1966 Jaguar E-Type OTS Roadster Burgundy Restored 4.2 Engine

The body was completely stripped of all it's original paint using mechanical means and wasn't dipped or blasted. The very solid body only needed minor sheet metal work to remove small dents and surface rust. It still retains all its original body panels since the car had been stored for 30 years and showed minimal signs of any rust or corrosion. The only piece that needed replacing was the sheet metal panel beneath the battery compartment. Attention was paid to return the body to the original factory condition and not create a perfect body-fit restoration by using excessive amounts of filler. Panel fit is correct and factory looking without being perfect.

The entire body was properly prepped and sprayed with PPG Deltron Epoxy primer and subsequently painted with Evercoat Polyester Primer. It was then block sanded several times to ensure a flat finish. The painting and finish sanding/sealing was done by Excalibur Auto Body in Eastlake, hio. The car has been repainted to its original factory color of "Opalescent Maroon" in BASF/RM Diamont Basecoat and topped with multiple coats of PPG Deltron Premium Clearcoat.

The undercarriage also was properly prepped and was coated with U-Pol HS Gravitex Stone Chip Protector in a chassis black color. The inner panels have all been correctly rustproofed with various products. A new Robbins convertible top in black Haartz Stayfast cloth (with zipper rear window) was installed along with all new rubber seal mouldings. The original vinyl top enclosure cover (boot) is in good useable condition. A new canvas top enclosure is available from the supplier.

Chrome & Trim:

The front and rear bumpers and overriders, ack up light fixture and trim, oor trim and a few other major pieces have been replated by Custom Chrome Plating in Grafton, hio. All other chrome trim pieces are original and in good condition. One of the headlight trim bezels has some minor dings which are barely noticeable. All lighting lenses were replaced with new.
