NEWPORT BEACH 2016 CONSIGNMENTS
1971 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster
Consignment # 6084

This outstanding 'Series II' XKE roadster from 1971 benefits from a recent conversion from the standard Zenith-Stromberg carburetors to the legendary triple 2-inch SU carburetor
setup as fitted to the more-powerful earlier 'Series I' XKE models. The entire conversion kit was purchased new from the classic Jaguar suppliers at SNG Barratt. The
Consignor also purchased a complete new interior and convertible top from OSJI, Original Specification Jaguar Interiors, professionally installed by the specialists at Goodwin Interiors in Reno, Nevada. Additionally, XKs Unlimited of San Luis Obispo, California recently performed an extensive amount of work to the engine and drive train for almost 19,000, confirmed by a copy of the invoice from them outlining the work done. The engine block is a matching numbers unit; however, the cylinder head was installed at some time in the past. An extensive history file documents the various repairs performed to the car and the parts that were used over the years. Also included in the offering of this highly desirable XKE are a parts book, owners' manual, workshop manual, and the original Zenith-Stromberg carburetor setup.

Lot 39

1971 Jaguar E-Type Series II 4.2 Roadster

Chassis no. 2R13734 4,235cc DOHC Inline 6-Cylinder Engine

3 SU Carburetors

265bhp at 5,400rpm

4-Speed Manual Transmission

4-Wheel Independent Suspension

4-Wheel Disc Brakes

*Elegant E-Type Roadster in Old English White over Dark Blue

*Much restoration work performed in the past decade, including a new interior

*Excellent example for rallies and tours such as the Copperstate 1000

*Offered with comprehensive history file retaining many receipts, books and manuals

This beautiful Jaguar E-Type Series II 4.2-Liter Roadster was completed at the Browns Lane Jaguar factory during August of 1970, presumably as a 1971 model-year car. The new Jaguar was most likely delivered new to the US market. The comprehensive history file offered with this elegant Jaguar E-Type Roadster contains hundreds of receipts of professional restoration work, service and maintenance performed on the car, dating back to the 1990s. A new interior and convertible top - manufactured by OSJI and fitted by Goodwin interiors of Reno, NV - was fitted around 2014. The Jaguar specialists at XKs Unlimited of San Louis Obispo, California would carry out various mechanical work on the car around the same time, of which there are receipts for more than $18,000. Although no numbers appear visible on the engine, it carries the correct 4.2-Liter casting number as original to the car. The Zenith-Stromberg carburetors originally fitted has been substituted for the desirable triple SU carburetor set up, as seen on earlier E-Type models. Finished in elegant Old English White over a dark blue interior with matching carpets, the Jaguar looks just right. A classic wood-rimmed steering wheel is fitted, matched by a wooden gear knob. In addition to the aforementioned comprehensive history file, various marque books and workshop manuals are accompanying the sale of the car. With good looks and plenty of power on tap, this is an eminently usable Jaguar E-Type Roadster ideal high-speed touring on events like the Copperstate 1000.
