Sellers description:
1969 E-TYPE THAT HAS BEEN STORED IN MY BARN SINCE 1978. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 1971 AND I AM THE SECOND OWNER. ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I FOUND THE HARDTOP ( WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY BLACK). THE JAGUAR IS ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR BEING PAINTED IN 1974. THE DATA PLATE NEXT TO BATTERY HAS CAR # 1R7509, BODY # 1R1542, ENGINE # 7R2000, AND GEAR BOX # KE3413. THESE FOUR COMPONENTS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. THE FOLLOWING IS NOT INCLUDED WITH CAR: EXHAUST & TAILPIPES, FRAME WORK FOR CONVERTIBLE TOP, LEFT FRONT HEAD LIGHT RING, BATTERY, CENTER CONSOLE & RADIO, & CHROME TRIM PIECE AROUND REAR WINDOW IN HARDTOP. CURRENTLY CANNOT OPEN TRUNK, I BELIEVE SCISSOR JACK, MALLET, AND WINGED LUG FOR TAKING OFF WIRE WHEELS ARE INSIDE. THIS EARLY 1969 SERIES 2 WAS UPDATED WITH NEWLY ANGLED HELIX GEAR FOR MORE SILENT RUNNING.INSIDE, SWITCHES CHANGED TO ROCKER TYPE, HEATING SYSTEM WAS IMPROVED, SCREEN RAIL PADDED, INTERIOR MIRROR MOUNTED TO WINDSHIELD, DOOR HANDLES BURIED IN THE DOOR, GLOVE COMPARTMENT GOT A LOCK, NEW HORN BUTTON, DIRECTION INDICATOR AND HEADLAMP FLASHER INCORPORATED INTO ONE LEVER, PLUS NO MORE STARTER BUTTON. OUTSIDE HEADLAMPS WERE MOVED FORWARD 1 1/2" AND REFLECTORS MOUNTED ON FENDERS IN FRONT OF WHEELS, INDICATORS GOT BIGGER, TWIN REVERSING BACK UP LIGHTS, NEW LARGER RADIATOR AND A BIGGER AIR INTAKE. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT PROJECT CAR. CAR WAS RUNNING WHEN PARKED AND STILLS ROLLS EASILY. GLASS IS ALL ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, AND IN GOOD CONDITION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MINOR CHIP TOP CENTER OF WINDSHIELD. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A COLLISION OF ANY TYPE.

FORGOT TO MENTION THE HARDTOP IS ORIGINAL AND ALL HARDWARE IS THERE, I AM LOOKING FOR THE CHROME PIECE THAT SURROUNDS WINDOW.
