1970 Jaguar E-Type

XKE roadster Convertible

Manual

Clear

Gasoline

This 1970 Jaguar XKE roadster is matching numbers and still in the original color it left the factory. I have been collecting and restoring Jaguars for over 30 years and this is one of the few light blue e-types I have seen. I think the color works extremely well with the shape of the e-type roadster. The car was owned by a pilot in the early 2000's and he kept very good records. During his ownership the engine was rebuilt, torsion bars replaced, shocks replaced, electronic ignition installed, four pipe ANSA exhaust (which sounds great!), wire wheels replaced, radiator fans upgraded, and numerous other maintenance items attended to. It later went to an elder gentleman that enjoyed and maintained the car until it became impractical for him to own anymore. This Jaguar is as straight as you will ever find one. The bonnet and door gaps are very good. The are no signs of prior accidents or major rust repairs. The paint is at least 11 years old and has been spotted here and there but still shows well for a nice driver. Convertible soft top was recently replaced. Chrome is nice, including the wire wheels. Engine is very strong and has excellent oil pressure. It has the 4 speed fully synchronized gearbox and shifts very good. Includes spare tire, owners manual, receipts, boot cover, car cover, logoed front carpet mats, and knock off hammer and tool.
