Description for Jaguar E-Type 1970

Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very decent E-type 2+2 for easy improvement. This car was just purchased from the state of Alabama being a Southern car for all of it's life. The seller is believed to be the car's third owner, the original owner being a lady and the second owner was a local college professor.The car came off the road in early 2001 with brake failure but all else was running fine with very good mechanicals. The current seller purchased the car last year, brought the car home and had the engine running healthily within an hour. He set about to rebuild the braking and fuel system and to get the Jaguar back on the road. There is an estimated $2500-3000 in new parts that are pictured and included with the sale of the car.The body on this car is very good to excellent. Panels align decently well with no door sag. The bonnet fit could use some fine tuning. The car is accident-free save for a small dent under the chin of the bonnet. It's very solid and completely rustfree except for some minor rust through on the lower bonnet mouth and a small spot on the outside of the driver's floor. Paintwork is older and showing fine blistering. Chromework all around, including the wire wheels, is actually very nice and would be suitable to go back on the car after some nice paintwork. Glass is great except for a windshield crack. The rear screen rubber became hard and fell apart, so the glass and chrome was removed. This car appears to have been well taken care of overall.The car's interior is preserved and mostly all original with a nice dashboard, original leather seats (that could be dyed), interior panel kit, original carpets, headliner, etc.It appears the original color of the car was maroon, possibly being repainted only once in it's current brown/gold.Mechanically, the car's engine was operating fine recently. There has been some minor disassembly to some components relating to the brakes and fuel system for service work, but the car is 100% complete. The car includes lots of NEW parts including a torsion bar set, carburetor rebuild kit, high torque starter, fuel and brake lines, fuel pump, brake master cylinder, brake servo booster, suspension bushings kit, oil/air/fuel filters, restored and relined original fuel tank, etc. Also included is the original jack and handle in the bag, hub cap removal tool, tool kit in bag, owner's manual, extra original keys, literature - all lovely original items that are seldom found with any E-type.Overall, a very good, honest 2+2 with an original 90k miles that has been tucked away for almost 20 years, needing some easy mechanical servicing in order to return it to the road. It still has very reasonable cosmetics that would work well for now as a driver. This modestly priced 6-cylinder E-type is an exciting prospect and good value as the E-type market is starting to turn around.Please look at all pictures and call or email with any questions.We will assist in shipping worldwide.
