This 1964 Jaguar XKE fixed-head coupe subsequently underwent a six-year refurbishment during which it was built into a restomod with several performance and James Bond-themed modifications underneath the factory Series I appearance.Power is provided by a 302ci Ford V8 crate engine that features Edelbrock electronic fuel injection, a high-performance camshaft, and custom exhaust headers.Additional modifications include a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, a Painless wiring harness, Wilwood brakes, black lamb leather upholstery, and a custom Carpathian burl elm dash.The car has been outfitted with Bond-inspired touches such as a glass breakage and proximity alarm, satellite monitoring of the car, a hidden firearm compartment, a retractable digital screen, a rear-view camera, a “fire missiles” cigarette lighter, and more.The exterior was repainted in silver during the refurbishment, which was carried out by Mike Nadeau’s Street Rods & Restorations between 2000 and 2006.The unibody shell was placed on a rotisserie for the finish work after the body was acid-dipped.The exterior skins retains its factory Series I FHC styling, including covered headlights, turn signals mounted above small bumpers with over-riders, and wire wheels.Anti-theft breakage alarms have been fitted on the glass throughout the car.15” chrome wire wheels feature two-eared knock-offs and wear Goodyear Assurance tires measuring 205/60.The four-wheel disc brakes have been updated with Wilwood components and Goodridge stainless steel lines.The coil-sprung independent rear suspension was retained, as was the independent front suspension with longitudinal torsion bars.The interior was customized during the refurbishment with black lamb leather and English worsted wool carpeting.A Carpathian burl elm dash and matching console trim were custom built and are complemented by a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel and wood shift knob.A hidden firearm compartment was added to the left of the steering wheel, and a Pioneer DVD player with a retractable screen was installed in the upper console and is linked to a rear-view camera.Additional modifications include an adjustable proximity alarm and satellite tracking, as well as a kill switch adapted from the choke control.A button reading “fire missiles” has been added in the cigarette lighter location.Smiths instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer.The five-digit odometer shows approximately 4,700 miles, all of which have been added since completion of the refurbishment.
