\u00a01968 E-Type OTS Roadster Project – SOLD!
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

This one is SOLD! – But there are always more E-Type projects popping up around here looking for a new home – call or write to us to be added to the “early bird” list of the first people to get a chance at the next project!<\/span><\/p>\n

Another customer has asked for our help in selling their E-Type project – it’s another GREAT one – and it’s also another one that is WELL underway! \u00a0The restoration has been started, and most of the metalwork and bodywork is complete!<\/p>\n

This is a 1968 Series 1.5, 4.2-liter E-Type Roadster – or “Open Two-Seater” (OTS).\u00a0 This E-Type restoration project is complete, numbers-matching, and does not appear to have suffered any major collisions.\u00a0 It was originally Opalescent Silver Grey with a Black interior. \u00a0The metalwork is completed, and only the final bodywork and finish paint remains to be applied.<\/p>\n

The car still retains it’s original 4.2-liter engine – which did run when the car was disassembled for paint and bodywork several years ago.\u00a0 It also has its original 4-speed full-synchro gearbox – and the car was able to be driven around as well at that time.<\/p>\n

Provenance –
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

This E-Type is all numbers matching – the current owner acquired a Heritage Certificate from Jaguar that confirms the numbers. \u00a0The engine block and gearbox are both stamped with the correct number matching the Heritage Certificate, and a new data plate has been created thaat reflects all of the correct numbers.<\/p>\n

The thumbnails below show the new data plate and all of the matching engine and gearbox stampings.\u00a0 The last 2 digits of the chassis number have been removed for privacy, but they do match, of course.\u00a0 You can click these photos to enlarge them.<\/p>\n
