Vehicle Description
This Jaguar XKE Series III has a silver exterior complemented by a
black interior. It is powered by a V12 engine mated to an automatic
transmission with increased horsepower, smaller chrome bumperettes,
full instrumentation, newly installed air conditioning components
as well as a recent service. This E-Type was a one-family owned car
since new. It was locally serviced and maintained by Carlsbad
British Motorcars of Carlsbad, CA. Classic Showcase recently
acquired the E-Type from the family and has performed numerous
services and aesthetic improvements. The upholstery department
restored the interior of the XKE, the seats received new foam and
new diaphragms, and the seat covers were then reinstalled; the
center console was also restored. Classic Showcase also made new
door and rear hatch door panels and sourced and installed a new
lower dash package tray. The rear hatch glass received a new seal,
and the frame was painted while the door was off the car. The
window mechanisms were lubricated and serviced, and the E-Types
steering wheel was cleaned and refurbished. Some scratches and
small scrapes were spot-painted followed by a wet-sanding and
buffing to the car. The bonnet required cleaning, stripping,
caulking, and then prime, paint and a clear coat. A servicing of
the XKEs engine was performed, sorting all the electrical wiring
and installing new rubber on the splash panels. There was a full
service to the cars air conditioning system that included
installing a new compressor, switch, evaporator, seals, evacuated,
flushed the system, installed new 134-A freon, restoring cooling
fans, the cowl assembly, changed fluids, filters, hoses, clamps and
air filters, as well as performing a comprehensive cleanup and
repaint of components. The engine and undercarriage were
pressure-washed. New exhaust hangers and other miscellaneous
hardware were installed. The E-Type comes complete with an owner
manual and an extensive folder of receipts for previous work
performed.
