Restoration photos
Folder full of miscellaneous invoices and receipts
The car was restored over a few years after sitting for a long while, it is now complete and is ready to go. The owner has taken their time as well as putting in a huge amount of effort, finance, and pride into the restoration. The paperwork folder is an impressive backtracking exercise in documenting the car’s history and comes neatly organised in its own folder.
The Interior
Restored grey upholstery with blue trim
Wood rimmed steering wheel
Classic looking Radiomobile
All dials and gauges functioning as they should, even the clock
The interior is a grey leather upholstery trim with blue carpets and black dash and back section. It is in good condition with no rips, tears of excessive wearing of the seats. There is only a very small section of piping that has come undone on the centre console.
The carpets are clean, and the metal work underneath is in good shape too. The hood is a nice tight fit and easy to put up and down and the mechanism is in good shape too. Three-point seat belts give a little extra safety and come with embossed jaguar logos. All dials and gauges are reported to be working as intended and the car fired into life dutifully and idled well on the choke.
The Exterior
Classic looking blue on blue shows off the body lines well
Wire wheels are in good condition
All trim and chrome in good condition too
Twin exhausts give a lovely sound
The exterior of the E-types are one of their best qualities, achingly beautifully with long flowing lines and a huge bonnet to hide the straight six engine underneath. This car is in very good shape after being restored by the current owner.
There are very few (if any) dents of chips as the car hasn’t seen that many miles since being restored and as such the paint is in good condition with a fresh layer of wax to give it some more protection. Wire wheels are in good condition with little corrosion or damage, the chrome trim is the same. With the hood up the car has an extra level of sleekness and appeal and as shown in the photo gallery below, did a good job of keeping the rain out.
The Mechanics
4.2L straight six engine
Restored engine and transmission
Triple carburettors
Ready to be driven
The mechanics have been given a restorative treatment by the current owner to bring them back up to their fighting fit condition currently. The straight six fired up on cue and idled civilly whilst on and off choke. The car didn’t give any worrying noises on the short few meters manoeuvring around the photoshoot location and the owner reports that it drives well. All the frame of the car is restored and has little to no corrosion from what we could see. Everything works as it should, even the clock!
