Sellers description:
Original Rust free Jaguar Etype roadster from California...this car is completely rust free...I have checked the car out thoroughly and there isnt even the smallest amount anywhere..the car started out as a Sable brown car and was repainted a light yellow some years ago..the paint is good , shines up well and very presentable although not perfect..there are a few scratches here and there...there is no damage to the body though. the fit of all the doors and the hood is perfect, the car was never in any type of crash..the wire wheels are in very nice condition

The interior of the car is complete except for the carpets...seats have been recovered years ago with incorrect material, soft top is tatty and will need replacing, I do have a correct tonneau cover for the car which I am includin in the sale..the one in the picture is also included but is not correct..the dash, steering wheel etc are all very nice..all the gauges are there but the oil pressure gauge is not correct

Mechanically there is work to be done...the car was sent into a repair shop some years ago for a complete engine rebuild...new pistons, sleeves etc were purchased, the crank was polished. the repair shop went out of business and some of the engine parts went missing,,,all the parts for to complete the engine rebuild are available...I have sourced most of the stuff and supply ths information to any potential buyer...it is a numbers matching car ..the engine number in the block matches the number plate...I have the polished crank, rods , pistons and sleeves, carbs etc...I do not have the heads or manifolds..exhaust is also missing great project if you had a doner XJ12 or V8 conversion.
