Current bid $19,600 reserve not met 4 bids, 6 days left in auction. 62k miles. Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Sellers description:

Has been owned by the same fellow for over 30 years. I

You can drive this car home, it runs well. Starts right up and maintains good oil pressure when warm. Engine sounds great! Brakes and clutch work fine. Steering column does need a new bushing at top. Engine is original with actual milage, 62,709.

This is not a concours car. Nice driver. Most of the chrome is good, some pitting on the knock offs, thin on a few areas on the front bumper. See photos. The paint is an older respray, has good gloss and flow out but car was not well masked when applied. There is overspray in the engine compartment and a few other spots. It could surely be detailed! Interior is all around decent, but again no show piece. Top is solid too.

Body: Not much rot at all. The front has none. Rear body, trunk and spare tire well are very solid. Not perfect but quite good. Floors are solid. Rockers have some rust on the bottom fronts, relatively isolated. I guess this is really where the rockers and floor blend? Battery box needs attention. For an original car it's far and away better than most I've seen in these parts. One could easily deal with this. The passenger door has some body filler from when a motorcycle fell on it decades ago. It could use redone, but it is not rotted.

Ah, the same "not much rot at all" as my car had when I bought it. Sorry to see it.

Seller's description:

1967 and shipped new to Jaguar New York this gorgeous example was first sold to Yellow Springs, Ohio where sold to its first owner. Not long after (just 5 years) the car was sold to its second owner and remained with him until 2007 where it was placed for sale on eBay motors as a complete and running example still finished in its original Opalescent Silver Blue colour and totally original leather interior. The car was then sold in Europe where it has seen a nut and bolt restoration with body, matching numbers engine and matching gearbox being totally stripped and restored. The car kept its original colour combination and its original leather interior which was preserved in all those years with a lovely patina. Mechanically sound and with a solid original body, the car retains all its original panels apart from a door that has been replaced during the restoration.

In 2007 the car came to Europe with 62.000 original miles and has only covered not more than 3500 miles since with only one careful owner who cherished the car.

A lovey example of one of the most desirable late S1 4.2 E-types.

Take a chance to own one “the most beautiful car ever made” according to Enzo Ferrari which celebrates its 60 year debut this year.

Price: 179.900euros
