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.

1964 Jaguar XKE slinks into Jay Leno's Garage
Wed, 07 Aug 2013The idea of altering a classic Jaguar E-Type might seem preposterous to some, but Jasen Len of XKs Unlimited managed to create a modified 1964 E-Type that stays true to the Jag's timeless design. Just a few months after Jay Leno featured his own original E-Type on Jay Leno's Garage, Len stopped by to show off his custom Jaguar creation.
Starting out with a rust-ravaged body, Len made the car just the way he wanted it to be. He started off with some minor changes to the car's exterior like the Le Mans-inspired racing lights and handmade front bumpers, handmade sills with integrated exhaust and flared rear fenders. Inside, he dropped the floor to make more interior space and reworked the E-Type's styling for more of a modern look. We have to say, if you're going to mess with a Series 1 E-Type, this is the way to do it.
Sadly, even though Len and Leno spend plenty of time talking about the car's 300-horsepower 3.8-liter inline six-cylinder, we never get to hear the car fire up. Check out the JLG video, which is posted below, and as a bonus, enjoy the gallery from Jaguar showing a 1961 E-Type.
Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl ad to feature F-Type Coupe
Sun, 10 Nov 2013Patrons of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will be able to get their first glimpse at the new Jaguar F-Type Coupe, but the new hardtop sports car will be shown off to an even greater audience in early February. No, we aren't talking about the Chicago Auto Show - we're referring to the Super Bowl. Jaguar will debut its first-ever Super Bowl ad during the second half of the big game on February 2, 2014, and the sleek new F-Type Coupe will be the star.
According to Jaguar, the ad campaign will pose the question, "Have you ever noticed how in Hollywood movies, all the villains are played by Brits?" And for all you social media mavens out there, Jaguar will launch a specific hashtag to go with this marketing: #GoodToBeBad.
British director Tom Hooper is responsible for the ad, which is being filmed in London. Americans will get their first glimpse at the campaign this weekend in the first spot, called Disruptor, but the big F-Type Coupe spot will not air until Super Bowl XLVIII in February.
Dick Van Dyke escapes his flaming Jaguar on the 101
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Actor Dick Van Dyke was caught in a dangerous situation on a Los Angeles highway (who are we kidding, every situation on an LA highway is dangerous), when his Jaguar XJ spontaneously caught fire. The 87-year-old actor/comedian pulled to the side and attempted to call emergency services when another motorist pulled him from the car. There seems to be some confusion as to whether Van Dyke was passed out or merely calling emergency services.
According to the photos and video from NBC and The Today Show, the car was thoroughly cooked in the blaze and is now a total loss. After the incident, Van Dyke's wife, Arlene, posted that the actor was "fine," sharing a Vine video of the star, the car, and a few CHP troopers that were on hand. Later in the day, Van Dyke tweeted a photo of his toasted sedan, saying, "Used Jag for sale REAL CHEAP!!"
