This lovely Primrose Yellow 1970 Jaguar E Type is a UK car manufactured on the 16th December 1969 and sold by Henleys, London, on the 10th March 1970. The E Type has had just four previous keepers, as stated on the V5C, one of whom had the car extensively restored in 1996; some of the work carried out can be seen in the photographs in the documents section. The restoration involved completely reconditioning the drivetrain, suspension and engine, and new sills and quarter panels were fitted, restoring the wonderful S2 E Type to its former glory.

Since the restoration, it is clear that the car has been in dry storage and used very little, which has kept the condition of the outside and, in particular, the underside in excellent condition.

On the Outside

The E Type presents itself exceptionally well. Looking around the car, there are no dings or dents to mention, and the panels align well with an equal and matching panel gap. There is just one corner of the bonnet, which sits slightly proud, but this may be able to be adjusted.

Finished in Primrose Yellow, the paintwork is in excellent condition. There are a few light swirl marks which have been picked up through cleaning since the restoration in 1996, and just one tiny chip was noted on the lower section of the bonnet, which could easily be touched up. The chromework for the bumpers, headlight and window surrounds is all in excellent condition, with a mirror-like finish and shows no signs of tarnishing.

The windows all appear in good order, with no noticeable scratches and seals showing no signs of perishing. The headlights, indicators and rear lights are free from any chips or splits to the lenses, and the reflectors inside look to be free from corrosion.

Until January 2023, the E Type was using the original steel wheels. These have now been replaced with a more appealing set of chrome wire wheels complete with new spinners purchased from Martin Robry Sales Ltd. The tyres are period-correct Dunlop SP Sport with a good amount of tread remaining.

On the Inside

Inside the E Type, it looks to have had the seats retrimmed, possibly at the time of the restoration. These are in excellent condition with just a minimal amount of creasing to the perforated section on the driver's seat, as to be expected. The door cards are free from any damage, and the carpet has minimal wear.

The dashboard is free from any splits or scuffs. The instruments are all working correctly and appear in good condition, including the clock, which you can hear happily ticking away. The odometer shows a reading of 33,236 miles. Below the gauges, the switches are in good condition and working as they should, and the panel below clearly states what each switch is for, with no wear to the lettering. There is a wood rim steering wheel and gearknob. Both are in excellent condition and fit well with the period of the car.

Looking up, the headlining is excellent, fitting tightly against the roof with no sagging. The boot floor is nice and clean, with no damage. Under this, the spare wheel is present. This is also a wire wheel, but this does have some corrosion to the chrome finish. There is also a new wooden template to remove the spinners with a new copper and hide mallet.

Underneath

Flick the key, with a slight tickle of the accelerator, and the 4.2 litre fires into life without hesitation. As mentioned earlier, the engine was rebuilt in 1996 as part of the restoration. There are no untoward noises coming from under the engine bay, and everything looks to be in good order, with no leaks spotted.

The Jaguar has a four-speed gearbox, which is reported to have a smooth change with no noises or issues. However, when the new wheels were fitted, the vendor also replaced the wheel bearings and hub seals, which were showing signs of age.

On the road, the Jag has a firm but smooth ride thanks to the Spax damper and handles just like an E Type should. The suspension was also completely overhauled in 1996, and all still looks to be in excellent condition, as you can see from the underside images. The braking system is working as it should, bringing the car to a stop in a straight line with no juddering through the pedal.
