1969 Jaguar E Type Roadster Street/race Fast And Fun - Total Restoration on 2040-cars

 

Jaguar E-Type Street/Race Car -  1969

 

I built this car to reflect the vintage racing spirit of the 1960’s and 70s’ when my dad and others would have a sports car that they could drive on the street and track …. Along with valuable current technology for improved performance, reliability and usability. Why have a race car that you can only drive a few times a year at a track with high transportation costs, entry fees and maintenance. This beautiful and fast Jaguar is “1 Bad Cat” that you can drive for fun on the street and take to the track and be competitive.  I am reluctantly selling as I need cash for my start-up business …. And my wife found out how much $$$$ I put into it.

The car has never been raced and has less than 150 miles since build. NOTE Mileage is unknown - listed as exempt on Title
