The example we offer you was produced in one of the last years of the 1st series before the restyling. It is not a simple restored E-Type; it is the result of several years of research to find a car in a bad condition but absolutely matching mechanically. Its former owner was then delivered a convertible car where corrosion and the ravages of time had done their work; it was presented in a white color with a black interior. From then on, the restoration work began, and everything was dismantled piece by piece, bolt by bolt.

In order to get the car back to its original color, the owner called the Jaguar archives who gave him a Heritage Trust showing that the car was delivered new to the United States in an ""Opalescent Golden Sand"" color which he had reapplied to the bodywork.

A very important file of photos showing all the work done on the Jaguar is available and delivered with the car.

Mechanically, the original engine of the car was disassembled and completely restored so that it could purr again. The keystroke numbers correspond to the technical review made by the Jaguar document.

A true demonstration of the Dutch restoration know-how, this E-Type is in a much better condition than when it left the dealership in 1967, every part, every bolt is new or rebuilt as witnessed by the important photo file that impressed us enormously. More than ready to go on the long summer roads, don't miss this unique car."
