McAlaer of Washington, D.C. on September 21, 1963 as a 1964 model. This E-type Roadster was restored by the previous owner approximately in the early 2000's and has accumulated approximately 10,000 miles since. A stunningly elegant color combination, this E-type received several modern upgrades with the thought of producing not only a beautiful restoration, but also a vintage Jaguar with modern amenities that allow it to be far more useable, reliable and fun. These upgrades include, Higher compression pistons for just that little extra performance, a 5-speed Tremec gearbox (full synchromesh – 5th gear for better highway cruising original fitment was the standard non-synchro 4-speed Moss gearbox), Lightened flywheel, Recored radiator with auxiliary fan, Electronic ignition, Electric fuel pump, Gear reduction starter, Uprated Generator, Hi-Performance air cleaners, Uprated Wilwood brakes, 4.2 liter reclining seats (rather than 3.8 buckets), Blaupunkt Europa with modern components for Ipod capability, Custom fit tonneau cover and a Stainless Steel exhaust system. All items add to the cars driving enjoyment, but when viewed are not visible, so it's still perfect for the concours lawn.
