Jaguar E-Type (1970)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

Up for auction is a 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 4.2 Fixed head Coupe. This fine example is a matching number automobile. 27797 is a time capsule that has had a pampered life, never needing a restoration, shouting it's correctness and originality in every way, just as when it crossed the pond from Coventry, England. The only character trait that is not original, is a beautiful repaint in Glasurit #302, performed to the highest standards in it's original coveted color of Regency Red, and of course new base rubber when reassembled. An accident free survivor, no filler, and the only discerning rust resides in the battery tray. Beautiful fit and finish with perfect gaps. This gem is an absolute dream to drive. No unexplainable phantom rattles or noises. Starts immediately with a quick turn of the key. No smoking upon start up, at an idle, or at any RPM. No consumption of oil. SU carbs are tweaked in perfectly...Idles, accelerates and effortly glides through it's power bands, resonating the infamous XKE throaty tones. Transmission is equally impressive. All gauges amazingly work (even the clock). Bright work is very nice. Wire wheels exceptional. Glass is all Triplex, original and clear. The upholstery is simply stellar for it's age...only adding majestically to the heritage. No cracks in the seats and the dash is near flawless...Oh the old factory senses of that wonderful vintage Connolly leather, (no smoker) smell. Very little TLC is needed here. The only service I would consider performing in the future, is possibly charging the AC, if needed or wanted, and a fresh set of shocks, (still rides well). Steering is extremely tight and responsive. Recent battery and tune. Original tool kit and owner's manual. Unequivocally a blue chip investment, as Fixed Heads have appreciated. Not often do you come across a find such as this. As an industry standard quote...a car is only original once in it's lifetime. You can drive it home, or I will be happy to facilitate in the shipping department. There are many more pictures on my Photobucket site, detailing shots of the undercarriage, interior, engine bay, etc. Go to Google, type in 'konschot photobucket', then to my library, scroll to 1970 Jaguar XKE. Thanks, and good luck.
