Details

Finished in an Opalescent Maroon over a matching interior, this 1964 Jaguar E-Type Series I roadster carries a full restoration by David Ferguson of Images Autobody in Campbell, CA. This matching-numbers car is powered by a 3.8-liter inline 6-cylinder engine paired with a rebuilt transmission. The engine was completely rebuilt using new pistons, rings, valves, chains, bearings, oil pump, seals and gaskets. The radiator, fuel pump, starter and alternator were also restored to new. The carburetors were completely rebuilt and all hydraulics were brass-sleeved. A new clutch was installed, and the rear axle and suspension components were rebuilt as new and plated. A new cloth braided wiring harness was fitted as new. The brakes were rebuilt with new rotors and wheel bearings. The full rotisserie restoration featured every nut, bolt and component being removed, restored and refinished, and the bonnet was completely disassembled and bead-blasted. The chrome on the E-Type was then triple-plated for a perfect shine and durable finish. The upholstery was replaced in fine maroon leather and all carpeting was replaced as well. A new dash panel was installed, and all the weatherstripping was replaced, with both doors and windshield also receiving new glass. Jaguar's perfect execution of the Grand Touring experience is nicely displayed in the steering wheel that was refinished to factory specifications. Other items that received attention were complete body soundproofing and a new stainless-steel exhaust system. This Jaguar rides on new Dayton wire rims with knockoffs. The original tool kit and jack are included in the sale. This Jaguar also has its Heritage Certificate.
