SOLD: We are excited to offer another beautiful Jaguar E-type. This 1966 Jaguar E-type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe was built on November 4 of 1965 and the date of dispatch was November 22 of 1965. It is in the original color combination as per the Jaguar Heritage Certificate. It has been refinished in its original exterior color of Cream while still wearing its original Black leather seats. The car was originally sold by Frank Millard Sports Cars, Inc. of Encino, California to Virginia and Dr. James Tilden of Los Angeles, CA. This car is very rare as this Jaguar E-type is equipped with the dealer installed Cool Aire console air conditioning system and is fully functional and blows cold air today.
The Jaguar E-type presented here is an original California car, but moved around a bit until it found its long term home in Phoenix Arizona in 1973. We purchased this car in 2023 from the owner whose ownership spanned the last 50 years. The car only had 42,645 miles when we purchased the car. It now has 42,700 miles and counting, as we drive our cars. The previous owner took meticulous car of the car over the years and climate was conducive to this type of car. This Jaguar was used sparingly over the past few years so we had to go through the car and investe over $20,000 into the car to make it an excellent higher end driver to be enjoyed. As a result this car runs, drives, shifts and stops excellent. As mentioned earlier the car was very well maintained, but needed attention to bring it back to its former driving glory. Most of the work we had completed was as follows:
Removed head to replace leaking head gasket.
Replaced head studs.

We are proud to offer this beautiful 1970 Jaguar E-type Series II Fixed Head Coupe. This Jaguar was built on October 8th of 1969 and the date of dispatch was November 5th 1969. The first owner was Mr. Cotton Guio of Big Piney in Wyoming USA. This great car is the original color combination of Regency Red with biscuit/tan interior. It has history, receipts and correspondence going back to 1973. It was never abused and always kept up with the utmost care. We are privileged to have owned this car several times for the pas 14 years. Our original purchase of this car was in 2010 from a gentleman in NC who owned this car since the early 2000s. We then sold it to a collector in NY who had it for a few years, but unfortunately and unexpectedly passed away. We purchased the car back from his family and did some refresh work to the engine. We then sold the car to another nice man in Maine who had the car for 3 years. He enjoyed the car, but did not drive it a lot only placing less than 700 miles on the car. We then sold this Jaguar to a nice couple near Portland, OR. They owned the car since 2015 and placed about 4,000 miles on the car. This is a very special Jaguar E-type Coupe. There are not a lot of Jaguar E-types that drive as well as this one does. It shifts perfect and handles exceptional. This is a car for someone who is going to drive it and enjoy the car! The interior was redone and looks better than new. In addition, the paint, while not brand new was redone as well and looks beautiful on the car. Furthermore, the engine was rebuilt at 83,750 miles. The car has 88,227 original miles, so to put this in perspective on a 54 year old car, it has averaged 1,631 miles per year with most of the miles placed on this car early in its life. There were only about 18,000 miles placed on this great Jaguar since 1979. The carburetors have also been rebuilt. Some of the work completed more recently between 2/2012 – 8/2024 mostly by our shop (not including the previous work done to this car such as engine rebuild, new interior, paint, etc.):

Over $10,000 invested in the fall of 2024 in improvements and service work. Overall, mechanically this car is excellent. The compression is 150 to 160 psi on every cylinder and the oil pressure is also excellent. Also, it is in great shape cosmetically with an excellent body and structurally sound. The floors are solid and there is no rust on this car anywhere. It really needs nothing to be enjoyed. If you are looking for a fun Jaguar E-type to frequently drive and enjoy, this would be the perfect car for you.
SOLD: We are proud to present this very rare 1930 Mercedes-Benz Stuttgart Cabriolet C. This car has been in the same family since it was purchased in Germany in 1950 and then brought back to North Carolina in 1955. The highlights of this wonderful car and its history are as follows:
The Original date of delivery was May 13 of 1930.
Purchased by Max Garrison while stationed in Germany as a Medic in the United State Air Force during the Korean War.
Garrison shipped this vehicle to the United Stated in the 1950s and titled in North Carolina in 1955 where it has spent the past nearly 70 years.
The car went through an 8 year meticulous restoration from the late 1980s to early 1990s.
One family owned for over 70 years.
Always stored in a climate controlled environment.
6L 6-cylinder engine.
3-speed manual transmission.
When Daimler and Benz entered into a community of interest in 1924, heated debates between the two companies were almost instantaneous and continual. While a common goal existed between the two companies, a contentious past between them was certain to cause riffs—and it did. Both agreed the company needed to produce a midsized car to service the sizeable and potentially lucrative midsize market, along with commercial, military and government interests, but reaching that common goal wasn’t going to be simple.
