I will spare everyone the "E-Type history lesson" and confine the comments to THIS E-type !
I did so much to this car that remembering everything is a challenge!
I bought this car in 1996 as a "box of parts" (may parts were missing). This was an abandoned restoration from I think the early 1980's. From 1997 to 2002 I restored the car to driving condition. I have the receipts ( a 2" thick file) many pics and a log of the body welding progress. I am selling the car because I no longer have the time and I do not want the car to sit, I would rather see it go to "a good home".
I did the major body welding and assembly.Effectively replacing the lower 3" of the body. Replaced parts include, left and right floors, outer sills, complete trunk floor, front fenders, front under pan, lower fire wall, both doors.
All small parts were sand blasted and cleaned.
The engine, clutch, rear suspension, drive shaft, steering rack, master cylinders (stainless steel sleeved) were rebuilt "as new" by a Jaguar specialists. The gearbox was cleaned, inspected and resealed by the same specialist.
There has been 7100 miles driven since restoration.
The final fit and painting was done by a professional restoration shop.
The following was replaced.
All wiring, Gas tank, all electrical items (except 4 small gauges, toggle switches and tach)
The speedometer was rebuilt.
Many of the chrome items were restored.(bumpers, windscreen chrome, drip channel chrome, tail lights, upper door chrome)
Upgrades include.
Dayton 6" wire wheels, Perelli P4000 tires.
Uprated tortion bars.
Stainless Steel exhaust and headers.
Gear reduction starter.
Pertronics distributor.
Upgraded alternator.
Upgraded cooling fan.
Spin on oil filter (still have the original assy)
Stainless front brake cylinders.
Stainless flex hoses.
Stainless sleeved master cylinders.
15" upgraded steering wheel..
Adjustable tortion bar tie plate.
The interior is OK but should be worked on.
I have the uninstalled upper door chrome.
The only mechanical issues are the roll up windows need adjustment and repair, and the rear window demist dose not work.
There is a 6" scratch between the left front wheel and headlight.
The back seat does not swing forward. (I have a dissembled upper rear seat with the swing mech.)
I have some extra interior parts, window regulators,
I is easier to think of what I did NOT replace/rebuild !
Car is sold "as is" no warranty.
Since the car is shown locally, the auction may be ended early.
The car can be seen at my business M-F 11-8 S 9:30-8 Sunday 10-5., contact me for directions.

Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars
Thu, 11 Sep 2014An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
Jay Leno's Garage features funnyman's 1963 Jaguar E-Type
Thu, 25 Apr 2013Jay Leno looks inward on this episode of his eponymous garage, checking out a 1963 Jaguar XKE that he bought earlier this year. It is an example of his favorite kind of car, that being original and unrestored. He bought the E-Type from its first owner, a woman who purchased it new, held on to it for 50 years and took excellent care of it. Having never been in an accident, Leno says even the paint is 85- to 90-percent original.
In the video, the XKE sits in front of two heavily modded XK120s and another '63 XKE, but Leno said all he's done - and all he plans to do - is clean it up and put on a modern set of wire wheels for safety.
He's not on any junket and there are no guests, it's just a guy talking about an object dear to his heart. If you need a refresher on the excellent genes of the new F-Type, check out the video below.
Jaguar to reveal small sedan at Paris show
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Small sedans are big business for luxury automakers. The C-Class is the top seller for Mercedes-Benz, much as the 3 Series is for BMW, but Jaguar has historically missed out on that market. Its last attempt, the X-Type, proved woefully inadequate, and Jaguar hasn't attempted to take on that market again since. But that's all about to change.
Coventry has been working on a new small Jaguar for some time now (using test mules like the one above wearing modified XF body panels), and according to the latest reports coming in from the UK, it will showcase the result of those efforts at the Paris Motor Show next October. The show car will take the form of a pre-production concept that is expected to preview the production version very closely before the final item is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
Tipped to be called XS (somewhat appropriately for the brand's smallest model), the new sedan is expected to be the first to use the company's new aluminum platform previewed by the C-X17. Expect styling to follow along similar lines to said crossover concept and the F-Type sportscar, with eventual sedan, wagon and coupe versions to round out the family.
