1963 Jaguar XK-E Coupe Lightweight Conversion by Eagle s/n 888236 Silver with Dark Green Leather Specializing in performance enhanced Jaguar E-Types; Eagle is perhaps the best recognized Jaguar conversion firm in the world. Having successfully competed in the 1999 FIA Acropolis Historic Rally and 2004 Lemans Legends venues, their products are event proven, dynamic, and fortified machines. Having started life as a stock, road going Series I E-Type coupe, this car saw a full`Lightweight` conversion by Eagle which was finished in November of 2004. This comprehensive and expensive job included modifications to the engine, body, suspension, electronics, cooling system, braking system, interior, and wheels. Following are the specifications for this chassis: Seatbelts converted to modern 3-point system Custom fitted door mirrors Battery isolator switch installed Electronic tachometer fitted Aluminum header tank Aluminum bonnet, doors, and trunk lid were fitted AP front and rear brake calipers with larger, vented rotors Wider Magnesium wheels Modern, wider Pirelli `Scorpion` tires All Syncro 5 Speed Getrag transmission Engine completed over hauled By Rob Beere and updated to 4.7 liter specs: Sport big valve cylinder head with sport cams Sport lightened and balanced engine Gas flowed head with matched ports Gated anti-surge sump Ultra big bore tubular exhaust manifolds Fabricated sport engine mounts Harmonic crankshaft damper Electronic ignition fitted with performance plug leads Modern performance electronic fuel pump Brass water header tank Kevlar reinforced cooling system hoses Modern cooling fan and switch Stainless braided brake hoses Adjustable brake bias Spax adjustable shocks Halogen headlights Stainless steel exhaust and modified mounts Custom Fabricated alloy fuel tank Endurance battery High output charging system- 75 amp alternator Lightweight, geared starter motor Efficient, lightweight aluminum radiator Lightweight cooling fan Polyurethane steering mounts GT torsion bars and springs GT sway bars and bushings Updated rear suspension mounts Polyurethane radius arm and arb bushes Updated engine mounts Thicker wood sports steering wheel High powered brake booster with stainless heat shielding F & N performance air filters Billet aluminum steering rack mounts Sport radius arm conversion The total cost of the above modifications was in excess of $110,000. The resulting automobile supplies an exquisite driving experience. The 4.7 liter engine is producing 307 hp measured at the rear wheels, and more than 300 ft/lbs of torque from 3,200 to 5,200 rpm. The suspension is compliant and progressive, the gearbox smooth, and the brakes more than effective. The car feels nicely tuned, tight, robust, and masculine. It is an absolute riot to drive. The car has traveled 4,189 miles since the conversion and restoration was completed. There are no outstanding issues with the car mechanically, and no major flaws to speak of cosmetically. The extremely high quality silver paint is holding up nicely, and all the chrome, window glass, and lenses, are in like-new condition. The wheels and knock offs are spotless. The interior is trimmed in high quality, soft, dark green leather and black carpets. The thicker, stronger wood wheel is in excellent condition. Apart from some very minor wear on the driver`s seat bolster, the interior is also like-new. The car is currently registered and titled in California and legal for street use. With the car comes a Jaguar E Type owners manual, Eagle Specification, service, checkover, cavity wax processing booklets, E-Type magazine articles from July of 2005 about this car, an extra set of keys, and full receipts from the beginning of the conversion and a photo documentation of all work (including the engine overhaul). You will not find a faster, more entertaining E-Type. Period.
