Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very nice E-type Fixed Head Coupe. I purchased this car a few years ago from a dealer friend of mine in San Diego. It's been a California car from new and lived it's early life in Los Angeles. I have lots of old registrations, insurance cards, receipts, and other paperwork for it so it's a nice car with a good California local history, and it is a full matching numbers example.When I purchased the car it had been sitting since 1985. It was just a nice, used, running and driving car at that time, but was parked inside a garage because of a braking issue. The rear calipers were leaking and needed a rebuild. Going through the receipts, there was a complete documented engine rebuild a few years prior to that. At some point the car ended up being stored outside under a tarp.I purchased the car and had it running the first day. The engine runs excellent on a can of gas with good oil pressure, no smoke or noises, and seems very healthy. I wanted to keep this car as a usable road car for myself, so I set about to perform a full cosmetic and partial mechanical restoration. The car was partially and carefully disassembled. It was then pressure washed in the engine compartment and and the undercarriage. Most of the exterior chrome was sent out for quality rechroming and is still wrapped up. The car received a replacement passenger floor, which was the only rust area on the car. The body was completely stripped down to bare metal, any small repairs were made, the bonnet was lightly sandblasted to make it clean. The car received quality body work and paintwork to excellent standards by an Jaguar E-type specialist, and the results speak for themselves. The car is painted in very dark green "Balmoral Green" with a hint of fine metallic. It's very attractive on the E-type shape. The car's 2-year old paint could use a light polish before fitting up of the chrome, rubber, and glass items. There is not one chip or scratch on the paintwork and since completion, and the finish is excellent. Additional work/items purchased include: -the 8 brake calipers re-sleeved in stainless steel, but yet to be assembled with new kits provided -a nice set of wheels and tires purchased-a complete new exhaust system -new, high quality, green wool carpet kit including Hardura mats from K and H Upholstery-NOS body rubber for most of the car.-correct wool Broadcloth material for headliner restoration-restored, painted fuel tank.-misc. NEW : engine rubber hoses, ignition tune-up, air cleaner, front and rear pads, brake master cylinder, rebuilt original brake booster, water valve, oil filter, fuel pump, new knock-off set. I also had the interior seat set re-stuffed with new rubber seat diaphragms and bottom foam. The plan was to tidy up the interior trim and make it usable and presentable for now, with that original look. This car is 100% complete. Items not pictured but present are the excellent original front windshield and air cleaner triangle. Overall, an excellent and desirable Series 1.5 Two-Seater Coupe in an original, breathtaking color scheme. This very original car offers a huge headstart on a restoration of an excellent California car with good history. Much time and money has been spent so far. A very attractive offering that needs easy finishing. Please look at all pictures and call or email with any questions. This car is sold with a clear title and is available for inspection by appointment. This car is located in Southern California, 35 minutes (30 miles) from the Los Angeles Port of Long Beach.
