Description
-Opalescent Silver Blue, Dark Blue Interior, Dark Blue Soft Top, 3.8-liter engine, 4 Speed manual gearbox, Restored, Matching Numbers, One family owned until 2023.
The XKE was originally purchased in San Diego, California in 1963 by a gentleman who regularly enjoyed the car with his family, frequently taking them on scenic drives and creating memories they fondly look back on; decades later, the owner left the car in the care of his daughter, who made the decision to have his pride and joy restored by mark specialist to a level worthy of showing and driving. Some of the highlights from the restoration included:
• New paint in the car's original color, along with a new interior created in all the proper materials
• Fully rebuilt 3.8 liter engine, with new exhaust and hydraulic systems
• Rebuilt carburetors, comprehensive servicing including the valves and distributor
• New dash top, header tank, water hoses and clamps, master, and clutch cylinders
• Restored the XKE's original radio
• Replaced fuel lines, restored air intake, balance links, bonnet screen, heater box metal
• Restored the top bows, created, and installed a new convertible top, as well as boot cover.
• Restored the steering wheel, vent hardware, added a new rear-view mirror
Covering a little over 1,000 miles since this restoration, this E-type is in excellent condition throughout and comes complete with books, tools, jack, and spare wheel. Most recently in a CT based collection for the last two years, a relocation out of country is influencing the sale.
