The interior is offset by impeccable red English hides from Suffolk & Turley, a refinished mahogany steering wheel, wool headliner, polished switchgear and original Blaupunkt LMK radio. It wears its correct, chrome knock-off Dunlop wire wheels with Michelin XWX tires.Sold when new to a Mr. James Angelucci of Norristown, PA, the car was formerly owned by renowned Jaguar expert Reginald Ray who restored the car to JCNA concours standards in 2004 at his shop Jaguar Restorations of Limerick, PA. From there it was purchased by the owner of the Woodhouse Auto Group in Omaha, NE, and held in a private museum, accumulating only 100 miles during that time. In 2012, the current owner acquired the vehicle, accumulating less than 1,900 miles over the last 8 years. The car has been recently serviced and tuned, and is certainly one of the best driving Jaguars we’ve encountered.Of special note is the exceptional panel fit, paint finish and soft trim which was recognized at its first show outing with a class win at the 2012 Road&Track Concours in Elkhart Lake, WI. The car placed second only to a Pebble Beach-winning Ferrari TDF for Best of Show.Offered in impeccable condition, with jack, tool roll, spare tire and Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this award-winning Jaguar E-type coupe will not disappoint.ABOUT THE THROTTLESTOP We are automotive and motorcycle enthusiasts that have lived and breathed great product for over 50 years.
