no known issues either.Please inquire with any additional interest, I will be glad to assist you in detail. I can also assist you with shipping arrangements, if needed. Payment is due in cash no later than a week after the end of auction. Accepted methods are cash in person, certified checks and bank wire transfer. Checks must clear prior to the car being released from my premises! Good luck with bidding!
