Offered for sale is this absolutely stunning 1971 Jaguar E-Type Roadster, the recipient of a meticulous bare-metal rotisserie restoration completed to an exceptionally high standard. Showing just 44,500 kilometers (27,651 Miles), this beautiful E-Type has traveled less than 500 kilometers since its comprehensive restoration and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.

Finished in gorgeous Red over a Black interior, this iconic British sports car combines timeless Series II styling with carefully selected upgrades that enhance drivability while preserving its classic character.

Power comes from a period-correct 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine sourced from a 1967 Jaguar E-Type, replacing the original engine with an equally desirable and era- correct powerplant. The engine is paired with a brand-new Tremec T-5 five-speed manual transmission, providing improved performance, smoother shifting, and relaxed highway cruising over the factory gearbox.

To improve reliability, the cooling system has been upgraded with a dual electric fan aluminum radiator, making this E-Type far more enjoyable in modern driving conditions.

The restoration was completed with incredible attention to detail and is supported by tens of thousands of dollars in receipts, documenting the extensive work performed.
