Description
1964 Jaguar Etype 3. 8 OTS
Original RHD car first sold to Gilman & Co Hong Kong in 1964. The car was brought back to the UK in 2010 and I'm the first and only registered UK owner, having owned the car for the last 15 years.
During that time the Etype was stripped back to its bare shell and has received a full nut & bolt restoration. This includes full engine rebuild and cylinder head fitted with hardened valves to run on modern fuel. Full respray, new interior & hood by Suffolk & Turley. Every single suspension component refurbished, new bearing/ bushes/ u-joints etc... rebuilt rear suspension unit with new shocks. Rebuilt steering rack, all gauges & switch gear refurbished, new galvanised fuel tank, re-cored radiator with modern Fosseway 10 blade cooling fan, rebuilt brakes with Fosseway upgraded 4pot front calipers(still have the original Dunlop single piston calipers) rebuilt vacuum brake servo with new master cylinders, new brake & fuel lines, re-built SU carbs, Radtec aluminium header tank, dynamo to alternator conversion, new wiring harness throughout, new MWS chrome wheels/ tyres, new stainless steel exhaust system, spin on oil filter conversion, Moto Lita steering wheel, all brightwork re-chromed, so much to list with a huge folder full of receipts.
The car currently has an all synchro 4. 2 gearbox fitted but I still have the original 3. 8 moss box. I also have the original factory hardtop(needs refurbing) tonneau cover and original Jaguar tool kit roll, these are all included with the sale.
Jaguar heritage certificate is present with numbers matching. Runs and drives beautifully but time to let her go and let someone else enjoy. Mileage currently sits at 27317.
Viewing most welcome... car is located in Norfolk NR16 area, thanks.
