Vehicle description
Hello and thank you for looking at what I believe is the best Series 1, E Type deal that I have seen in quite some time. It is a solid, straight example, with absolutely solid floors, rockers, quarter panels, boot floor, sub frame and chassis legs. The previous owner, purchased from Welsh Enterprises in the early 90"s and placed the car in dry storage.
While he enjoyed his E Roadster, he performed the following work on this series one. He removed the rear suspension unit, and cleaned all of the undercoating from the undercarriage. While the suspension was out, he stripped and cleaned the area above and around the rear suspension, then gave it a nice epoxy coating. The inner rear fenders are clean smooth epoxy, and completely rust free. The floors were also cleaned and sprayed with protective primer. He rebuilt the rear suspension and replaced the rear coil overs. He went through the brake system, including the rear calipers.
The previous owner also rebuilt the triple SU HD-8 carburetors and made sure the oil remained fresh. The fuel tank is brand new, as well as all fuel lines. There is a brand new, SU Fuel Pump, that comes with the car, in case you need a spare. Other misc. parts include, a brand new pair of taillight assemblies. The Care is complete, including the original air cleaner assembly. The car is the perfect candidate for a concourse restoration. It is very straight, rust free and original. It is mechanically sound, with good oil pressure, and does not smoke or burn oil. Amazingly, it has no oil leaks, either.
Even with what"s going on now, the series one E-Type two place coupe, has gone up in value, over the last two months. It"s very hard to find a solid original example these days. Comes with Jaguar Heritage Certificate.
Bid with confidence, as I have been buying, working on and selling Jaguar E Types, for over 30 years. Check my E-Type feedback history. I have been selling collector automobiles, here on eBay, since 1998. We Ship Worldwide. Simply send us your zip code, or preferred port, for a fast quote.
Thank You!
