Jaguar E-type

The E-Type Series 2 cars introduced a number of design and mechanical changes where they designed out both safety issues for American legislation and problematical mechanical areas, most notably the lighting, the cooling, the switching plus the steering column was made collapsible and headrests were added. A steeper-raked windshield on 2+2 models brought more glass and the ability to take passengers. A glove-box door was now fitted on all models, together with perforated leather upholstery and newly available power steering. Brakes were new Girling disc brakes with three-piston calipers at the front and two-piston versions at the rear. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a stronger, "ribbed" variety.

The previous owner advises that this coupe version has received much recent attention including a full engine rebuild and detail along with new exhaust manifolds, a replacement clutch, master cylinder and brake servo and the carburetors have been refurbished by Burlem Services. The car also benefits from new calipers, discs and brake lines, new fuel lines and pump, new wheels and tyres, a new Bell stainless steel exhaust system, new windscreen, windscreen wiper motor and wipers,new front lights (Halogen H4), and a new power steering rack. Everything now works as it should with all defective components replaced....

The bodywork has also received attention, including new inner and and outer sills, new floors, new boot floor and rear inner wings. The car also has a complete replacement interior, has been completely re-wired, has had total re-spray with new chrome fitted and is said to be rust free. Given that a restoration costs at least £75000 plus the cost of the donor FHC car, this has to make sense?
