1969 Series II E-type Roadster Drives Very Well, Ready for Restoration We have available a 1969 Series II E-type Roadster. It is finished in Willow Green with a black interior. This car had spent over 20 year in a slumber inside a very dry garage. We believe the car lived here in Oregon its entire life. It would make a very good entry level E-Type for a mechanically minded person. Numerous hours and thousands of dollars in parts have already been installed to recommission this XKE. It now drives and can be used, but needs some cosmetic and mechanical attention. Please read the following description carefully to get an honest impression of the car. BODYWORK AND CHASSIS: Paint work is just fair as it has cracks, chips, and general old age issues. Looks good from 20ft. The car is rust free and the bonnet and all important front sub frames are in very good shape. The floors are very good and the only sign of body filler looks to be on the driver’s rear quarter panel near the door. Wire wheels have surface rust on them, but a new set is only $1600 if desired. ENGINE: The car is still fitted with a 4.2 liter engine but it is not original to the car. The engine starts and runs well, does not smoke, and is very dry with good oil pressure. It does have some internal rattle that is audible. Possible lower timing chain or piston slap, but has not gotten any louder in the last 100 miles. It should be considered a good candidate for an overhaul as we cannot predict how long it will last; could be thousands of miles or hundreds, so we would not advise driving cross country. BRAKES AND CLUTCH: This E-Type was fitted with new brake servo, slave master, and reaction valves. The entire system was flushed along with new brake flex lines installed. The calipers are leak free and work well. Even the handbrake works.. The clutch master, slave and flex hoses were replaced with new parts. The clutch engages smoothly and has plenty of grip. FUEL SYSTEM: The entire fuel system has been flushed, cleaned, and a new O.E. fuel pump installed. The carbs were removed, cleaned, and properly adjusted. A major tune up was done and the car starts easily and runs with good power output. EXHAUST: The car is fitted with a Bell full stainless steel exhaust system. It has a nice deep tone and shows very well. COOLING SYSTEM: The engine has received all new cooling hoses, hose clamps, and a rebuilt water pump. The radiator was removed, rodded out, and new thermostat installed. To complete the cooling system the typically rusty heater transfer pipes located in the bulkhead were replaced with stainless pipes. ELECTRICAL: The car does not have any of the typical electrical issues. New battery of course. All the lights work inside and out, the gauges all function, and even the Smiths clock keeps time. SUMMATION: The car starts, runs, and drives well, and has covered about 100 miles since being made road ready. The clutch works well and the transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Differential is very quiet. The car has nearly no oil leaks. This is a chance to get an E-Type convertible at an entry level price. As you can tell the car has had some extensive work done and all the repairs and parts are of the highest quality. You will need to spend some more elbow grease on it, but it is not a rusty hulk and could be used as-is around town and on short trips. Priced very fairly and will sell.
