Seller description:
Beautifully Restored Early Series II

Offered here is one of the best looking ones you will ever find. Finished in nearly flawless British Racing Green, this example was subject to a no expense spared restoration a few years ago. In fact, it was described to me as more like a re-manufacture. The engine and transmission were fully rebuilt as well. While the purists will say it was over-restored, there is no doubt when you witness this E-type, that everything was done as perfectly to the owners wishes as possible. Chrome is perfect, wire wheels are perfect, virtually every fastener was replaced, and the engine compartment is detailed out to near concours level. It starts, runs and shifts perfectly. Everything works as it should. You will be very hard pressed to find a more stunning example.

The owner previous to me, believed to be the second owner, wished to drive and enjoy the car. The odometer indicates approximately 12,068 miles. Sometime early in its life, it was treated to the installation of a Laycock-DeNormanville period correct overdrive unit, to counter-act the effects of the lower-for-america differential gear ratio. This of course lowers the noise level at highway speeds for a much more comfortable and enjoyable touring experience.

I am told that the restoration took place on an already very clean, rust free car that lived in the Montreal area. The elderly gentleman that owned this car previous to me claimed to have spent over $100,000 on restoration and maintenance. I do have the Jaguar Heritage Certificate that indicate it is a numbers matching car, delivered in Canada.

Sellers description:

We've had a few E-types in the past few months, but this is the most spectacular of them! It has been meticulously restored in typical British Racing Green, with Tan interior, and everything has been taken apart, and refinished in better-than-new condition. From the perfect wire wheels, to the polished pieces under the hood, this stunning automobile will be described by many as "over-restored", but it's next owner will appreciate having one of the cleanest, best-looking example of the marque.
