Notes

-Red with Tan leather interior, Tan carpets and Black convertible top, 3.8 liter ''Hot Rod'' - ''Fast Road Spec'' engine, Uprated to speed gearbox, 9,000 miles since complete photo documented, nut and bolt restoration (completed 1997) by a Jaguar restoration specialist. This E-type has been well-known to Autosport Designs having been sold and service by us in the past. The following modifications have been performed on this E-type. The engine was removed and completely rebuilt with high compression pistons, connecting rods, camshafts, the cylinder head was ported and polished and the standard carburetors exchanged for a triple Weber set up. The ignition system was upgraded to electronic type, the original radiator has been replaced with a performance aluminum type with auxiliary electric cooling fan, the generator was replaced-converted to an alternator, the gearbox was converted to a 5-speed unit, the clutch assembly was replaced, the wire wheels were replaced with new wider type to accept tubeless tires, the brake calipers have been upgraded to Wilwood with 2-piece rotors, all brake lines have been replaced with stainless steel type, the steering wheel has been changed to a Moto Lita type, the seats have been changed to 1967 type and finally modern AM/FM/CD radio with I-pod connection has been installed. Since restoration, this E-type has enjoyed enthusiast, collector ownerships in New York's Hamptons, where it has been used during the driving season and never in inclement weather. It has serviced and maintained regardless of use and always ready for use at a moments notice. This E-Type Roadster is exceptional in its current hot-rod status, it would be a wonderful vintage rally contender and comes complete with owners manual, restored factory jack, new knockoff hammer and original tool kit and roll. Absolutely exceptional!
