Bought car in 2013.. totally original. .the engine had dropped a
valve seat
Stripped car down to the shell (see photo),fabricated new, thicker
sheet metal floors and strengthened tub at front frame rail
mounting points .
Installed 52,000 mile, 96 Jaguar XJS engine and transmission. Built
new motor mounts but NO frame rail modifications were needed. Fit
like a glove. Had new tuned exhaust headers professionally built,
All suspension components renewed. Gauges rebuilt by Nissonger.
Built all new fuel tank with return lines for the now fuel injected
engine. Modified rear underbody to install gas tank in from the
bottom and sealed cover to interior so NO gasoline fumes in
cockpit. Had custom oversized aluminum radiator built by Griffin.
Had new driveshaft made. Ordered NEW 16inch stainless wire wheels.
New front and rear stainless steel bumpers. Completely redid
interior, deleting rear jumpseat and making rear deck continue from
back right up to front seats. (as in series 1 coupe).
Installed more comfortable early XJS seats with recline.
Reupholstered dash in matching burgundy color. Installed headlight
buckets and glass covers from German company. Installed all
electronic, ECM under magnetized cover just behind front seats
(where jump seat was). Installed 3rd brake light system in original
rear hatch vent. All new exhaust with OEM V12 tip. Repaired AC unit
that now works perfectly and is Ice cold with radiator fan so now
car never overheats in any traffic situation. Rebuilt power
steering system. Basically, we built an XKE that you can drive on a
daily basis with modern, efficient Jaguar running gear, that will
always get you where you want to go and then back again. Without
the hassles associated with Old British Cars.
All the above work took over three years and tens of thousands of
dollars,
The result is not only an attractive E Type Coupe but one that can
be used regularly.
