Original colour combination

Recent extensive restoration

Registered on 15th May 1974, this Series III E-Type is offered in its original and rare colour combination of Platinum Silver over a black leather interior. Recently the E-Type has been treated to a comprehensive restoration and has covered under 1,000 miles since. Included in the restoration was a bare metal respray and new body rubbers throughout. The underside was also weather protected to preserve the restoration. The engine has been rebuilt by a Jaguar master technician at which time new SU carburettors were fitted. Other upgrades include a high power starter motor and alternator as well as a new cooling system consisting of a Radtec aluminium radiator and high output fans, a new five-speed Tremec gearbox, KONI shock absorbers and Fosseway four-pot brake calipers, with slotted and vented discs all round.

All the brightwork has been refinished where necessary with new chrome bumpers and chrome wire wheels fitted. The interior has also been renewed, and a high quality stereo system installed to include a discreetly located amplifier and pioneer sub-woofer with mp3 and phone connection. The mohair hood has also been retrimmed and presents very well as does the hardtop that fits as it should. The extensive history file that is offered with the car includes many invoices and photographs of the restoration and a current UK V5C registration document. In good driving condition, this E-Type is offered in excellent order and is ready to be used by a new custodian.
