SUMMARY
Fully and sympathetically restored.
DESCRIPTION
Matching numbers with Jaguar Heritage Certificate Ex-California dry state car Total repaint and converted to European Specification New suspension, brakes and exhaust New Mohair hood with restored frame This left-hand drive, Calfornia E Type was purchased by the vendor who was looking for a dry-state car that was solid underneath. Once back in the UK it went through a comprehensive but sympathetic restoration and has recently benefitted from over ú20,000 of expenditure. The car had a total repaint in its original Signal Red and visited Aldridge Trimming where it was treated to a new Mohair hood, the frame restored, and whilst the original seats were fine the cushions have been replaced. It has had all new suspension, brake discs and callipers, and a new exhaust system. Whilst being repainted, the 'federal' side lights have been removed returning the car to the much more attractive European look. The engine has had a top end overhaul and runs superbly with no overheating problems. The bumpers have been re-chromed and all the exterior lights are new. New tyres have been fitted. The underside of this car is immaculate and it looks fantastic in its Red and Black. With tool roll and the original jack, this completes the picture. This matching numbers car comes with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and is UK Registered with all taxes paid. With a fresh MoT with no advisories, this fabulous, bright red, Series II is on the button and drives superbly.
