Description of 1965 Jaguar E-Type |
This first year of the 4.2 engine Jaguar is a numbers-matching example of a beautiful driver-quality car. The odometer shows 49885 miles and the previous owner believed this to be original, but no way to verify this. It has undergone many restoration proceedures over the years. Before I owned it, the previous owner had the car completely stripped and had good quality body work and full paint done. The color now is a take on British Racing Green, but is lighter in tint. The interior is almost all new, with the original sand, or beige color seats, panels, carpet, soft-top and boot cover. I have had the center console recovered, as well as the center dash panel wrapped in the original type vinyl to match the left and right sides. The radio is a Retrosound MP3 classic style. The engine was also rebuilt and appears to have very little mileage on it since the overhaul. The gearbox is smooth and may also have been rebuilt. This is not in overall perfect condition, there is paint patina, chrome on the taillights is slightly pitted and could use a rechrome, there are a few minor dings, the boot-lid has been slammed down to latch due to poor adjustment of the latch and so there is a soft dent at the center rear area. Also, previous body work to the left side cowl area in front of the door was not done properly and there is a small gap to the contour of the bonnet. The front floor panels have had some work done. None of this is hardly noticeable, except up close. This car would also be a great base for a full restoration and even perhaps put it back to it's original exterior color of opalescent golden sand.
