Sellers description:
1965 Jaguar E-type Coupe. The date of manufacture of this great car was December 16 of 1964 and the date of dispatch was December 30 of 1964. The car is finished in its original and very desirable color combination of Opalescent Silver Blue with Dark Blue interior. This is an early 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe and one of the first 400 coupes made. This beautiful Jaguar E-type is a matching numbers car. It does come with a Heritage Certificate confirming original colors and all numbers. In addition, it also comes with documentation of the substantial work done to this car since 2006. The goal was to make this car an exceptional driver with driver upgrades. Also, from what we understand, there has not been a lot of miles placed on this car since this work has been done. This car does run and drive great. We have driven this car extensively in the humid and warm North Carolina summer and the car holds temperature great thanks to the Aluminum radiator and electric fan upgrade. Furthermore, the cockpit remains nice and cool with a new RetroAir air conditioning system installed and designed specifically for Jaguar E-types. The Jaguar E-type presented here has plenty of power and a lot of fun to drive. This Jaguar is fantastic to drive at any speed as well and very tight throughout. There is no shaking in the steering wheel, no noises (or grinding) in any of the gears, no rear end noise and the clutch feels great. It has excellent oil pressure, and the compression was tested recently (7/20/15): 1)-150psi, 2)-155, 3)-145, 4)-155,5)-145,6)-150. Everything is working as it should and is truly a pleasant car to enjoy.

Some of the work done over the past 10 years that we have correspondence on and invoices on this E-type Coupe are as follows:
Rebuilt engine.
Rebuilt carburetors.

New Speedometer cable and angle drive (speedo was bouncing).
Engine compartment detailed. Valve covers removed and polished. Carburetors cleaned and polished. Intake manifold polished. Overflow tank powder coated, as well as heater box and expansion tank. The exhaust manifolds were ceramic coated on inside and out for longevity.
AC system serviced on 6/26/15. Evacuated FREON and leak check system. Recharged system and replaced Schrader valves. New A/C compressor relay installed.

Overall, this E-type Coupe is a higher end driver level car. This is a great car for someone who likes to drive their cars anywhere and enjoy them, rather than just taking them to shows. The Jaguar presented here is a great example of a car that has been well maintained with a lot of recent work done to make it a reliable and fun car. In addition, this is a great investment as Jaguar E-type Series I Coupes have been appreciating rapidly and hard to find in this good of condition with matching numbers and in the original color combination.
