This very good Series II E Type roadster has been in long term ownership with the last owner buying the car in January 1988. According to the letter attached to the sales agreement the previous owner purchased the Jaguar in 1976 with a recorded mileage of 38,000 miles, and it was fitted with a new bonnet and repainted. The letter also states that in 1980 the rear suspension, brakes and differential were overhauled, in 1984 the cylinder head and gearbox were rebuilt and in 1987 the car was repainted with a new rear bumper fitted. Supplied with the car are a file of invoices which show it was retrimmed in 2007 and major engine work was carried out by marque specialists Thomas Barclay in 2013.

Shortly after it was MoT'd in August 2014 it was placed in dry storage where it remained until recently. It has been checked through, and it was running and driving very well. This very good 1970 E Type roadster is finished in Old English White with Dark Blue leather and Dark Blue hood. It is supplied with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate to July 2024 and a file containing past invoices, old registration documents and some MoT certificates. It is sold with cherished number plate 275CAT with a value of £4,000.
