Here is a "feel good" story about rescuing an old XKE from a garden. Result is very pleasing. Image Unavailable, Please Login https://www.foxnews.com/auto/rotting-jaguar-restored-small-fortune
"The 10th E-type to ever roll off the Jaguar production line has now undergone a full nut and bolt restoration at the hands of our industry-leading E-type specialists. Discovered what is believed to be the 10th Jaguar E-type ever built . . ." I assume they mean the 10th. 4.2, otherwise they need a history lesson! Looks lovely whatever.
Hi, Sure, it has to be something like that, I have the 41st XJ6C. And the 183rd V12 LHD E-type roadster. But it does not look like this car: http://www.xkedata.com/cars/detail/?car=1E10010 Maybe it was RHD? (in England) like #1E1010? For the anorak folks, the early S1 4.2's did not have the "1E" prefix. Cheers!
