Finished in the striking color combination of Opalescent Maroon with a beautifully tailored tan leather interior, the E-Type was stripped to bare metal, carefully metal finished, leaded where appropriate, fitted, primed, sealed, painted, color sanded, and buffed, resulting in a finish that perfectly complements the timeless lines of Jaguar's iconic sports car.

Throughout the restoration, a number of tasteful upgrades were incorporated to enhance both appearance and drivability. Among the most notable are the desirable closed-headlamp conversion, Series 1-style instrumentation, wire wheels, and reclining leather seats trimmed in classic Series 1 patterns. Mechanically, the engine and related systems were rebuilt and restored, while the fuel, cooling, electrical, and hydraulic systems were comprehensively serviced as part of the project. Chrome and brightwork were refinished where needed, and the interior was handcrafted by our in-house upholstery department using correct materials and finishes throughout.

Following completion and final road testing, the E-Type has already begun making appearances at local automotive gatherings, where its elegant color combination and high level of restoration have attracted enthusiastic attention from fellow enthusiasts and collectors alike. Combining desirable California history, thoughtful upgrades, and extensive restoration work, this Series 1.5 Roadster represents an exciting opportunity to acquire one of Jaguar's most celebrated sports cars, equally suited for spirited driving, touring events, and concours display.
