Jaguar E-Type — partially finished and currently awaiting completion

Runs and Stops

This classic Jaguar E-Type is a desirable restoration project for an enthusiast who appreciates iconic 1960s British styling and performance. The car has a solid chassis and many notable components already addressed: bodywork repaired in key areas, bulkhead and floor sections reinforced, major suspension components refurbished, and a rebuilt front subframe installed. Interior work is partially done — seats from different year Jag, dash prepped but awaiting instruments and trim. The original inline-six engine is present and has been partially refreshed (new pistons and bearings fitted), though final reassembly, tuning and exhaust installation remain. Electrical harness work is underway; some wiring is complete while lighting, gauges and certain switches are yet to be finished. Chrome and brightwork are a mix of restored pieces and items staged for rechroming.

This E-Type is ideal for a buyer who wants a project with a lot of the difficult structural and mechanical tasks already completed, shortening the path to a roadworthy, show-ready car. A clear list of remaining work includes final engine assembly and tuning, carburettor setup, full electrical completion, brake system overhaul and finishing trim/brightwork. Located in the Tampa Bay area with a classic car mechanic on hand, we can provide an inspection, estimate to finish, or help source remaining parts to bring this elegant Jaguar back to the road.
