Sellers description:
This 1970 E-type roadster is a fully matching number car and as far as I can see, it has never been painted since new. The original red appears in the areas that usually do not get covered when a car is repainted. There is no signs of an accident or overspray on the car. There are 24,000 original miles on the car. It even still has the original wheels and original tires, Dunlop SP Sports. Unfortunately the car was not stored in a heated garagae, but it is a very nice example to restore as no one has attempted it. The floors are in excellent condition, but the car will need a couple of outer sills. Basically you can see in the pictures what the car will need. The engine turns, but does not run. The interior is all original and can actually be used the way it is. The soft top is the original from new. Everything needs to be gone through on the car as it has been sitting a while. The car does rolll and steer for easy shipping.

This 1970 Jaguar E Type series 2 is undergoing a nut & bold restoration to fast road specification. To that end it has had close to £25,000 in additional extra fitted to it. This includes a modern 5 speed gear box, Cooper Craft ventilated Brakes, an aftermarket pedal box for more leg room, upgraded suspension components & a greatly upgraded engine with high life cam's & high compression pistons. The car started life as a LHD car & has been converted to RHD as part of the restoration. We expect it with us in the next 6 weeks or so.

The car has been completely disassembled, all rust treated & new metal let in where necessary. The interior is being done in dark blue hide with blue carpets. Every nut & bolt has been chznged on the car repalcing old with new. The exterior colour is Opalescent Dark Blue & is needless to say in pristine brand new condition.
