1964 JAGUAR E-TYPE 3.8 LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE, WITH FACTORY WEBASTO SUNROOF. ORIG OPALESCENT SILVER BLUE WITH NAVY BLUE TRIM. Up for sale, here on Ebay by KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS, is a 1964 Jaguar E-type 3.8 Liter Coupe with a rare and desirable Webasto Continental Sunroof. Jaguar had these sunroofs fitted to their cars by special order by their buyers. The cars were produced as standard coupes by the Company, then sent out to a Webasto fitter at one of their locations. After fitment of the roof, to a very high level of quality, the car was then delivered to a Jaguar dealer for the customer to take delivery of the new car. This was more common on European-delivered cars, as it was fairly rare to see a sunroof car in the States. I'm sure that the JDHT Certificate would have mention of this option. This 3.8 Liter coupe was originally produced in Opalescent Silver Blue with a Navy Blue trim. A very nice light, cool color for a closed car... It has it's correct and original data plate. It had an engine change at some point in it's life with earlier E-type engine R8898-9. Both the cylinder head and block match to that number. The engine is currently stuck and needs rebuilding. It has a correct 3.8 transmission and triple carb induction system. The body overall is decent. The original front dipped floor sections need to be replaced. The bonnet is actually very good with no rust-through, and has excellent shape and form to it. It appears to have come from a primrose-colored car. The trunk area looks decent from the inside, but there is some repairable rust-through areas on the underside. There is an extra hatch lid included with the car that is complete with all the needed parts. There is some minor damage to the LH rocker panel around the battery area. The rocker panels overall appear very solid. Apart from the front floors, the main floors in the car look exceptionally nice and very solid. The doors and hatch lid fit well. This car is mostly complete but is missing a few easy items. Parts needed include a radiator and bonnet front subframe, headlight glass covers and rims, motif bar, air cleaner can, driveshaft, and windshield chrome trim (the lower is present). These items are all available new or used, and are shared with other models. The sunroof still retains all the correct and special items needed for restoration, including the fitter's badge plates. Overall, this is a very good, decent 3.8 Liter Coupe for full restoration. It has the extremely rare and special feature of a factory "authorized" Webasto Continental Sunroof, which would clearly set this car apart from other Coupes on the Concours field when restored. In my opinion it offers the best of both worlds: the visually stunning lines of the Series One Fixed Head Coupe coupled with the open air motoring sensation of a sunshine roof, all original and factory correct to this car... This car is located and can be viewed in Southern California. It is sold with a clear and current California title. $32,500.KURT TANNER RESTORATIONS. 909-920-9221, work. 909-241-1051, cell.
