This 1966 Jaguar was one of the finer, properly restored examples of this car that I have seen. However, the paint really needed some finishing and correction. The paint has been subject to some substances while sitting as well as a very good degreasing needed. Over the course of a couple days, this XKE-Type was brought back to all of its glory. Its a nice feeling knowing something so iconic can look as great as this example can drive!

In my humble opinion , the Jaguar E Type was and still is the classic example of the British sports car.

That red is stunning!
