Sellers description:
1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II roadster, red with black interior with all matching numbers. This roadster is not concours quality, however it is a very good daily driver and a real head-turner. The engine was rebuilt in 2005, along with the installation of a new aluminum radiator making this a reliable vehicle. I drove it last year from Dallas to Houston and back to the Annual General Meeting of the Jaguar Club of North America with no problems (over 700 miles roundtrip). It has been shown at 7 different car shows, with one first place ribbon. The rag top was replaced in 2006; however, this XKE also comes with a hard to find hardtop also (no separate sales of the hardtop).
The paint in the vehicle is the down side. The prior owner had it painted by a cheap paint shop that did little to no prep before shooting. The bonnet has a couple of places where the paint has blistered - one being at the driver's louvers, right over the engine exhaust.
This Jaguar is a GREAT vehicle; I've driven it personally for 3 years and am selling it only because I've hand-restored a Series I from the ground up.
