Our customer acquired this car some years ago in a trade. It has a Series 3 bonnet fitted with the rear end flared and cleaned up in the light area. It has custom wheels filling out the wheel wells and runs and drives very nicely.
This is one of the very few projects that drove here under its own power. Many of the cars we restore tend to come into the shop in many pieces and parts, for this E-Type we had an opportunity to record the build from the very beginning and assess the parts as they came off the car.
Like many customers, David and Tara Ostby have owned and loved this car for many years and explained that this was the first time they had been separated from the car since purchased. The car had been painted some years ago and when we knocked down the paint saw that there was a fair amount of typical Jaguar rust damage in the sills and floors. We also found some weakness in the birdcage area up front.
David intends to own this car “forever” so we built him a car that will last, too. The body is now solid, and all wiring, electrical, and mechanical systems have been gone through, and rebuilt as needed. This is a really spectacular car, and one the Ostbys will be proud to own for a long time.
This lovely coupe was painted the lovely gun metal grey color here a few years back, and has been patiently awaiting its new red interior. The car has received a fresh engine and drive train rebuild, as well as a complete exterior restoration. The car belonged to the owner’s father and will stay in the family. We’re proud to help keep it rolling.
This car was delivered back in 2011 to a gentleman who loved Healeys and knew how he wanted it done. This car was sent into the Rockies where the owner used it to enjoy the beautiful scenery and traffic free back roads.
This car was bought well in Scottsdale. Very solid workmanship on the paint and interior, one of the best Healey’s I saw out there that year. After it came home the owner had us go through the car. It looked like the last 10% of the mechanical work was rushed. We squared it away and the car now looks, runs and drives great!
