Sellers description:
Offered for sale is a spectacular Series II E-Type Roadster - one of the finest examples available. "The Blending of Art & Machine". Full documentation includes; original title, original VIN plate & British Heritage Motor Trust Production Record Trace Certificate and as far as I can tell everything appears to be numbers matching.
More information available at: jaguars2etype dot com

This car underwent a 9 year full ground up, rotisserie, nut & bolt restoration. Every part of the vehicle was disassembled, cleaned, sand blasted/glass beaded, painted, and all parts were restored, rebuilt or replaced.

Every part on this car received excruciating attention to detail. For example: the regulator flap inside the heater box was rusted and had a hole in it. I disassembled the heater box, had the heater core re-cored, welded up the hole in the heater flap, ground down the welds, applied epoxy primer, block sanded the flap & painted it to a mirror finish with Glasuit urethane enamel paint. All for a part no one can see!

My plan when restoring this car was to make everything as true to original as possible, but to utilize the better quality materials that are available today. I used as many NOS parts as possible unless there was a better option available.

The restoration features:
Glasuit two-part urethane enamel primers, base coats & clear coats
Supercool Oversize Radiator Core
Stainless Steel Exhaust
Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Stainless & Grade 8 hardware
Petronics Electronic Ignition & Coil
Gear Reduction Starter
Series III Cooling Fan Relay & Wiring
CoolMat High Tech Heat Protection/Sound Deadening Material
5 Dayton 72 Spoke Chrome & Stainless Wire Wheels
5 Avon 205 70R 95V Radial Tires
Adjustable Torsion Bar Reaction Plate
Racing Bearings & Bushings
