Sellers description:
Mostly original 1969 Jaguar E-type Roadster. This date of manufacture of this Jaguar was August 4 of 1969 and the date of dispatch was August 26 of 1969. This E-type was originally dark blue with dark blue interior. We rescued this Jaguar e-type after it was sitting for nearly 20 years. The previous owner had it in the corner of his garage and the car was in good condition, but just needed to be brought back to life and brought up a few notches. There are pictures which display the condition of this car before we revived it.

Some of the recent work we completed on our refresh/restore of this great car and make it a great driver are as follows:

Engine Work: Re Built, Synched and Tune Carburetors, Replaced Cam Cover Gaskets, Rear Seals and adjusted Valves, Replaced Spark Plus, Replaced Drive Belts, Replaced Distributor, Cap, Rotor, points, Plug Wires and Condenser, Replaced Engine Mounts, Install New Bonnet Rest Seal, Replaced heater Hoses and Control Valve, Replaced Bulk Fuel Line and Installed New Fuel Filter, Replaced Fuel Tank Sump Cap, Replaced radiator Foam Insulation, Install New Heat Shield for Brake Reservoirs, Installed New Washer Fluid Bottle Strap, Replaced Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses, Replaced Alternator, Replaced Wire loom, Installed New Battery and positive Terminal, Replace Fuel Pump and Sender.

Compression tested: 1-145psi,2-140,3-140,4-140,5-145,6-145.
Body/Paint: The paint was older when we first purchased the car and also there was about a quarter inch of dust on the car. We had some paint work done to the car and also had the car buffed as well. We wanted to maintain the original paint as it showed some patina that went well with the overall car. The paint still has a few cracks and imperfections in areas, but still presents quite well. At one time it was repainted dark blue metallic on the exterior of the car.

This Jaguar E-type Roadster is a great driver level car that looks great and still has some originality/patina to it. This is a matching numbers car and does come with a Heritage Certificate. In addition, comes with receipts of the above work invested in this great car.
