Thanks for stopping by to take a look at our very cool 1971 Jaguar E Type XKE Fixed Head Coupe project. An instant icon, the E Type celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. How fitting that this example, hidden away in 1982, chose this time to reveal herself.
The FHC is clearly the one to own with classic lines and excellent road manners. Presented as found in a dry Southern California desert garage. The rescue and removal was filmed. See the video. So far, this appears to be a numbers matching car. Our further inspection required.

Please come inspect this great Jaguar XKE before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. Please keep in mind that this is a project car. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car.

If you have been searching one of the world’s best Series One Jaguar E-Type Fixed Head Coupes, you have found it here! Fully Restored in stunning Indigo Blue Metallic with many safety, comfort and performance upgrades!
This Jaguar Concours winner is the best of the best!
This superb E-type, is offered for the first time in 8 years. I have owned Jaguars continuously since 1989, and this is the second E-type (and the best one) upon which I had a full nuts-and-bolts restoration performed. This numbers matching car was built in 2009-2010 by Paul Ireson, of Ireson Motorsports, of Sevierville, Tennessee. Paul was a past George Barris Award winner at the Detroit Auto Show. The full photographic record of the restoration is included with the car.. I sold the car in 2012 to its current owner, who has now asked me to resell the car. Due to some personal issues, the current owner drove the car only approximately 400 miles since purchasing from me. The car was shipped last year back to Paul Ireson for a complete restoration/renewal. After completion of the 8 month renewal process (engine, interior, body and paint), the car was then shipped to me just recently to Fort Myers, Florida.
I had the car restored following several guiding principles:
Respect to the marque and the “most beautiful car ever made” (according to Enzo Ferrari). The Series One Jaguar E-Type is the only automobile on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art In NYC.
Provide performance upgrades without blemishing the original design.
Provide safety and comfort upgrades without distracting from the beauty of the original.

This car had been listed for sale recently, and I removed the listing after we had a sale. Unfortunately the purchaser could not complete the purchase, so the car is again available.
The car runs excellent and strong with tremendous torque! The lightweight flywheel greatly improves revs. The Weber Carbs want to run this car out and are not shy about drinking fuel! A great handling beast of a motorcar!

The car is being sold in AS-IS Condition. The prospective buyer may inspect the car at my location of Fort Myers, Florida, by appointment only. The prospective buyer is also welcome to call Paul Ireson of Ireson Motorsports, in Sevierville, Tennessee for any mechanical/technical questions.
