Description

This is a true two owner, zero rust, 40,800 mile XKE from Arizona that received a $200,000 complete nut and bolt restoration by Farland Classic Restoration three years ago. It has been driven 250 miles since. During the restoration it received a complete color change to British Racing Green and a 5-speed close-ratio transmission was added for better highway cruising. Factory A/C, new chrome wire wheels, correct original exhaust system & radio. Also included is the completely restored factory hard top. The top is black, like all factory hardtops of this era.

Click through the photos and you'll see how the car came in to the shop. The engine was completely disassembled and rebuilt. The engine bay was thoroughly restored as well. This is a color change project that will hopefully be undetectable 100 years from now. Top to bottom, our professionals put their all into this complete restoration.
