This V12 Jaguar E-Type of American origin was subject to a thorough restoration by a Parisian specialist. As per the file of images, the bodywork was carefully restored and now features a gorgeous metallic grey paint. The chrome was redone a few years ago, all wheel covers and accessories are in very good condition. The black leather upholstery was very well refurbished and the entire interior (including the dashboard) is in impeccable condition. The speedometer remains in miles and displays a total of 25,880 miles. The engine was restored in 2011 and during that time, the carburettors were replaced with four refurbished SU. The car has an aluminium radiator, new shock absorbers, a stainless-steel exhaust and a new clutch. The four-speed manual gearbox is recent and the front axle was overhauled. Since this work, our collector, a Jaguar E-Type enthusiast, made sure the car was maintained. In the last two years he has driven it very little, which is why the car is for sale. The enthusiast who will buy this E-Type V12 convertible will be able to enjoy this model's driving pleasure, which combines a design that has become a landmark in the history of automobile with a powerful and flexible engine.
