I will spare everyone the "E-Type history lesson" and confine the comments to THIS E-type !
I did so much to this car that remembering everything is a challenge!
I bought this car in 1996 as a "box of parts" (may parts were missing). This was an abandoned restoration from I think the early 1980's. From 1997 to 2002 I restored the car to driving condition. I have the receipts ( a 2" thick file) many pics and a log of the body welding progress. I am selling the car because I no longer have the time and I do not want the car to sit, I would rather see it go to "a good home".
I did the major body welding and assembly.Effectively replacing the lower 3" of the body. Replaced parts include, left and right floors, outer sills, complete trunk floor, front fenders, front under pan, lower fire wall, both doors.
All small parts were sand blasted and cleaned.
The engine, clutch, rear suspension, drive shaft, steering rack, master cylinders (stainless steel sleeved) were rebuilt "as new" by a Jaguar specialists. The gearbox was cleaned, inspected and resealed by the same specialist.
There has been 7100 miles driven since restoration.
The final fit and painting was done by a professional restoration shop.
The following was replaced.
All wiring, Gas tank, all electrical items (except 4 small gauges, toggle switches and tach)
The speedometer was rebuilt.
Many of the chrome items were restored.(bumpers, windscreen chrome, drip channel chrome, tail lights, upper door chrome)
Upgrades include.
Dayton 6" wire wheels, Perelli P4000 tires.
Uprated tortion bars.
Stainless Steel exhaust and headers.
Gear reduction starter.
Pertronics distributor.
Upgraded alternator.
Upgraded cooling fan.
Spin on oil filter (still have the original assy)
Stainless front brake cylinders.
Stainless flex hoses.
Stainless sleeved master cylinders.
15" upgraded steering wheel..
Adjustable tortion bar tie plate.
The interior is OK but should be worked on.
I have the uninstalled upper door chrome.
The only mechanical issues are the roll up windows need adjustment and repair, and the rear window demist dose not work.
There is a 6" scratch between the left front wheel and headlight.
The back seat does not swing forward. (I have a dissembled upper rear seat with the swing mech.)
I have some extra interior parts, window regulators,
I is easier to think of what I did NOT replace/rebuild !
Car is sold "as is" no warranty.
Since the car is shown locally, the auction may be ended early.
The car can be seen at my business M-F 11-8 S 9:30-8 Sunday 10-5., contact me for directions.

2013 Jaguar XF 3.0 Supercharged
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Generally speaking, I don't get too upset about the growing need to replace displacement in modern cars. Sure, there are exceptions (don't you touch my 6.2-liter AMG V8), but honestly, the industry's new forced induction powertrains are all lovely, and their gains in fuel economy - when they actually make good on them - can make up for the ever-so-slight losses in performance or driving character.
But I'm having a hard time keeping my chin up with this Jaguar XF. For the 2013 model year, Jaguar has killed off the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 and fitted a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with an eight-speed automatic in its place (and even offers a turbocharged four-cylinder engine below that). That all sounds perfectly well and good, but a week behind the wheel of this British Racing Green sedan just left me missing that V8. And then some.
Driving Notes
Jaguar takes bite out of Mercedes' Magic Body Control chicken ad
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We were quite impressed by Mercedes-Benz when it aired its Magic Body Control commercial, starring a group suitably funky chickens demonstrating their ability to jive to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Now, Jaguar has taken the opportunity to poke some fun at its German rival, releasing its own take on the Magic Body Control spot, and um, there's a big cat involved.
You'll really want to take a look at this video, which is just another sign that in terms of clever ads, Jaguar is doing quite well. We aren't sure if "Jaguar vs. Chicken" will make it onto TV any time soon, but it's still fun to see the British brand take the mickey out of Mercedes - it's rare to see automakers go after each other so bluntly in their marketing efforts. Scroll down to watch the video (we've also included a bonus video, Jag's recent "Cat In A Box" spot).
Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.
