1969 Jaguar E-Type Roadster
Excellent restoration project

- VIN# 1R9578
- 36,662 miles
- ALL MATCHING NUMBERS VEHICLE
- Very restorable

Excellent project car. This E-Type was owned by the same person for over 35 years!

There is rust in the rear quarter panels, otherwise this is a very solid car.

Strong, quiet good running engine. The car runs and drives well, but the brakes just went out while we were taking the pictures so they will need redone (master cylinder, servo, calipers, etc.) best to go over the whole braking system.

The tail lamps and the bumpers are there, but they had been removed to repair the rust in the back of the car and begin a complete paint job and new interior. Please note that the original boot envelope (for covering the top when it is in the down position) is excellent and the top frame is off to be painted and prepped for a new convertible top.

Also, note that this car has the original jack, hammer and tool for removing the wheel nuts (knockoffs). Note the original spare wire wheel is in excellent condition.

All in all, this is a fine example of an E-Type roadster. A very desirable car. This is an excellent candidate to restore as a show car or to make as a daily driver.
