This custom 1971 Jaguar XKE roadster is powered by a 5.7-liter

　　Chevrolet V8 crate engine equipped with an upgraded Holley Sniper

　　EFI fuel injection system. This engine is paired with a 5-speed

　　manual gearbox. This example has undergone an extensive 6-year

　　restoration. The photo-documented restoration included a bare-metal

　　respray in Opalescent Silver Blue, a late '60s Jaguar factory

　　color, applied using DuPont Automotive paint and a clearcoat. The

　　restoration also incorporated the installation of a brand-new

　　E-type FABS major subframe from the U.K., featuring brass and

　　polyurethane bushings. A custom side exhaust, 16x7-inch tubular

　　knock-off wire wheels by Dayton Wheel SVC and a new KO spare wheel

　　in the trunk enhance the aesthetics. The car rides on P215/60R/16

　　Michelin tires. The interior retains the original-style black

　　wrinkle-finish dashboard but is updated with AutoMeter gauges, a

　　Nardi-style steering wheel, 4-point seat belts, a fuel cell, power

　　door locks, a Kenwood stereo head unit and LED lighting throughout.

　　The sale includes a restoration photo book providing detailed

　　documentation of the meticulous restoration process. **TITLED AS
