Jay Leno checks out a car that has been called the world's most beautiful.
was a high point in sports car history, and this episode of"Jay Leno's Garage" features a well-preserved example.
This 1963 E-Type spent years buried under clutter in a garage in Burbank, California. But because it was parked by its original owner after just a few years on the road, with only about 17,000 miles on the odometer, it remains in all-original condition. And because the E-Type was entombed about a mile from Jay Leno's Garage, it's now part of the collection.
Some work was done to make the car roadworthy after it was pulled out of its slumber. The brake and clutch master cylinders, as well as the brake and fuel lines, were replaced, the differential was serviced, and the sticking passenger-side door was fixed. The wheels were also replaced with slightly wider versions, as the originals were corroded. Everything else is original, though, including the paint, interior, and top. As far as Leno can tell, the top has never even been down.
The car spent most of the past 50 years underneath piles of blankets, water heaters, and other junk. That left some dents in the bodywork , but also protected the bodywork from rust, Leno notes in the video. It even preserved chalk marks left by factory workers during assembly.
