1970 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 2 4.2 OTS ROADSTER Chassis No: 1R 1721 Engine No: 7R 12721-8

This fine example being offered at auction has been held in its current ownership since 1999 having belonged to a fellow family member for 20 years before that. The car underwent a back to bare metal restoration, including the hard-top and interior re-trim in 2002, by Victory Panels of Brisbane. The engine was rebuilt by Jaguar Specialist R. C. Grieve of Fortitude valley that same year. Importantly, being one of only 14 Open Two-Seater Series 2 models delivered to Australia in 1970, (Jaguar E-type, The Definitive History by Phillip Porter) this beautiful car holds the auspicious Jaguar Trust Heritage Certificate authenticating it as a matching numbers, right hand drive, manual, open-two-seater with the date of manufacture being 13th May 1970. It sports all its original livery colour scheme of signal red with black interior and black soft top. It comes with its original tool kit, service books and manuals. The original distributor was British Leyland, Australia and the date of dispatch was 22nd June, 1970. The car is believed to have been a South Australian delivery originally but the first ownership is unknown. It runs on non-standard MWS stainless steel wire wheels, slightly over-sized. With an odometer reading at a very low 51,500 miles, this car has travelled approximately 4000 miles since it last changed ownership in 1999. This well presented Australian delivered factory RHD example going to auction offers a discerning collector a valuable opportunity to acquire a low mileage, well presented and well maintained, desirable Series 2 Jaguar E Type. The original soft-top is detached but will accompany the sale.
