This stunning E-Type Roadster was originally manufactured on December 31, 1964, and dispatched to Jaguar Cars in New York on January 18, 1965. After years spent turning heads on the road, this Jaguar was carefully restored by renowned specialist Dave Ferguson at Images Autobody in Campbell, California, and completed in 2004. During this nut-and-bolt restoration, every body panel was taken down to bare metal and refinished with multiple coats of Glasurit primer and urethane enamel paint. The Jaguar’s engine, gearbox, and suspension were rebuilt, and specific attention was paid to ensure that components received their correct finishes, for complete authenticity.

The restoration was well documented, with over 400 photographs, and digital copies remain on file. Upon completion, the Jaguar won First in Class at the 2004 Classics by the Sea Concours in Half Moon Bay, California, and at the 2005 Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance in California. This gorgeous E-Type has been driven extremely sparingly under current ownership, mostly remaining stored in the consignor’s collection. The Jaguar is finished today in Opalescent Silver Gray metallic over red leather upholstery, offset with a beige canvas top. The car is accompanied by its JDHT Certificate, tool kit, records, and a copy of a detailed magazine article chronicling the restoration. This exceptionally beautiful E-Type, retaining its matching-numbers engine and benefiting from a meticulous, concours-quality restoration by one of North America’s foremost Jaguar specialists, is an example worthy of close consideration.
