The result is a car that blends timeless British elegance with meticulous mechanical attention and thoughtful upgrades.Power comes from the legendary matching-numbers 4.2-liter inline six, paired with an automatic transmission, delivering smooth and refined performance that perfectly suits the E-Type's grand touring character. The engine and transmission were freshly rebuilt and enhanced with a distinctive triple-carburetor setup using an E-Type intake and a custom-fabricated air box, offering both visual drama and improved breathing. Supporting mechanical work includes a rebuilt rear end assembly, new stainless exhaust, rebuilt fuel pumps, resealed fuel tank, rebuilt radiator (most recently serviced in 2023), and refreshed cooling and charging systems.The restoration extended well beyond cosmetics. The body and paint were completed around 2018 with all glass removed and reinstalled, ensuring proper fit and finish. Suspension components were fully rebushed, new shocks installed, brake calipers rebuilt, and new brake and fuel lines fitted. A new wiring harness from the firewall forward, along with a rebuilt alternator and starter, adds reliability and peace of mind for modern driving. New tires complete the mechanical package, making this E-Type as road-ready as it is beautiful.Inside, the cabin reflects the same attention to detail, featuring a refinished wood dash, new headliner, and a clean, classic black interior that stays true to the car's original design. Often referred to as the most beautiful car ever made, the Jaguar E-Type remains a benchmark of automotive design, and this example stands out thanks to its long-term ownership, matching-numbers drivetrain, and extensive restoration. It's a turn-key classic ideal for shows, spirited drives, or simply enjoying one of the greatest sports cars of all time.
