THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

The auction car is an early Series 2 example and desirable standard two-seat coupe, arguably the prettiest E-type body style. This example disguises many tasteful, well-executed performance modifications beneath a standard looking shell, including a high-compression, big-valve head engine with triple Webers.
Thanks to a prior, extensive, high quality restoration effort, the car now presents beautifully throughout, and has been scored 99+ points at more than one recent JCNA (Jaguar Clubs of North America) concours event. A People's Choice Award is notable as well.
Paint is a Jaguar color called Claret, and it suits the car quite well. Wheels are described as chrome plated 6" wide knock-offs, and they're wrapped in era-correct looking Dunlop D40M2 tires.
The interior has been refinished in biscuit leather, and excluding a 7,000 Jaguar-branded tach from a V12 E-type, a modern Alpine stereo head unit, and a Momo steering wheel that's highly reminiscent of the original, the space looks largely standard, helping to continue the car's delightfully incognito hot rod personality. Four-point harnesses are another welcome addition.
Underneath, the car's engine, suspension, and drivetrain benefit from a similar level or preparation, and many components have been carefully painted, coated, or polished as part of restoration.
The engine is now topped with a late-production, big-valve, fuel-injection head fitted triple 45mm Weber carbs, not to mention many other modifications such as 10:1 compression Venolia pistons, Isky-reground cams, reworked connecting rods with upgraded hardware, Mallory electronic ignition, brass freeze plugs, and much more. A very nicely fabricated custom dual-fan aluminum radiator shroud is also worth noting, as are ceramic-coated headers and a full stainless steel exhaust system.
Output has been dyno'd at 246 hp–identical to stock when measured at the engine's crankshaft, however in this instance, said figure was obtained from the rear wheels. Assuming roughly 15% of parasitic power loss from engine to wheels, it's safe to assume the auction car is making closer to 300 at the crank. Torque was measured as 291 lb-ft during the same dyno session.
Brakes have been upgraded as well, and now feature Wilwood ventilated rotors and Wilwood four-piston calipers in front, while rears remain rebuilt factory items. All four brakes are fed by stainless braided lines plumbed to a rebuilt Jaguar factory master cylinder and servo. Suspension hasn't been neglected either, and now includes Spax and Carrera adjustable gas dampers (front to back, respectively), heavy duty sway bars, torsion bars, and more.
