Auction description:
August 30, 2014 auction
Lot 325 - 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixedhead Coupé
Chassis Number IR27245
Odometer reading 95,000 miles
Estimate £25,000 - £29,000

This lefthand drive, 4.2 litre Series II coupé presented in British Racing Green with black leather was an original California car imported to Ireland before undergoing a major overhaul at a considerable cost to the vendor. Works include a near nut and bolt restoration including new wiring loom, reconditioned radiator, clutch assembly, steering rack, partial re-trimmed interior and dash, bare metal re-spray and a full engine rebuild including triple Weber carburettors. The list of work undertaken goes on and on with the car recently being sent to Butlin & Sons of Swadlincote, a renowned E-Type and classic specialist to complete the restoration and sign the car off for the vendor.

Offered without a V5 Registration document but with original USA title and Nova certificate, the new owner will need to register this vehicle but with a current MoT test certificate valid until July 2015 and in such fabulous condition, it would be well worth the paperwork.
With the current owner having lavished upwards of £50,000 on this car and its restoration we believe this car could represent somewhat of a bargain for a potential owner, offered at a reasonable estimate, why not take advantage of an E-Type that is better than when it rolled of the production line back in 1970?
