Lot No: 403•
1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 Roadster
Chassis no. 1E16228
Engine no. 7E14859-9

This E-Type was delivered new in December of 1967 to Jaguar Cars New York wearing sand paintwork, a matching top, and a beige interior. Today, after an extensive restoration done earlier this year by marquee specialists Classic Showcase of Oceanside, California, the car appears very much as it did when it arrived in New York on that blustery December day.

Stripped to bare metal, the car was placed on a rotisserie and metal finished, leaded, and painted. All mechanical systems and components were attended to, service, restored, or replaced as needed. The original engine and transmission were rebuilt back to factory specifications. Similarly, the electrical, hydraulic, cooling, and fuel systems have all been gone through and new rubber and seals have been fitted. A new, correct exhaust system was fitted, along with a new battery. The gas tank was epoxy sealed and the radiator was restored. All of the chrome was either re-plated or replaced. The interior was completed correctly with new hides in the original beige color. Finally, the wheels and tires have been replaced with factory-correct pieces...what would all the work be without a new set of shoes? A DVD included with the vehicle documents the restoration process, as well as a Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

Driven only 100 miles since restoration, this reborn cat is now ready to rock and roll!

Estimate: US$130,000 - 145,000

• Rare and desirable Series 1½ with matching numbers
• Only 100 miles since restoration
• Restored by marque specialist Classic Showcase

Classic Showcase comprehensively restored this exceptional, matching-numbers 1968 Jaguar E-Type Roadster. It has been finished in its striking original color combination of Golden Sand with a Tan interior and a Biscuit top and is documented with a Heritage Certificate. During the restoration process the car was stripped to bare metal, metal finished and leaded; all body parts and chrome were fitted to the car, prepared for primer, sealer, paint, base coat and clear coat and then color-sanded and buffed to a fabulous finish. All systems, such as the electrical, hydraulic, cooling and fuel systems, have been gone through, serviced and restored or replaced as needed. The E-Type has also received all new rubber and seals. The engine and transmission have been completely rebuilt back to factory specifications.

Additionally, the car received a new and correct exhaust system and new battery, the gas tank was epoxy sealed, and the radiator has been restored. All brightwork was re-plated or replaced. Finally, the Jaguar received a complete new custom-tailored and fitted interior in the correct materials, along with five new tires and chrome wire wheels. A DVD of the restoration process will accompany the vehicle. This 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1½ is an excellent example to drive and enjoy with its 4.2-liter motor, but it would also stand out at any British car event.

Addendum
Please note this car comes with a Heritage Certificate.
