MATCHING NUMBERS XKE FHCFrame up restoration over the next four years, with over $70k in receipts, done less than 5 years ago. Using only high-quality parts sourced primarily from XKs Unlimited and Moss Motors, the car wears all new paint, new interior, a professionally rebuilt engine and transmission, and much more detailed. Inside, the car received a new biscuit interior with components sourced from XKs Unlimited and Original Specification Jaguar Interior in Muncie, Indiana. A major interior kit including new seats, carpet, door panels, headliner and more was installed—see before shots in the below gallery for a clearer idea of the extent of work. Smiths gauges were rebuilt and all lights, switches and electrical accessories were gone through.Work was very thorough down to heater control cables, choke lamp assembly, trunk luggage chrome bits, 14 shifter rivets, striker plates, wood panels for spare tire well, and more. Early features like toggle switches and aluminum dash highlight the finished cockpit, and the odometer’s recorded 49k miles are believed to be an accurate lifetime total. A working retro AM/FM radio is a nice touch.The engine was completely rebuilt with all systems disassembled and checked. The cylinder head was pressure tested and found to be leaking, so an original E-Type cylinder head was sourced. It was rebuilt and resurfaced with new valve seats, tappet retainers, and a heavy duty racing head gasket. All new gaskets were installed, and the car received a new starter motor, water pump, cap and rotor, and new cooling hoses.Other mechanical work involved a full rebuild of the transmission, fitment of a new clutch, rebuilt SU carburetors, new tie rod ends and much more documented in 30 plus pages of shop invoices, receipts and correspondence viewable below, totaling more than $70,000 in parts and labor.
