1971 Jaguar E-Type Coupe

Auburn Fall 2026

VIN P2R28098

One of the finest restored E-Type coupes

Extensive and highly documented 10-year restoration

Complete numbers-matching drivetrain

Highly attractive Signal Red over a beige trimmed cabin

AACA National Senior Award winner

Accompanied by a massive grouping of eight binders documenting ownership history, the entire restoration, service records, and manuals

One of the finest E-Type Jaguar coupes, this striking example is the recipient of a highly documented, comprehensive restoration that took close to ten years to complete. A true labor of love, Doug Ehmann, a skilled restorer and devoted Jaguar enthusiast, didn’t just want any E-Type, he wanted the very best. Taking a reported 2,350 hours, every single part, component, and item was disassembled, cleaned, replaced, or restored. The elegant body was left to Ron Yearger to find every little imperfection and smooth it out to better-than-new condition. The body was painted Signal Red by Mark Gregory at East Coast Restorations while the bumpers and trim were re-chromed by Librandi’s Custom Chrome Plating in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Rounding out its appearance, a new beige upholstery kit by Suffolk & Turley was chosen and the comfortable seats were retrimmed in leather by Classic Jaguar.

Documented by its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, the numbers-matching 4.2-litre inline-six motor was completely disassembled. An original-appearing newer head from a Jaguar XJ6 was installed for better performance, as the head has larger valves. An all-new CoolCat radiator and Bell stainless-steel exhaust system were also installed. The fuel system was completely rebuilt and a new fuel tank, fuel pump, lines, and fittings were added. With every single part tended to, the final assembly of the engine was entrusted to Lippincott’s Garage, a Jaguar-specific restoration shop. Much like the rest of the car, the front and rear suspension was completely rebuilt with new bearings, seals, bushings, shock absorbers, tie rods, and a whole new braking system was mounted; a fantastic outcome allowing for the next owner to acquire a ready-to-be-driven Jaguar.

Completed in 2020, this E-Type was featured in the Jaguar Journal, the publication of the Jaguar Club of North America and would win an AACA Senior award in 2021. Extensively documented, this Jaguar is accompanied by a massive grouping of items that includes eight full binders outlining ownership history, the entire restoration process, servicing, invoice records, and marque manuals.

Meticulously restored, comprehensively documented, and retaining its numbers-matching drivetrain, this outstanding E-Type stands as one of Britain's most celebrated sports cars, that will be equally admired at future judged events, JCNA gatherings, or while in motion sprinting down straightaways or winding backroads.

Chassis P2R28098

Numbers-matching 4.2-liter engine, fully rebuilt and fitted with an upgraded XJ6 cylinder head and three SU carburetors

Highly documented restoration spanning nearly 10 years and approximately 2,350 hours

Featured in Jaguar Journal and awarded an AACA National Senior Award in 2021

Signal Red over beige leather with restoration by respected marque specialists

Accompanied by eight binders documenting ownership, restoration, service history, and manuals

This 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe stands apart as one of the most comprehensively restored examples of the type. The subject of an extensive, highly documented restoration spanning close to ten years, the project was undertaken with an exceptional level of care and attention to detail.

A true labor of love, the restoration was led by devoted Jaguar enthusiast and skilled restorer Doug Ehmann, who reportedly invested approximately 2,350 hours in the project. Virtually every component was disassembled, inspected, cleaned, restored, rebuilt, or replaced as necessary, with the clear objective of producing an E-Type to a standard well beyond that of a typical cosmetic restoration.

The bodywork received equally exacting attention. Ron Yearger was entrusted with correcting and refining the panels before the car was finished in striking Signal Red by Mark Gregory at East Coast Restorations. The bumpers and bright trim were subsequently re-chromed by Librandi's Custom Chrome Plating in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, contributing to the exceptionally crisp presentation seen today.

Inside, the cabin was restored in beige using a Suffolk & Turley upholstery kit, with the seats retrimmed in leather by Classic Jaguar. The result is a warm and elegant contrast to the vivid exterior, while the quality of the materials and workmanship reflects the same attention paid to the rest of the car.

Documented by its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, the car retains its numbers-matching 4.2-liter inline-six engine. During the restoration, the engine was completely disassembled and fitted with a later Jaguar XJ6 cylinder head incorporating larger valves, a thoughtful upgrade intended to improve performance while retaining the original engine at the heart of the car. Furthermore, the car was also upgraded to European specification with triple SU carburetors, over the standard, less powerful twin Stromberg setup. Final assembly was entrusted to Lippincott's Garage, a Jaguar-specific restoration shop.

The supporting mechanical systems received the same comprehensive attention. A new CoolCat radiator and Bell stainless-steel exhaust system were installed, while the fuel system was completely rebuilt with a new tank, fuel pump, lines, and fittings. Both the front and rear suspension were fully rebuilt with new bearings, seals, bushings, shock absorbers, and tie rods, and an entirely new braking system was fitted. The result is not simply an exceptionally well-restored E-Type, but one prepared with genuine road use in mind.

Completed in 2020, the Jaguar was subsequently featured in Jaguar Journal, the publication of the Jaguar Club of North America. The quality of the restoration was further recognized in 2021 when the car earned an AACA National Senior Award.

Equally impressive is the documentation accompanying the car. Eight substantial binders chronicle its ownership history, the complete restoration process, servicing, invoices, and marque literature, providing an unusually thorough record of both the car and the enormous amount of work invested in its restoration.

Finished in Signal Red over beige, with its numbers-matching engine, extensively rebuilt mechanical systems, award-winning restoration, and exceptional supporting documentation, this 1971 Jaguar XKE Coupe represents a rare opportunity to acquire an E-Type restored with extraordinary patience and care. More importantly, the restoration was carried out not simply to impress on the concours field, but to produce a Jaguar ready to be driven and enjoyed.
