Car currently resides in Enid, Oklahoma. Is getting a new top, extensive interior work and re-crome on a number of exxterior items. Otherwise, it is in very-good, unmolested original condition.

I was going to put a new top on it, but the further I got the more problems I found. The car now has new floor pans, inner and outer sills and rear quarter panels. The interior is new and the body has been refinished in the original, regency-red color.
I was careful to sort, catalogue, strip and re-plate the cadmium and black oxide hardware and parts. The motor, transmission and rear end have been rebuilt to original specifications.

Arizona 2024 Phoenix, Arizona
1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2-Litre Roadster
$125,000 - $150,000 USD | Offered Without Reserve
Chassis No. 1R 14119
Documents US Title
One of the finest Series 2 E-Type Roadsters available
Recipient of a six-figure, nut-and-bolt concours restoration to original specifications
Finished in factory-correct Regency Red over black leather
Documented by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, over 100 pages of invoices, and scores of photographs from the restoration process
Restored to Jaguar Club North American standards and ready for any concours display
Chassis 14119 is an exceptional example, certainly ranking among the finest Series 2 E-Types in existence. Completed 11 June 1970, the car was dispatched 21 July 1970 for distribution through British Leyland of New York, finished just as it is today in Regency Red over black leather trim with a black convertible soft-top.
Following acquisition by the consignor, chassis 14119 was treated to a nut-and-bolt, concours-quality restoration. Work began by meticulously documenting the car’s disassembly process to a bare body tub before a respray in its stunning original shade of Regency Red. A member of the Jaguar Club of North America, the consignor ensured each detail was carefully refitted just as it was originally installed in Coventry five decades earlier. Following its completion, the quality of the car’s restoration was much lauded, including wins at the Grand National Roadster Show and British Cars in the Ozarks gathering, as well as earning the Palmetto Award at the 2021 Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance. Accompanying the sale are scores of photographs and invoices documenting the close to $100,000 in parts and labor bestowed upon the car during its multiyear restoration.
This exceptional Series 2 E-Type Roadster surely ranks among the finest examples of any E-Type, ready to stand on the concours green and hold its own against any number of fine automobiles.
