Sellers description:
1973 Jaguar E Type V12 Roadster in Regency Red with Black leather and Black soft top. 4 speed, chrome wire wheels. Odo 32,277. Recent restoration. This car is in immaculate condition. Excellent rust free body with virtually unmarked paint. Pefect interior and top. Superb mechanically - drives exactly as they should.

The story - we purchased seven E Types from a larger collection of cars that belonged to a big Southern California home builder. The E Types have been restored to a very high level - I can only estimate the costs but I believe a conservative estimate is between $70,000 to $100,000 per car. There are no records or receipts - these cars were part of a large settlement - multiples millions I am told. These are very special cars and appear to have had pretty much everything rebuilt/replaced: paint, chrome, interior, top, engine rebuilt, brakes, steering, wire wheels, etc etc.

Drive it or collect it - you can't go wrong.
