Every component has been rebuilt or replaced in this Show/Diver by Classic Showcase. No expense was spared in this correct and proper restoration. The craftsmanship is superb as well as the fit. Perfection was our goal in restoring this original numbers matching E-Type Roadster. It is a superb example that includes the Heritage Certificate.

The 3.8 engine was rebuilt to factory specification with new pistons, bearings, valves, guides, seals, timing chain, head completely rebuilt, rebuilt carburetors, clutch, all new brake parts, drive shaft balanced, restored shocks, gas tank restored and epoxy sealed, rebuilt fuel pump, all electrical components, gauges, knobs, switches rebuilt, re-screened or replaced, top bows and seat frames powder coated, new exhaust system, rear end completely rebuilt as well as the transmission.

The body was stripped, fitted, repainted, then color sanded and buffed. New rubber seals and grommets and gaskets. All the trim and bright work has been replaced or replated, new interior, carpet, panels, dash, and seats. This was a comprehensive restoration with much time spent on detail and quality. This is one of the finest examples for sale in the world today. With all numbers matching and a DVD movie of the restoration process comes with the car.

Auction description:
LOT: 303

CHASSIS NO: 878014
AUCTION RESULTS: Lot was Sold at a price of $132,000

The example we are pleased to offer is a spectacular matching numbers 1963 Jaguar 3.8 liter Series I XKE Roadster. Having undergone a complete, no expense spared restoration to the highest degree by Jaguar specialists Classic Showcase, the XKE displays a quality of craftsmanship and fit rarely seen. Every component has been rebuilt or replaced not only to be flawless but to be factory correct as well.

The 3.8-liter engine was rebuilt to factory specifications with new pistons, bearings, valves, guides, seals, and timing chain. The intake system was completely rebuilt and a new exhaust system was installed. The drivetrain was completely rebuilt which included a new clutch, a full rebuild of the transmission, balancing the drive shaft, and a rebuilt rear end. Additionally, new shocks and brakes were fitted and all the electrical components, gauges, knobs and switches were rebuilt, re-screened or replaced as needed. The entire fuel delivery system was restored which included an epoxy sealed gas tank, a rebuilt fuel pump, new lines and rebuilt carburetors.

The aesthetic side of the restoration was just as thorough as the mechanical side. The body was stripped, fitted, repainted in dark blue, then color sanded and buffed. The top bows and seat frames were powder coated. New rubber seals and grommets and gaskets were installed. All the trim and brightwork has been replaced or re-plated. The gray interior is all-new, including the carpet, panels, dash and seats.

Still fresh from the restoration, having been driven less than 100 miles for test purposes, it is with confidence that we say this is one of the finest examples for sale in the world today. With all matching numbers, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate of Authenticity and a DVD movie documenting the restoration process included in the sale of the car, nothing about this E-Type is left to question.

Overall, this is a near perfect car in a lovely color combination. In its current condition it is fully useable on the road and show field and it will undoubtedly prove to be a winner at future JCNA concours events around the country.

This car is a spectacular matching-numbers Series I E-Type Roadster. Having undergone a complete, no-expense-spared restoration by Jaguar specialists Classic Showcase of Oceanside, California, it displays a very high degree of craftsmanship.

The engine was rebuilt to factory specifications, with new pistons, bearings, valves, guides, seals and timing chain. The intake system was rebuilt, and a new exhaust system was installed.

The aesthetic side of the restoration was just as thorough. The body was stripped and repainted in dark blue, then color-sanded and buffed. The top bows and seat frames were powder coated.

Overall, this is a superb car in a lovely color combination. In the current owner's collection since 2007, it has been maintained meticulously and sparingly driven.
