Sellers description:
1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster with documented 51,117 original (actual) miles in excellent condtion. Always garaged, zero rust anywhere, no wrecks or issues whatsoever. Arrow-straight original body metal, perfect frame, all factory spotwelds excellent. Stored undriven in a Silicon Valley garage since 1986 (see registration tags). Our esteemed technician Gino has since brought it back to perfect running condition. Receipts for complete engine and transmission rebuilds at 43K, runs and drives like new. Owned since the 1970's by a 6'4" computer engineer named "Tommy" who loved the car but was too tall to drive it much. The interior, seats and top are original. We could have changed them, but they help document the low miles and garaged nature of the car. This is the best original condition E-Type I have ever purchased, and I have had over 30 of them. Even the battery area had no rust. A top-end base/clear paint in the original silver just completed. The condition of the undercarriage is amazing, no dents anywhere in the original floor pan, all factory welds visible. No disappointments, you will not find a better original Series 2 Roadster on the market.
