Description

This Jaguar E-Type is an original, numbers-matching Series 2 Roadster that has recently completed a comprehensive Show-Driver Level rotisserie restoration by our team. Representing one of the final examples of Jaguar's legendary 6-cylinder E-Type, this exceptional Roadster is currently undergoing our final test mile sorting to ensure every system performs as intended before delivery. Beautifully presented in a striking Triple Black color combination, the Jaguar features a sleek Black exterior, a correctly tailored Black leather interior, and matching Black trim throughout, creating a timeless and purposeful appearance.

The XKE had 76,460 miles showing prior to restoration, and we began with stripping the body to bare metal and mounted on a rotisserie, where it was expertly metal-finished with lead work performed where required. Every major component was carefully restored, refinished, or replaced as needed, with meticulous attention given to body fit, panel alignment, and overall presentation.Mechanically, the matching-numbers engine has been fully rebuilt to factory specifications, while the suspension, braking, cooling, fuel, hydraulic, and electrical systems have all been restored or refurbished as part of the restoration process. The interior has been completely restored by our in-house Master Trimmer using the correct materials and finishes, resulting in a beautifully tailored Black leather cabin that complements the exterior while remaining faithful to the E-Type's original character and design.

With restoration now complete and only the remaining test mile sorting underway, this striking Series 2 E-Type Roadster is ready to provide its next owner with the driving experience and presentation that only a Jaguar E-Type can deliver! Whether enjoyed on your favorite scenic drives or displayed at regional concours events, this beautifully restored E-Type stands as another example of the craftsmanship, authenticity, and attention to detail that have defined our restorations for nearly four decades. A comprehensive MP4 pictorial presentation documenting the restoration process accompanies the E-Type, providing a lasting record of the work performed throughout its restoration.

History

While the Series II E-type was more radically altered than its interim predecessor, the essential construction remained the same and the body work differed only in detail. Modifications were made to the front of the bonnet, increasing the size considerably, the headlamp scoops were altered so that the inner walls now splayed inwards and the side/flasher were rather larger and positioned below the raised bumper. The vehicle also received heavier front bumper blades, motif bar, front and rear over riders were changed, new square number plate at the rear, a different grille was used in the rear of the bonnet bulge, and the washer jets were finished in satin chrome to avoid the risk of dangerous reflections. Reclining seats were fitted to the Series II cars as well as head rests that were adjustable for height.
