“The Museum of Modern Art in New York City placed a Jaguar E-Type in its permanent exhibit. The E-Type was just the third car to be honored by the curators of the museum's permanent exhibit. Released in 1961, the E-Type was the first model released by Jaguar Motors after a disastrous fire destroyed the company's production facilities in 1957. The car's sleek lines made it an immediate success. The E-Type is the epitome of Jaguar's exquisite feel for body design. The car is literally a work of art.”

During restoration it was decided to perform numerous upgrades for enhanced Performance and reliability although leaving the Jag’s standard appearance. It is a true performance sleeper!

Updates include. Rebuilt engine, balanced, blueprinted, upgraded with competition-grade bearings and pistons, high-performance camshafts, upgraded carburetors, stainless-steel exhaust manifolds and two-inch performance exhaust, providing well over 300 HP. The original 4-speed gearbox has been replaced with a Medatronics JT5 five-speed manual gearbox running through an aluminum flywheel. Further upgrades include a Ron Davis Racing aluminum radiator and cooling fan, gear-reduction starter. Chassis and handling upgrades include Koni adjustable shock absorbers, Zeus stainless-steel four-piston front-brake calipers, 6” wide Dayton wire wheels and 205/70/15 radial tires.

Having done only break in mileage to date to sort the restoration, this E-type Coupe is perfect E-type for seasonal road use, concours or use in vintage rallies such as the Copperstate 1000.

This E-type Coupe is superb in every way.
