Vehicle Location Oceanside, California 92056

VIN #1E10734

Condition Excellent

Our team has finally completed the restoration of this E-Type, and we are happy to announce it is now available for purchase! This 1965 Jaguar E-Type is a numbers-matching example that was a great candidate for a show/driver restoration. The XKE's first owner purchased the roadster new in Paris, France, and retains its original color combination of Opalescent Silver Grey with a Black interior, and features several unique aesthetic and mechanical differences, including Euro-style marker lights. The E-Type was built and commissioned from the factory with an 8:1 compression, but our team decided to go to a 9:1 compression on the pistons to give the XKE more power – which is what most owners prefer. We decided to keep the look of the car completely original as it came out of the factory in 1965.

We started the XKE’s restoration process by first evaluating, inspecting, and photographing the car in its entirety. We then disassembled it, stripped it to bare metal, placed it on a rotisserie, metal finished, leaded, with all body parts fitted to the car as well as the chrome, primer preparation, sealer, paint, base and clear coat, finally color sanding and buffing to a beautiful Opalescent Silver Grey finish that you see on the XKE’s body today. Most of the E-Type’s mechanical systems and components were rebuilt, serviced, restored or replaced as needed, including: the engine and transmission, as well as the rear end and suspension. In addition, the engine block was hot tanked, line bored, and magnafluxed - which included all machining and calibration along with new pistons, rings, bearings, new fuel and water pump and machining the crank. Also installed were new valves, guides, seals, timing chain, a completely rebuilt head, restoring and rebuilding of the SU carburetors, a new clutch system, fly wheel machining, new hydraulic system, new u joints installed and balancing of the drive shaft, new shocks throughout, and a rebuilt fuel pump. All other systems such as the electrical, hydraulic, cooling and fuel systems have been being restored or replaced where needed, and the car has received a new wire harness, rebuilt power brake booster, rubber, and grommets. All electrical components have been gone through, which includes the gauges, knobs, and switches - all of which have been restored, rescreened, or replaced as needed. The car has also received a new exhaust system, and a new battery. The gas tank has been hot tanked, painted, and epoxy sealed, and a new stock radiator has been installed. All bright work has been re-plated, and a new windshield has been fitted and installed in our assembly area. Our master trimmer in our upholstery department created and installed a complete new custom tailored and fit interior in the correct materials, which included a full restoration of the car’s seats, frames, top bows, and convertible top.
