Rather like gold and property. there are a number of other
investment vehicles (excuse the pun) that can be relied upon within
the classic car market. Cars that. when tracked. prescribe a curve
that can not only be relied upon to remain even and constant but
also offer the investor a reasonably dependable return. Where
it differs from more conventional investments is that it
accelerates to 60mph in 7. 6 seconds. has a top speed of 153mph and
represents one of the most beautiful objects ever penned by a human
being.

Behind the wheel. the visceral experience is exquisite. women
think you are intoxicating and the simple pride of ownership is one
that overrides even an Applecorp share certificate. It's a constant
wonder to me that not everyone has a Jaguar E-Type.

The pinnacle. of course. is the first incarnation of the model. br/>the Series I and it is an extremely well restored one that is
presented here today. It was acquired in a partially restored state
approximately three years ago by the vendor. himself something of a
specialist in this field but probably better known for dominating
the XK racing scene for the last twenty years.

Under Trevor Grooms critical eye. the car was completely
stripped. painted and rebuilt. All bright-work was re-chromed and
the braking system was completely re-worked (with new piping). The
rear differential now has a rebuilt 3. 31 power lock system and the
gearbox has a clean bill of health. A new clutch. fuel pump
& lines and complete new wiring harness has been fitted. The
engine has been completely rebuilt with electronic ignition. br/>rebuilt dynamo and overhauled radiator. The front suspension. shock
absorbers. steering rack (and mounts) are all rebuilt. have new
bushes and refitted and all finished off with a brand new stainless
steel exhaust.

Whilst the mechanics are fully sorted. the interior has not been
neglected. Completely re-trimmed. as you would expect. with new
seats and runners. new hood and hood cover and. most unusually. a
factory hardtop is also included.

This description gives only a brief insight into the works
carried out. further inspection of the history file will show
additional details such as the addition of a new battery and
cut-off. rebuilt heater box and associated pipe work and a new
aluminium dash kit amongst many others.

So. properly restored. a matching numbers car and the model and
configuration to own. use or collect.
