"€120,000 worth of renovation work, exceptional condition"
- A motoring icon and timeless image of England's swinging sixties, the E-Type enjoyed worldwide success and today remains one of the most collected classic cars. It is as much at home on the racetrack as it is in the finest concours d'élégance.
- The car featured in these pages was launched in 1965 in the United States, sold new by the Jaguar dealership in New York to a lady, Josephine F., as attested by the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.
- In 2016, the E-Type arrived in our latitudes, having just been purchased by a Frenchman whose project was to undertake the complete restoration of a Jaguar E-Type coupé. Starting from a sound and complete base, there are no cost limits to be considered. Nothing is left to chance. The work will last 3 years and will require a final budget of over €120,000 (excluding the purchase of the car!).
- Completely stripped down, the bodywork will be redone down to the smallest detail, undoubtedly better than the original (and the body will no longer rust in critical areas), the running gear, the striking red upholstery will be extended with high-quality leather, and the engine will be completely rebuilt, keeping its original block of course. An extensive file can be consulted on request to see the extent of the work.
- Today, the beautiful E-Type 4.2 is offered with an estimate that takes into account the total cost of the restoration, excluding the purchase price, and awaits the enthusiast, who can then take to the road with peace of mind. Our road test will confirm that the car is very well restored and homogeneous: the XK in-line 6 is still one of the best in the world in terms of driving pleasure...
