Sellers description:
A beautiful looking and running 1970 series 2 Jaguar XKE. Recently recommissioned after some years in storage. A car you can drive and enjoy. Full service , fluids ,oil and filters, new brake hoses, Master cylinder, Booster, Clutch Master cylinder and slave, New water pump, tires little used, new exhaust system, new seat covers. Repainted Regency Red (originally light blue) in the late seventies. The paint is still beautiful. The engine is running perfectly with good oil pressure when hot (45psi when running and 20+ psi when idling). The gearbox changes smoothly and the clutch is also smooth and positive. The brakes pull up straight and strong and the hand brake works! On a 90 degree day the engine temperature remains at normal. (series 2 E Type has twin cooling fans). The interior and dashboard is very nice and so is the convertible top. All the gauges work properly and so does the heater blower motor and windshield wiper.

The body work is as it should be with all panels are perfectly contoured and in line with each other and the gaps perfect. The front floor foot wells have been replaced probably due to careless lifting by floor jacks by mechanics which caves in the panels. Otherwise all the panels appear original and rust free.

This is a lovely car and a joy to drive. It is a credit to its present owner and it will be enjoyed by the next one.

This 1970 Jaguar XKE Series II roadster is finished in red with a black soft top over dark blue leather and is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six fitted with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Shifting is through a four-speed manual transmission linked with a limited-slip differential, and the car rides on 15″ knock-off wire wheels coupled with four-wheel disc brakes. Inside, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and Smiths instrumentation are accompanied by an AM/FM cassette stereo and a heater. The roadster was acquired by the seller in 2016, and subsequent work is said to have involved rebuilding the front suspension in 2019 as well as adding an aftermarket electronic ignition in 2022. This Series II XKE is now offered with Georgia registration in the seller’s name.

The car is believed to have undergone a color change from light blue to its current red finish under previous ownership. Sealed-beam open headlights are set within the louvered clamshell hood up front, and further details include a black soft top, a driver-side mirror, wraparound chrome bumpers, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller recommends a repaint.

The 15″ wire wheels are secured by three-eared knock-offs and are mounted with 205/70 Yokohama Avid Touring-S tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The front suspension was reportedly rebuilt in 2019, and the seller recommends replacing the tires.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in dark blue leather along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. Further nterior appointments include an AM/FM cassette stereo, a heater, a locking glovebox, and lap belts. The seller recommends refreshing the interior.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership.

The 4.2-liter inline-six was factory equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. An aftermarket electronic ignition was installed in 2022. The seller notes an oil leak.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
