Sellers description:
This is a Fully Restored 1965 Jaguar E-Type with 33k miles on it. It was locally owned and recently traded into our dealership for a new Jaguar. The Previous owner spent over $107K on just restoring the vehicle and worked on it for over 20+ years to get it to the top-notch condition it is in today!! You cannot find many of these classic Jaguars now days, especially in this conditon. We do have all of his records from restoring the vehicle in house as well. As well as all of the photos taken during the restoration process over the years. I did post some of the pics on here, but there are tons more of them from day 1 to present. We just got it in so it might not last very long.

Correction for this car's history. Bill Ragsdale's historical comments above actually apply to his car, 1E30553, and were mistakenly added to the record page of 1E30533. This car, 1E30533, received a full, bare-metal restoration by Muncie Imports as the above description indicates. We have all receipts and hundreds of photos that well document the process. It is currently located in the showroom of our Jaguar Rancho Mirage dealership and is advertised on their website as well as our indiGO Classic Cars site.

This particular car saw a comprehensive restoration that included the renewal of all mechanical and cosmetic aspects of the car from 2009 to 2011. This included the driveline, suspension, brakes, hydraulic system, paint and bodywork, chrome, and complete interior. There are receipts exceeding $107,000 in restorative work from this period. The car received several upgrades during the restoration as well, including aluminum radiator with electric fan, headers, air conditioning, aluminum dash trim, and headers.

In the last year, the car has seen additional sorting and detailing by its current fastidious owner at a cost of about $20,000. This has included repainting the bonnet and performing paint correction, fitting new correct mufflers, fitting correct steering wheel, and mechanical maintenance as required including tuning. It has been shown at the Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance, Rodeo Drive Concours, and was also displayed at the 2015 Quail Motorsports Gathering in Monterey. It comes with both FIVA ID and Heritage Certificate confirming that its original matching-numbers engine and cylinder head are still installed in the car.

The car makes an excellent cosmetic impression. The body is straight and the paintwork was performed to high standards. It is virtually unmarked and its condition is consistent with that required for cars shown at prestigious events like the Quail. The chrome is very good to excellent throughout with light scratches in a few places but the overall presentation is consistent with a freshly restored car. The lights and glass are in very good to excellent condition, with light wear to the windscreen and headlight covers. The lights and lenses are new throughout, including H4 headlamps and amber European market front and rear turn signal lenses. The wheels are in excellent shape.

The interior is in excellent shape, having been thoroughly restored to high standards. The leather upholstery is in as-new condition, as are the wool carpets. The dashboard was restored in its entirely, including instruments, switches, and dash pad. The car has full aluminum dashboard trim in the style of an early 3.8 liter E-Type and has rally clocks installed where the radio is typically fitted. The car has an MP3 player and phone charger in the arm rest compartment. The headliner was renewed as well, as was the luggage storage area. The spare is current mounted on the luggage compartment floor and retained with a leather strap but could easily be returned to its usual location. The spare tire well is in excellent shape. The spare has been restored and the jack bag with jack is present as well, as is a correct original tool roll.

The engine compartment is nicely detailed and is consistent with a high end driver. The carburetors and valve covers are nicely polished, and the engine and ancillaries are very clean. The car is fitted with headers and an aluminum radiator with electric fan.

The car runs and drives well. It starts easily with properly functioning choke and is well-tuned. The car accelerates impressively and sounds great although the tachometer is inoperative at this time. The gearbox shifts easily thanks to the synchromesh, and the brakes are effective and linear in operation. The steering is free of slop and the suspension controls the body well and providing plenty of feedback, making it possible to confidently drive the car with enthusiasm.

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully upgraded matching-numbers 4.2 liter Series I E-Type Coupe. A beautiful example with fantastic visual appeal, the car has been comprehensively restored in a timeless color combination and drives well. Thanks to the configuration of the E-Type coupe, it is also a surprisingly practical classic. E-Type coupes have appreciated considerably in recent years, and will likely continue to do so as more people become privy to their stylish and evocative motoring experience.
