Sellers description:
This car had a body off restoration three years ago and it was brought back to it's original condition with the exception of the much needed addition of a stock E-Type Triple SU set-up and a heavy duty aluminum radiator. I still have the original parts if you are a purist. It has only been driving a few hundred miles a year since. It runs and drives great! There is nothing like the sound of a well tuned Jaguar 6 cylinder.

At Auction Saratoga - late Sept.

www.saratogaautoauction.org/vehicles/71/1969-jaguar-e-type

This car was totally restored about 10-years ago, with keen attention to detail. The stunning and vibrant factory correct Signal Red paint is in excellent condition. The flawless interior features tan leather bucket seats and leather trim. One of the values of the 4.2 Series are the interior creature comforts not found on the Series 1. The Series II featured wider, more comfortable and supportive bucket seats. Another feature of this particular vehicle are the gleaming chrome wire wheels.

As a later version this car has the styling cues mandated by US safety standards with wrap around bumpers front and back with more visible parking brake lights. A major complaint about the earlier cars was the headlight covers, which became fogged and dimmed the light. In the Series II the covers were removed and the headlights were raised so visibility as night is much improved. The front opening in the hood is wider to improve engine cooling.

Also making this a more drivable car was a new, Jaguar designed, all synchromesh 4-speed gearbox, which replaced the unloved and difficult Moss gearbox.

Power comes from the enlarged version of the smooth running inline six-cylinder XK engine now bored out to 4.2 liters and given a stronger crankshaft . This car has the more three of the more desirable SU carburetors but the original Stromberg carbs will be included with the car. This larger engine actually put out the same horsepower as the smaller 3.8 but had far more torque. With the SU carbs it can develop 265 HP and with its super smooth body can reach speeds close to 150 MPH. These cars were noted for their ability to cruise at high speeds.

This car has exceptionally low mileage, only 5500 since restoration. The current owner has had the vehicle carefully maintained on a regular basis and driven it less than 2,000 rain free miles since purchase in 2008. He just installed a new electronic ignition system. An aluminum radiator is also included with the car.

As might be expected from such a stunningly restored example of the Series II E-type this is a matching numbers car with full Jaguar Heritage documentation.
