British racing green metallic and saddle leather. VIN J67 1E-‐15580
This is effectively a new car with about 2000 miles since an exhaustive, no expense spared, full body off 3-‐year professional restoration designed and ready for daily driving, rallying or the racetrack. This car began as a complete rust free, well preserved example of one of the last series 1 E-‐ Types made in July 1967 and consequently has all the Series 1 and numerous Series 1.5 factory upgrades. It is an all matching numbers E-‐ Type (sans transmission) with its restored original hardtop in body color with black Connolly leather liner. She has been over restored with significant mechanical and cosmetic upgrades and clothed in traditional Jaguar colors yielding one of the finest E-‐Types in existence -‐ this is no exaggeration. The car is fully sorted, in perfect condition and has been meticulously maintained since completing restoration. This is a beautiful, well made, reliable, extremely fast and great handling sports car, which comes with spare tire, manuals, tools, cover and 3 sets of original Jaguar XKE keys.
