Car has a buy it now price of $69,900 for 6 days. Car now said to be in Rockville, Maryland.

Sellers description:
This is a two owner, numbers matching, '71 E Type Series 2 Convertible with only 24000 miles. It is the ultimate eye catching color combo of red with black, and comes with the ultra rare factory hard top.

My shop has serviced this car for about 8 years. Our customer who has owned this car since the early '80s is leaving the country and sadly cannot take it with him. The most recent work performed was the removal of the engine and trans to replace the clutch. While the engine was out all external seals on the engine were replaced. The engine was cleaned and painted, and anything that needed to be addressed at the time was.

Here is a list of some of the work done in the last few years, all within very low mileage:

-Seats were completely redone - frames blasted and painted, new foams, webbings and leather covers
-All new fluids, belts, plugs, hoses, brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder,
- Body gaskets were replaced (except windshield and bonnet cowl - did not need it)
- 5 new Coker redlines, 1 brand new Dayton Wire in trunk for spare ( the four wheels are original Dunlops)
- Every chrome screw, nut, bolt, latch hook, trim piece, bezel etc has been removed, cleaned and polished
- All the instruments have been disassembled and cleaned so they're crystal clear
- Rebuilt front calipers, new brake hoses

And much, much more! We have thoroughly gone through this car to ensure everything is working properly so its new owner can enjoy the best of what an E Type can offer. In our opinion.

The owner told us the car was being transported back in the '80s in a covered trailer when it came loose and shifted causing some minor damage resulting in the single repaint. As near as we can tell, the car retains all of its original panels. There are no signs of crash damage or "bondo". There are, however, some scrapes and dents under the front of the bonnet and the rear tail section most of which resulting from the owner's very steep driveway. These are obvious with the car up on the lift but as you can see in the pictures they are not at all obvious on the ground.

The paint is in good shape for a 30+ year old paint job but in some areas there's some minute bubbles in the paint. Most people don't notice these until they're pointed out.
