The bonnet has been converted to covered headlights, the bumper has been removed and slight revisions were made to the grille opening. Other special features include an Alpine AM/FM stereo and cassette player with power booster and four speakers, factory air conditioning, and an alarm system. The engine, transmission, suspension, and rear-end have been rebuilt and the entire car was mechanically serviced to ensure that it starts, runs and drives in peak form.
The E-Type Roadster has a matching numbers drivetrain and comes with a Heritage Certificate and a folio containing all the documentation from the restoration. This late model E-Type represents one of the very last years of one of the most significant designs in automotive history. It is an excellent performance machine and will surely make a beautiful addition to anyone's collection.

Lot 292 - Addendum
Please note that the restoration performed on this Jaguar was not performed by the specialists at Classic Showcase, but rather had been done by another marque specialist in Los Angeles. Classic Showcase did however fully inspect the roadster, and attended to any minor issues the car may have had, in preparation for the Monterey auction.
