In the early 2000's it is reported in the Jaguar XK registry that this car underwent a 3 year restoration with over $70,000 spent. The restoration has held up well and although no longer a Concours example this beautiful roadster still shows well as a driver/local show car. The paint has lightly aged as has the interior. With a recent tune-up the E-type is the ideal turnkey example for someone looking for immediate enjoyment. Wearing correct original colors as it left the factory; the car's strong numbers-matching mechanicals are reliable and with lots of pep, tight shifting and steering. It comes complete with matching boot cover for top down enjoyment, jack in pouch, spare assembly, owner's manual, lubrication chart, technical booklet and several service/repair publications. Overall a nicely presented car, this Roadster possesses the thrilling presence inherent in Jaguar's E-Type as a desirable icon for collector car enthusiasts. Attractively priced this beautiful example is now available for inspection, worldwide purchase and delivery.
