She has been over restored with extensive attention to detail and significant mechanical and cosmetic upgrades and clothed in traditional Jaguar colors yielding one of the finest E-Types in existence - this is no exaggeration. The car is fully sorted, in perfect condition and has been meticulously maintained since completing restoration over a year ago. This is a beautiful, well made, reliable, extremely fast and great handling sports car which comes with spare tire, manuals, tools, cover and 3 sets of original Jaguar XKE keys.

There are numerous additional minor mechanical and cosmetic enhancements not mentioned above. The photos really do not do the car justice as her color has a brilliant emerald quality in sunlight and a black metallic quality at night. All the photos provided were taken on May 30, 2007 after restoration was completed except the convertible top photo which was taken on Sep 19, 2008. As the car has not changed at all since these photos were taken, they still accurately depict the car as it exists today.
