Included in the restoration process: the vehicle was stripped to bare metal, placed on a rotisserie, metal finished, leaded, all body parts fitted to the car and chrome, prepared for primer, sealer, paint, base, clear, color sanded and buffed to a fabulous finish. All systems are being gone through and will be rebuilt or restored including: the fuel, electrical, cooling, and hydraulic systems. Mechanical components have been rebuilt back to factory specifications, including the engine, transmission, rear end and suspension, and the XKE's chrome was re-plated where needed. The E-Type is receiving a complete, new custom tailored and fit red interior in the correct materials by our master trimmer.  The XKE's restoration is moving along nicely, and is scheduled to be ready in time for the upcoming summer driving season!

While there is no doubt this example would be a fine addition to any show field when complete, the husband and wife collector team's primary goal of the restoration to the E-Type was to create something their family could simply enjoy and create new memories with. Their level of excitement is high, and they can't wait to see the Coupe when completed! Stay tuned to our Summer 2023 newsletter for finished photos of the XKE along with a recap of this exciting Jaguar client restoration!
