Under the care of our in-house technicians, the restoration was completed to ensure that all mechanical areas were inspected and repaired as needed. The engine and transmission were removed, the engine compartment was thoroughly cleaned, and the “bird cage” was repainted in the correct British Racing Green. While the engine was removed, it received a new water pump and all of the external seals were replaced. Once reinstalled, new hoses and belts were fitted, as was a new aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. The carburetors were removed, disassembled, cleaned, rebuilt, and reinstalled with the engine tuned as necessary. The clutch hydraulics were completely replaced, as was the bottle bracketry and the corresponding heat shield. On the interior, a new set of correct floor mats was installed, while the front seats were reupholstered with new foams and covers.
The exhaust note of the numbers-matching 4.2L DOHC inline-6 resonates through a polished stainless steel exhaust system. A new set of Coker Redline 185R15 tires are mated to a set of 72-spoke chrome wire wheels that really make a statement of elegance on this E-type. A thorough inspection revealed that the numbers-matching 4-speed gearbox is still present, as is the body number tag behind the rear license plate fascia. This Series II Fixed Head Coupe is offered as a matching-numbers, low-mileage example in its factory-correct colors, while several upgrades and recent service ensure that this E-type is up to the task for its next driver!
