Beschreibung
OSG with a red interior, 83, 000 miles and fuel injected.
This is no ordinary E-type, it is one of the best ones at any price.
This is my car that I have invested over £25, 000in parts alone in over the last 8 years, I have stacks of receipts .
It is superb and one of the best driving cars there is. This is a car you could drive across Europe tomorrow happily.
The car is fuel injected, on individual Jenvey Throttle Bodies with an Emerald ECU. It was set up some years ago on a rolling road by Emerald and has been completely reliable. It sounds excellent, is very powerful, smooth and economical when you want it to be.
All the other mechanical items have been replaced in my ownership.
The engine and gearbox are matching numbers and the car has done 83, 000 miles.
The new engine has just been run in and has had its first oil change at 500 miles.
It is a blue printed rebuild by John Everard and features 9. 5:1 pistons, . 39in cams and a Neil Brown Engineering cylinder head. It has a lightened flywheel, new clutch, hi torque starter, 2in stainless exhaust and 6 branch manifold. Of course the rest of the engine was overhauled at the same time.
It has distributorless ignition with the signal coming from a crank trigger wheel to the ECU with 3 pairs of coil packs. Oil pressure is perfect.
The car has an alloy catch tank and recent Boge shocks all round.
The gearbox and LSD differential were rebuilt in 2019 and the car has 2. 88 gears. The prop is also recent.
This means it shoots up to high speeds quickly and will stay there all day.
The wheels are new MWS 6. 5in centre laced 15 rims with Michelin XWX 205s. That little lot is about £5k now as a package. The steering wheel is rock solid, no shakes, as the car has been laser aligned recently.
The brake callipers were all rebuilt with new masters and slaves and are excellent.
The body is rock solid, I even think it has its original bonnet which like the rest of the car appears rust free. It wears its original colour Opalescent Silver Grey which has a vinyl finish. Originally being a west coast car.
When it was converted to RHD it had a replacement steering rack and suspension joints. It also had the gauges refurbished and the speedo adjusted for the rear end ratio by JDO. All the suspension joints are recent. It has Boge shock absorbers. The cooling system is new with an expensive alloy radiator and large thermostatically controlled fans, all property wired into a separate relay. The interior is lovely. The rear lights are Lotus Elan, so the reverse lights are incorporated in the lens.
The rear exhaust silencers are straight. The number plate is not included, it will be H reg a the point of sale. Jaguar World featured the car over 3 pages 2018.
All inspections welcome inside and out
