1974 Jaguar E-type series III V-12 Roadster 4-Speed XKE

Description for Jaguar E-Type 1974

Available here is a 1974 Jaguar XKE V-12 roadster. It is an excellent vehicle that drives out as well as it shows. A very flashy color combination, long with the smooth power of the V-12 and 4-speed transmission, akes this Jaguar a pleasure to drive.  BODY: Bright red exterior paint that is in wonderful condition. The car was purchased out of the southern California area where I believe the car was painted. Estimated that the car was painted about 15 years ago but that is unknown. The chrome and trim is in excellent condition and shows well. Lights, lass, nd rear window are all in very nice shape. The body is very solid, here is no rust that I am aware of on the car. Also, o known accidents. With all this being said, his is NOT a 100 point car. The restoration was believed to be 15-20 years ago but is undocumented, herefore I do not know the age of all areas of the car. There is some wear on the car in certain areas. I've tried to show all those areas in the pictures I have. Several additional pictures that I can send to you. INTERIOR: Beautiful tan interior in the car. Seats are very nice and do not sag. Carpets are in good shape and fit well. Gauges all work and the dash is in excellent condition. Very nice convertible top on the car with a solid and clear plastic window. Car has spare tire, ools, ack,hammer for knock offs, nd owners manual. Once again I have several detailed pictures on the link I can send you.  ENGINE/TRANSMISSION: This is a very nice driving car with the desirable 4-speed. Engine pulls strong and runs out well. The clutch feels great and transmission shifts up and down with ease as it should. There is an updated ignition box that was installed by previous owner. Makes the car very reliable.  Headers through the exhaust is solid and sounds wonderful. The engine was replaced sometime in the car's history so it is a non-numbers matching car. Reason for the replacement is unknown but it is the correct type motor for the car. I have never had any overheating issues with the car. Overall, t performs very well and is a blast to drive. SUSPENSION/BRAKES: Car handles as it should and brakes work great. Power steering works and the car drives straight down the road. There is some mild squeaking in the brakes that happens occasionally.  Overall this is a great car and excellent to drive to shows or just around town. There are about $20k in receipts that come with the car from miscellaneous maintenance and restoration work completed by previous owner.  I WELCOME AND RECOMMEND A PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION BEFORE THE AUCTION IS OVER AND PLEASE ASK TO SEE THE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS.
