Coventry. After years of general use and enjoyment, a restoration was the order of the day. Sensibly uprated during the rebuild process, this Fixed Head Coupe was fully refurbished with the more enthusiastic driver in mind and entrusted to Thruxton Jaguar Specialist, Jestyn Thomas, to work his magic. The list of documented works include a gas-flowed and ported head, fully stripped and rebuilt engine incorporating all new bearings, chains, replacement oil pump and a lightened and balanced flywheel, a 6-branch Haywood & Scott manifold and exhaust and looking more than up to the job with triple ram-pipes on the intake side. With little use in recent years, it is suggested that with a little recommissioning that there is still plenty of enjoyment to be had from this timeless classic that can more than hold its head up on the open road.SpecificationMake: JAGUARModel: E-TYPE SERIES 1 3.8 COUPEYear: 1964Chassis Number: 861524Registration Number: 395 KUETransmission: ManualEngine Number: 5824-9Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 11146 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images
