This exceptional E-Type Coupe was finished at Jaguar's Coventry works on December 22, 1965, benefiting from the upgraded, fully synchronized transmission and the larger 4.2-liter XK engine. It was built just like it appears today, a left hand drive model painted in the striking Opalescent Silver Grey metallic color and trimmed in black Connolly leather.
Like many E-Types, this car was destined for the United States, where J. P. Herzog, Inc of Lafayette, California became the first owner in January of 1966. The grey E-Type is believed to have remained in California, where purchased by San Francisco resident Dennis Birkhimer in 1968. Mr. Birkhimer would use the Jaguar sparingly, and kept it in largely original condition, with the exception of a repaint in the early 1980s.
Mr. Birkhimer sold the E-Type to the consignor in 2011, a well-known Jaguar enthusiast and trained technician at the San Francisco based Jaguar agency. After using the largely original and low-mile car for a few years, he began a comprehensive restoration, yet retaining as much of the cars originality as possible. The work performed included a repaint in the car's original color by noted Atlanta-based painter Machelle Holloway, and a refurbishment of the cars mechanical systems by Phil O'Brien of OFI Restorations. Photos of the restoration are available in the car's extensive history file, as is a copy of the Heritage Trust Certificate, many old registration cards, photos and letters of documentation.
A wonderful example of the legendary Jaguar E-Type, the Fixed Head Coupe represents the purest form of the model. This matching numbers car, having enjoyed the loving care of just a few long-term Southern California owners from new, must be one of the best examples available anywhere.
