Description

This 1964 Jaguar E-type FHC is a matching-numbersSeries 1 3.8 liter example on offer by the brother of its recently deceasedowner. This is a black plate California car that has been in the hands of just 3 Bay Area owners from new. Documentation from Jaguar confirms this car was built in December 1963, finished in black over red with engine #RA4771-9. It now runs a fully rebuilt engine with high compression pistons, sportcams and Borg-Warner T-5 5-speed transmission designed to offer both improved performance and reliability. This is a well-maintainedSeries 1 E-type thathas beena regular participant at local Bay Area drives and Cars N Coffee meets for many years.The car was purchasednew by Mr. F. Bellchi of Richmond, CA in February 1964. Mr. Bellchi sold itto his next door neighbor, Mr. Goshay, who had wantedhis neighbors car from the day it arrived and Mr. Bellchi had promised to sell it to him when it was time. The car has never rusted and retains a nicemix of original and restoredcomponents finished in its correct black over red leather interior.Chromeis straight and shiny withlight surface pitting.Paint is a mix of original and partial resprays performed over the years. Sheet metal is straight with good panel gaps, though it appears that minor bodywork was performed on the passenger side in the past. Note excellent and scratch-free glass all around. All new door seals, rebuilt tachometer (original).....Red leather seats have beenreupholstered and the seller says the interior strikes a perfect balance between restored and original. All gauges, lights, switches and electrical accessories work.The car has been upgraded with Wilwood disc brakes and the engine has beenrebuilt over the course of the last six years.Now fitted with higher compression XK Unlimited 9.1 compression pistons with a .020 overbore, performance cams and more, the seller says his brother focused on reliability and the new owner can be confident taking it on tours and rallies immediately. The 5-speed conversion employs custom modifications to the input shaft and output flange for proper fit andoffers much improved drivability – the car cruises easily at70 MPH turning around 2,000 RPMs.The caris very clean underneathyear old with a newer stainless steel exhaust. The rear suspension was completely rebuilt last year, and more recently the front suspension was just gone through.
