Sellers description:
This spectacular car was has been in the position of a collector for over 28 years. Loaded with options, including: the desired 4-speed transmission, chrome wire wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes and more. This car has been in climate controlled storage for the past 15 years and prior to that was only driven sparingly ( 24,972 miles). It is maroon in color (the best color!) with black leather seating. This roadster has a tan Hartz fabric convertible top that was hand crafted. It needs some TLC, and new paint to be perfect. Want to sell out of storage to a true restorer without needless consumer type fluffing. If you know Jags, and want a really good basic car to restore, this is it. Can also be a driver, if that is the goal, but owner had plans for 100% restoration. No time to do so now.

Sellers description:
This car was has been in the possession of a collector with 25 cars for over 28 years. Loaded with options, including: the desired 4-speed transmission, chrome wire wheels, factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes. Original paint. This car has been in passive climate controlled storage for the past 15 years and prior to that was only driven sparingly (28500 miles). It is Regency Red (maroon) in color (the best color!) with black leather seating. This roadster has a new tan Hartz fabric convertible top . It needs some typical Jag TLC, and a repaint to be perfect. The dreaded major rust problem is not there .Want to sell out of dry long storage to a true restorer, without needless consumer type fluffing. If you know Jags, and want a really good basic rust fee car with good mechanicals to restore, this is it. Can also be a driver, if that is the goal, but owner had plans for 100% restoration. No time to do so now, reducing inventory , concentrating on Chrysler 300's. All mechanicals were fine when put away dry after use as a driver for about a year.. Typically, carbs might need checking after storage, that was last done 15 years ago (OEM gaskets shrank). If we have to fluff up to drive away shape, will be looking for 80 . Save 22, you do it.
Many years but very few miles ago, (~2k) this E type had the inner rear axle seals replaced with special high temp types, the rear end removed and rebuilt, and the brakes rebuilt; the power steering rack has been totally disassembled and machined for bronze outer end bushings and hydraulic cylinder type oil seals, curing the two extremely aggravating and recurrent problems with E types. The OPUS ignition was replaced then with new, and minor rust around the driver side rear axle location link body attachment point was rebuilt and strengthened with an added thicker steel anchor plate(a common issue) ; The car was driven several thousand miles without problems after this work, then stored dry. There are no typical JAG rust issues with this car due to heated storage for many years. Repairing a rusty one can cost more than the car itself.
