Update: 2/9/21 - Sale Pending; Our team has just recently finished the restoration to this E-Type! This 1965 XKE was a great numbers-matching core car example, resulting in a breathtaking restoration to that of our Show level.

During the E-Type’s restoration process, it was fully disassembled, and photo documented; it was taken to bare metal, metal-worked on a rotisserie, then finished and was repainted in Opalescent Golden Sand, with a complimenting Tan interior. We have also completed extensive work on the engine rebuild as well, and running smooth. All of the Coupe’s mechanical systems have been gone through and rebuilt to specification, and all brite work was re-plated to that of a Show-level quality. All mechanical components have been completely gone through including the electrical, cooling, fuel, and the hydraulic systems, with each brought back to their respective factory specifications. The engine, transmission, and rear end have been completely rebuilt, along with the carburetors, starter, and alternator. The Coupe’s radiator has been replaced, and it's gas tank has been epoxy-sealed and restored as well, along with the addition of a new stainless-steel exhaust system.

The interior of the XKE received a freshly trimmed interior, custom-fit and installed by our Master Trimmer in our upholstery department, along with a new headliner, sun visors, all panels, leather trimmed seats (with Moquet backing), its original wooden steering wheel (that we fully restored), along with a complimenting fully functional, period-correct radio.

It is getting increasingly difficult to find matching-number E-types in original color combinations, so when we find such examples, we like to restore them to a higher level to not only preserve the great Heritage of E-types, but to also create a great investment for the collector. A Heritage Certificate of Authenticity and USB drive of pictures and an MP4 video of the Coupe's restoration accompany the vehicle.
