This 1964 French Jaguar is one of the first E-type models to be factory equipped with the all synchronized 4 speed gearbox.It has been fully restored by a Vintage fanatic, the work on the body itself represents more than 600 hours. One of the best specialist in vintage automobiles has recreated the exact color of the original model: Jaguar Silver. The interior has been entirely redone except for the original wine red upholstery which has been carefully preserved, everyone knows you can’t buy patina. All the mechanical and suspension parts have been taken out piece by piece and the used parts replaced. The joints, silent blocks, unibals are brand new. At the final stage of the suspension restoration, 4 brand new Koni Classic shocks absorbers were fitted. An additional Kenlow electric ventilator has been fitted and the radiator restored. The car never overheated and never will. A complete stainless steel exhaust system adds the final touch to the restoration. All the mechanical parts comes SC Parts in the UK and all the bills are available. The tires, clutch and wire wheels are brand new. The second owner, who was a French Film producer had the engine and gearbox fully rebuild 10 years ago and the car has only been driven 2.000 Km since. Due to the lack of use, all carburetors have been restored. The car is registered in France, with matching numbers; Chassis number 889220 - Engine number RA 3533-8, Gearbox number 11495 JS. Three owners only, it is driven on a frequent basis to keep up its perfect shape. Fully operational and in excellent driving condition, it is available immediately in France
