It isgorgeous, complete with factory air-conditioning and factory hardtop, with only44,497 actual miles.
Repaintedsometime between 2006 and 2010, the car’s paint and chrome trim are in overallexcellent condition, with some minor blemishes that are visible only closerange. The bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is very tidy and sois the boot (cargo area), complete with spare tire with wheel and carpeting.The chrome, wraparound bumpers are in excellent shape, too.
TheE-type was sold in the summer of 2006 from a seller near Traverse City,Michigan. The buyer had the car stripped to bare metal then all panels wererepaired and the car was repainted its original color. Ten years later, the carended up in Elyria, Ohio at a joint-effort Chevrolet dealership and Greg’sSports, Classic and Muscle Cars. Theunderside of this solid E-Type was cleaned and detailed to reveal the original unmolestedprimer floors and underpinnings.
This catrolls on mixed radials, Michelin Defenders, size 205/70R15 in front andGoodyear Wrangler STs in back, size 195/75R15, and as the spare tire. Each tireis mounted a newer factory wire wheel. The wheels and tires are all in verygood order.
Thecar’s unique tilt forward bonnet (hood) exposes the matching number 4.2L inlinesix-cylinder engine, with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and breathing viatrue dual exhausts. Backing the motor is a four-speed manual transmission and a3.54:1 rear end.
Inside,the black Connolly Leather is a striking contrast to the exterior color. Thebucket seats are in very good order, considering the car’s age. The center console has a rip and the horn isinop, the wear shown correlates to the car’s age. The matching Wilton woolcarpet is in good, original order. The original black, folding soft-top is invery good while the factory hardtop makes this more of an all-weather car. Awood-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel frames the dashboard with itsaircraft-like toggle switches and full array of gauges. The inner door panelsare in very good shape, as is the console-mounted shifter. A Philips AM/Shortwave/FMradio rounds out the interior.
TheSeries 2 introduced a number of design changes, largely due to U.S. NationalHighway Traffic and Safety Administration mandates. The most distinctiveexterior feature is the absence of the glass headlight covers, which affectedseveral other imported cars, like the Citroën DS, as well. Unlike other cars,this step was applied worldwide for the E-Type.
Otherhallmarks of Series 2 cars are a wrap-around rear bumper, larger frontindicators and taillights re-positioned below the bumpers, and an enlargedgrille and twin electric fans to aid cooling.
AdditionalU.S.-inspired changes included a steering lock which moved the ignition switchto the steering column, replacing the dashboard mounted ignition and pushbutton starter, the symmetrical array of metal toggle switches replaced withplastic rockers, and a collapsible steering column to absorb impact in theevent of an accident. New seats allowed the fitment of head restraints, asrequired by U.S. law beginning in 1969.
Theengine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished camcovers to a more industrial "ribbed" appearance. It was de-tuned inthe US with twin two-barrel Strombergs replacing three SUs. Air conditioningand power steering were available as factory options. Documentation includesJaguar Heritage Certificate.
