I have uploaded 77 pictures to photobucket be sure to view them all.http://s1283.beta.photobucket.com/user/S2xke/library/S%20II%20XKE%20roadster?view=media#/user/S2xke/library/S%20II%20XKE%20roadster?&_suid=135949606979106390862183574627 This car is a great restoration project. The miles on the odometer read 31,269 and I believe they are original. It is one of the last series 2 roadsters built in 10 /1970 to be sold in the US market . The vin number starting with the prefix 2R is what designates the car as such, Note: a few 1971 model cars were manufactured, available alongside the new Series III model. These cars had a chassis number prefix of 2R, the 1971 cars have a small chrome trim ring around the air intake in the hood, and Jaguar medallions on the side of the hood. * from car-nectioon . com The car was last driven in 1978, always a southern car, it was parked when the owner wanted to change color and upholstery. The original colors were sand on black. The work was started and never completed.The car is equipped with factory power steering as well as factory ACThere is a little bit of rust under the battery box, see pics.One spot of rust on the front left fender see pic.Right sill has a couple of small holes see pic.Driver door has a couple of rust holes see pic.The previous owner put in a new clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing.The engine turns but the car is not running.Being such a late production car I was not able to find the engine number stamped where it normally would be. That area has never been stamped. I know most of the history of the car from new.Also included is a new upholstery kit that was bought several years ago.One of the seat covers in the kit has a small stain, might be able to clean it.Some of the carpet and vinyl pieces in the kit have some stains they acquired while sitting not being installed.The vinyl from the carpet for the footwell in the kit has bubbled do to age see pics.Most of the pieces can be used and individual pieces can be ordered if needed .The driver's seat, the previous owner started to reupholster, not finished needs to be done.The driver's seat is missing the bottom cushion.The car is 97% complete, if not in pics I do not have it.I have uploaded 77 pictures ot photobucket please be sure to click on the link and view them all http://s1283.beta.photobucket.com/user/S2xke/library/S%20II%20XKE%20roadster?view=media#/user/S2xke/library/S%20II%20XKE%20roadster?&_suid=135949606979106390862183574627A southern car thats has been sitting most of its life.This is a great restoration project on an interesting car do the fact that it is one of the last series 2 cars produced and there were only a few made with the prefix 2R.Car is for restoration and is sold "as is" Chassis # 2R 14701 On Jan-29-13 at 14:30:40 PST, seller added the following information: I uploaded 10 more pictures to the photobucket album.
