Sold by Classic Jaguar, Austin, Texas.
For sale description follows: "First, let's get the bad news out of the way! This 1963 E Type requires a total restoration. It has rust in all the usual places. At a minumum it will need complete floors, inner and outer sills, and pretty extensive repairs to the bonnet.
The good news is this car really is a prime candidate for restoration. It is a two owner, matching number car that was put away in driving condition back in the mid seventies. Better still, it is 99.9% complete, missing nothing of any significance."
