Often viewed as one of the most beautifully designed cars of its time, this Jaguar still has some mighty good looks after hibernating in a barn for the past 30 years. This is a desirable Series 1 car, and it appears to be complete. The seller has also stated this is a numbers matching car. We have seen much worse XKE’s pop up for sale, so this one seems like a reasonable starting point for an XKE fan. It has been bid up to $14,000, but it is early in the auction. This XKE also has an available “Buy it now” of $60,000. Find it here on eBay out of Long Branch, New Jersey.

The heart of this cat is present, but with little information offered as to its condition. The engine looks complete and the overall visible condition isn’t too bad. We hope that the engine is at the least “free” and could potentially be started, or rebuilt.

The body of the E-Type really is a pleasant view. Although there is rust present in this Jaguar. The Rockers have some bubbling, the lower edges of the doors have some holes also. The passenger side of the car appears rustier than the driver’s side. The underbody is surprisingly clean, there is some surface rust here and there, and the pinch seams have some rust, but overall the underbody is nice. The bonnet looks straight and clean aside from some paint chipping, a straight bonnet is a big plus. The tail of the car is clean with only surface present in some of the nooks and crannies.

Despite this big cat being in good shape, it appears some rodents had their way with the interior. The interior looks like it wasn’t in too bad of shape when this E-Type was parked. The seats have been chewed on a bit, but the door panels looks surprisingly nice. The Dash and steering wheel look pretty good showing a nice layer of dust, but with no apparent cracks.

E-Types in the past decade have become a hot commodity, especially series 1 cars. This is an excellent starting point for a restoration, being a numbers matching car that is complete and original. Plus the color on this one is stunning. We would love to see this one once a restoration was completed. What do you all think the final hammer price will be on this E-Type? Or do you think someone is going to get sweaty palms and pull the trigger on the “Buy it now” option?
