Up for sale is my 1969 series II E type 2+2, with automatic transmission and originally equipped with power steering and air conditioning. This is a numbers matching car, with original engine, head, transmission and rear differential. I have owned this car for the last three years, and have invested quite a lot of money getting it into its current condition. This car has been in my family since 1974, and has always been garaged and covered. I have put approximately 600 miles on the car since I have owned it. The body is in really great overall condition, with no major dents. Chrome is all original, with some patina of course. Paint was refinished in the early 1970's and is light blue, in good overall condition with various nicks, small dings and some paint chips on bonnet. Paint is lacquer and still has a nice gloss to it. The interior is in great shape. Has a beautiful custom cinnamon leather interior, custom installed brown Wilton wool carpet and accents consisting of burled Carpathian Elm accents on the dashboard, doors and headliner. Has original steering wheel and all gauges work, including the clock. Over the last 10 years or better, this car has has extensive mechanical repairs including engine rebuild, transmission, rear diff, brakes and complete new exhaust system. The engine rebuild included new pistons, rings, bearings and cylinder head rebuilt. A spin on oil filter adaptor was added. The starter was replaced with a new high torque type. The radiator was uprated to a Ron Davis aluminum type with Spal electric fan - the old (rebuilt!) radiator with dual electric fans also comes with the car. The old dual Stromberg carburetors were replaced with triple SU's from a series I E type and has a brand new factory air filter system. The exhaust system is all stainless steel, with Jet Coated steel headers. Has a Mallory unilite distributor with custom MSD spark plug wires. The factory power steering has been removed in favor of a rack and pinion setup. The transmission was rebuilt as was the rear differential, including new universal joints as well. The brakes are rebuilt, including new calipers, rotors and pads. The front brakes were upgraded to Wildwood four piston types and the original front Girlings are available if you wish to revert the to original. The car has the original wheels, with original spec Dunlops. The original wire wheels (in fair condition - they dont leak!) were replaced with new Dayton 15 x 6 alloy rims with stainless steel spokes, new series I style knock offs and new Pirelli P4000 tires. All shocks have been replaced with Classic Jaguar adjustable shocks and springs. I had intended to replace the automatic trans with a 5 speed, especially after installing the triple SU carbs but alas - I am out of money. The car has current registration and is drivable, but could certainly still use some more TLC to get it in tip top shape. Some of the work that needs to be done is electrical; horn, wipers, reverse lights and radio installation (radio is included - a new classic type, with MP3, USB and direct out puts). There is some interior work that needs to be finished as well - I have installed Dynamat under the carpets, but have not finished the transmission tunnel. I am offering this car at a low starting price with a low reserve. Sale is final and no returns will be accepted. Buyer to pay all shipping costs and insurance. I will respond to all questions via email. Good luck and happy bidding.
