564 DFJ laid dormant in a garage for decades, after its subsequent purchase, CMC were entrusted to carry out a restoration/preservation project in May 2013. Chassis 850060 was an unrestored car when it arrived on our premises, arguably one of the most original E-Type’s to enter our care.
The car won the Best of Show award at the RAC’s 14th annual Midsummer Drive-In and Concours in June 2015.
Chassis No. 60 was the first E-Type restoration finished in our new facilities.
Everything was dismantled down to the last nut bolt and washer, finding a modification by the previous owner to gain more legroom by cutting out the rear bulkhead to install the half-moon shape as in later E-Types. Unfortunately, he had this modification done in fibreglass, which bonded to the steel so the rear bulkhead lost a lot of its strength and virtually broke in half – CMC put it back to how it would have been originally.
After a first thorough assessment CMC estimated that about 80 per cent of the original metal could be re-used. Almost 100 per cent of the mechanical components could be saved, including engine, transmission, differential and suspension.
