The original refurbished dashboard presents as new, all interior lighting, crystal clear Smiths gauges, Lucas dipping rear view mirror, toggle switches and electrics work as they were intended.
Fitted with front and rear heated screens, a wood rim 3-spoke brushed aluminium E-Type steering wheel and original Growler centre boss... Stunning throughout.
Exterior
The body has been extensively restored by Glamorgan Classic Cars over a 5 year period and completed in the Autumn of 2019. The history file documents over 300 images of the E-type restoration from start to finish, the body was stripped back to bare metal and painted inside and out.
Painted in the original Jaguar colour of Carmen Red. The paintwork offers a flawless uniform finish which is a testament to the quality of workmanship carried out 6 years ago.
Factory panel fit, excellent shut lines, gaps, and reassuring thud as you close the doors. The underside stripped, painted and undersealed, every component has been meticulously restored and the whole car presents to show standards.
All external bright work is either original or been replated and looks stunning throughout. Original Lucas lighting all around with the exception of better performing Wipac halogen headlights. Uroglas, new heated front and rear screens, new door glass and original Triplex opening rear quarter windows, all unmarked... Wonderful

Engine & Transmission
The fully detailed engine and engine bay house the incredible fully rebuilt Jaguar 3781cc straight 6 engine, 264 bhp and 317 ft-lb torque with perfectly set up triple Weber DCOE 45 carburettors on a rolling road by Butlin & Sons, Swadlincote, Derbyshire, aluminium radiator with electric cooling fan and 123 Distributor.
The engine has been completely stripped and rebuilt including new pistons, bearings, seals, camshafts and full head rebuild by Ken Jenkins Independent Classic Jaguar Specialists and has completed a mere 2420 miles since.
On the road she cannot fail to impress and what a joy to drive. A recent Beagle Engineering 5-speed manual gearbox conversion has been fitted and selects with ease, the new clutch is light in operation, gear changes slick and precise and starts hot or cold without issue. The 3.8 Series crisp exhaust note is magical through the full stainless steel exhaust system with horned tailpipes and free flow manifold.
We have the original 4-speed Moss gearbox available with the car which has been fully rebuilt by JPR Competition Gearboxes.
