The purpose of this new blog is to allow family and friends to track the progress of restoration of a 1964 Series 1 E-Type Jaguar Fixed Head Coupe.  The car was purchased on 21 April 2018.  The project is budgeted to require about two years of work and hopefully will be completed to a show-worthy level of quality.  One objective will be to preserve as much of the original vehicle as possible. This blog will not be made available to the public, but only to invited family and friends.


Here is the car as received on 21 April 2018




This car had not been run since 1990 and had spent about four years parked outdoors
Remarkably, three of the tires still held air.  We replaced the fourth with a mounted spare
we had brought just for that purpose.


We are loading the car into the enclosed trailer



In the trailer, ready to be strapped down for the trip home.



At home now after a quick polish to see what color the paint is.


There will be a delay for a while as other projects need to be completed before work on the Jag can be continued.
