This is the second in the group of three Jaguar E-Types that we have the privilege of auctioning off right here on the site. Like the first, this is a roadster but it’s not as rusty and is actually drivable. There are a few other issues that need addressing though. This is a no-reserve auction so it’s going to sell!
We have some good news and some bad. First, the good. When the seller inherited these cars a few years ago, he took them to a local British car specialist and had him go through the engine and brakes. So this car is running and driving. It’s equipped with Jag’s big inline-six and a four-speed manual transmission.
And now for the bad news. One day the car was parked outside for a short period of time and a huge tree fell on it! The tree landed across the bonnet, cowl, and passenger side door. Unfortunately, it caused some major damage. So even though this one is technically a runner, you will need to wear goggles if you want to go fast.
The interior has some wear and tear but appears to be complete and in decent condition. There’s evidence of a color change though. It looks like the original paint may have been a light green. The current gold hue looks great though too so the next owner will have their work cut out for them in choosing a color.
It’ll be a lot of work to get everything straightened out but the end result will be beautiful! Personally, I’d be tempted to buy both this and the other roadster we are currently auctioning so I could combine the two. They are both ’69s and the other car has a good bonnet and cowl. Does that sound like a good plan?
This car is located in Boise, Idaho, and it includes a clear title. This no-reserve auction will run for 10 days.
