Lot #1392 - A comprehensive, no-expense-spared, nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration was just completed on this rare XKE, taking it to the highest-possible show level. This first-year production run example exhibits all the early sought-after Series 1 features these cars are known for, including flat floors, welded louvers and outside bonnet latches. A team of master craftsmen and technician have finished the process of getting this iconic example of Jaguar history back to factory standards, and have elevated this already special car to some of the highest concours standards possible. Built on June 22, 1961, it was dispatched from Jaguar Cars in New York. Included in the restoration process, the vehicle was dissembled, the interior was removed and documented, the body was stripped to bare metal and placed on a rotisserie and body worked, metal-finished, fitted and leaded as needed; all body parts and chrome were fitted to the car in bare metal. It was primered, sealed, had a base coat and clear coat applied, and then was color sanded and buffed to a superb finish. All body parts were painted off the car separately. All systems were gone through, and were restored or replaced as necessary. The 4-speed manual transmission, clutch and hydraulic systems were fully restored or replaced, and the car has received all new rubber, grommets and seals. In addition, the brightwork was fitted and replated to show-level quality. The car received all new upholstery, which was fit and installed in the correct materials by master upholsterers. The roadster's parts and components have been restored in the proper colors and finishes, and NOS parts were used wherever possible. Extreme attention to detail has being given due to the importance of this early, highly original E-type, which features a 3.8-liter engine. A DVD/MP4 of the restoration process, along with a Heritage Certificate of Authenticity, accompany this very special Jag. Dressed in Opalescent Dark Blue and complemented with a stunning red leather interior, this magnificent color combination enhances the natural lines and beauty of this E-type. This is an excellent candidate to campaign at your favorite concours, making it a wonderful choice for the discerning Jaguar collector looking to pedigree an exceptional, first-generation, E-Type example.
