ONE of ONE With an appreciation for the purist but with modern realiablity! We have tracked all the costs on this build and will furnish tickets with the purchase. We decide to let you take it to the shows and magazines and claim it as your build. The two times we showed the car it took a first and a second. Original mile are correct for this car as it was stored in Texas for years prior to our build. Supercharged / Fuel injected 4.2 Jaguar motor with all vintage touches. Everything is NEW and operational. Dyno tuned. Interior was made by a very high end shop in lipstick red leather installed on early seat frames in perforated leather. All wool carpets in matching red color. Door cards and rear deck in turned aluminum that has been clear coated. Black headliner is suede. Custom roll cage. There is an area that is activated by a dash mounted toggle switch that opens by remote cylinder. Steering wheel is for racing but it also has stock wood wheel in perfect condition. Fuel Cell mounted in center of fuel area for balance. Fuel filler is in rear hatch. Stainess braided lines feed the injection system and are used for the return lines. Car is balanced 52% front 48% rear. Injection system was designed for this "E" by Accell system (EFI) from Wixom Michigan. System is full programmable by lap top and is perfectly tuned. We spent over $8K on the fuel system itself and it is the best you can purchase. Computer samples a dozen settings and makes automatic adjustments prior to starting the car. No adjustments needed wherever you drive the car. The advantages are remarkable and beautifull. Supercharger is a chrome plated Eaton unit with 5 pounds boost. The supercharger is controlled by togggle switch and electric clutch. Blow off valves are used. Aluminum grooved pully was made for the crank to operate the supercharger. Special mounting brakets allow for exhaust removal and one wire alternator installation. Intercooler is used. Air Intake is all hand made aluminum with three chromed Weber side draft throttle bodies with injectors mounted very close to the intake valves. Long tubbed headers to a 3 inch exhaust to the rear or open the dump tubes for racing. Body is 4 inches wider at the wings (quarter panels) with carbon fiber and fiberglassed wings allowing for bigger tires. Roof line was cut by 1.87 inches at the "A" pillar but stock at the "B" pillars for a raked look. Lexan windows, custom bonnet, custom wheels in stainless, side exhaust and resonators for rear, welded rear bumbers with life time warranty. All body work and painting was done by a SEMA Award winning shop. There is NO rust anyplace on this car. Project was media blasted 100% and frames were inspected for cracks and then re welded as needed. Car is detailed at every angled including the under side which we added smoothing panel to for air flow. Rear view mirrors have camera mounted inside and 9 inch monitors under dash for a clear view down both sides of the car. Hand made screens to protect the headlamp glass covers. New everything! every nut, bolt, screw and rivet was removed in this seven year build. Car is extremely fast and street legal as long as you keep the side pipes closed. This could very well be the fastest and most well thought out "E" in the world. ABS brake system with crossed drilled Brimbos at all four locations WE INVITE INSPECTION OF THE BUILD TO HIGHLIGHT OUR WORK.

Must be rust free but does not need to be runningOn Dec-12-10 at 21:53:51 PST, seller added the following information: No bidder will be awarded with out a positive history of bidding on ebay and no zero bidder qualifies On Dec-13-10 at 05:45:29 PST, seller added the following information: I have been getting a lot of requests for the reserve so to be fair to everyone the reserve is $68,000.00 The tickets thousands of dollars above that figure and then my labor to design and build were free. I design the car to be a racer so it does not have features like a radio. If a radio would have made it go faster then it would have one in it. It does not have air conditioning for the same reason. This is a go fast design but with street smarts and the cleanest re designed Jaguar body. The car as it sets today is a show car but unlike some show cars this things is a master piece of technology. Once you start driving it you will not have a 100 point show unless you move back ten feet. Right now it is the best of both worlds. ONce you purchase the car you will need to decide what direction you want to take with the E.
