The example presented here is finished in British Racing Green with a black top and matching black interior. It is a matching numbers example that was formerly part of a prominent private collection, unmolested and well kept and serviced by the previous owner. Because of its originality, it was an excellent candidate for restoration. As such, the Jaguar specialists at Classic Showcase recently performed a comprehensive restoration on this E-Type with the aim of making it an outstanding driver and a contender for show events. Excellent panel fitting and metal work was performed before the car was primed, sealed, painted, color sanded, and buffed. Classic Showcase's upholstery department subsequently reupholstered the interior with new leather, vinyl, and carpeting while the top bows were restored and a new Stayfast cloth top was fitted to the car. The instruments were then rebuilt and a new wire harness was installed.

From a mechanical standpoint, the engine was completely overhauled. It was first hot tank cleaned then magnafluxed to look for cracks and machined. Afterwards the engine was rebuilt with new pistons, timing chain, oil pump and bearings. The crankshaft was properly balanced and finished and the cylinder heads were fitted with new valves, guides, tensioners, and springs. A new water pump and freeze plugs were also fitted. Meanwhile, the flywheel was resurfaced and a new clutch system was installed. New shift bushings were installed while the transmission was resealed and received a new first gear synchro, a new radiator with auxiliary fan and a new heater tank. All systems were serviced, rebuilt, or replaced as needed.
Finally, the car received new rubber, grommets, and hardware as well as a new battery and exhaust system. Cosmetically, the car also received new knock-off chrome wire wheels and rechromed brightwork.

Fully detailed both inside and out, this well-sorted and exceptional E-Type will be accompanied by a DVD documenting every step of the comprehensive restoration process. With its covered headlights, larger 4.2-liter engine, and attractive British Racing Green finish, this desirable Roadster is sure to offer elegance, grace, and open air motoring at its best.?

1965 Jaguar XKE in Saint Louis, Missouri

Price: $159,000

Exterior Color:Green

VIN:1E11070

This 1965 Jaguar E-Type Open Two-Seater (OTS) is an outstanding example of the breed, presenting in its original specification and benefitting from a high-quality, expert restoration. According to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this car was delivered new via Jaguar Cars New York to its first owner, Robert Chain of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the summer of 1965. It left the factory finished in dark green over a light tan interior with a tan soft top. Today, it remains faithful to its original color scheme, now featuring a high-quality black interior and black Stayfast canvas top.

In the early 2000s, the car was under the care of a West Coast collector. In 2007, it was acquired by Classic Showcase, a recognized Jaguar restoration specialist. At the time, it was noted to be an original and unmodified car, making it a strong candidate for restoration. The body was stripped to bare metal and refinished in its original dark green. The engine and gearbox were both comprehensively rebuilt, including new pistons, timing chain, oil pump, balanced crankshaft, refreshed cylinder head, and all new internal components. A photographic record of the restoration accompanies the car, documenting the extent and quality of the work performed.

Since the completion of the restoration in 2008, this E-Type has been carefully maintained and remains in superb overall condition. The paintwork is deep and lustrous, with excellent panel fit and finish. Chrome trim and brightwork are in similarly exceptional condition. The car rides on chrome knock-off wire wheels with period-correct Michelin tires. In the boot, a restored Dunlop SP Sport spare tire is present alongside a Hardura-lined jack bag and original jack.

The interior is finished to a high standard using correct materials, including black leather seats, vinyl trim, and carpets. Switchgear and instruments are proper original items, with the gauges professionally restored and a new wiring harness installed during the refurbishment. Under the bonnet, the 4.2-liter XK engine is presented with polished alloy cam covers and SU carburetors, along with the correct gold-finished cylinder head. The engine performs strongly, offering excellent power delivery and touring capability, consistent with the E-Type's reputation. The chassis and undercarriage are similarly well detailed, with factory-style undercoating and properly finished suspension components.

This Series 1 4.2 OTS represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully restored, numbers-matching E-Type in its original specification. Combining mechanical integrity with outstanding cosmetic quality, it is well suited for touring, concours presentation, or inclusion in a discerning collection.
