Manufactured in August of 1970, this Jaguar E-Type Series II OTS (roadster) made its way to its first and only owner in Florida. Finished in the wonderful colors of Ascot Fawn paint with a beige interior and a black top, the car is still wears the majority of its original paint and is retains its original interior, both in nicely preserved condition and showing wonderful patina. It was in 2023 as a true survivor, having been stored in a climate-controlled garage for over 20 years. During its single ownership, the only changes made were to the radio and the troublesome Stromberg carburetors, which were exchanged for a more efficient triple S.U. setup.

The car will come accompanied by its convertible top cover, original jack, tools, and spare tire. Since uncovering the car from its long-term storage, this XKE has been serviced, with carburetors rebuilt, fuel system cleaned and serviced, brakes serviced and a sympathetic detailing of the exterior and interior. The interior is particularly well preserved, demonstrating the level of care this car has had over the years. This Jaguar was obviously cherished by its only owner.

The car still retains its original 4.2 engine and is said to run well since the recent recommissioning. The odometer shows only 60,285 miles covered since 1970, certainly a factor in this car's exceptional unrestored condition. This Roadster comes equipped with an air conditioning system as well as an AM/FM Cassette player from Sanyo replacing the factory radio. It is incredibly rare to find such an original example of the Series II XKE, finished in an eye-catching color combination. With good looks and recent preparation, this is an eminently usable XKE ideal for your next tour.
