                         WE ARE ASSISTING WITH THE SALE OF THIS 1970 JAGUAR XKE..............THAT STARTED LIFE AS A 2+2 COUPE WITH A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
                         IT WAS PURCHASED BY THE CURRENT OWNER 15 YEARS AGO.
DURING THAT TIME HE HAS CONVERTED IT TO A STANDARD SHIFT TRANSMISSION ACCOMPANIED BY AN ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL WITH THE BALANCE OF THE PARTS BEING  ALL JAGUAR, INCLUDING AN E TYPE GEARBOX.

THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REBUILT USING ISKY CAMS OVER A FRESH VALVE JOB AND NEW PISTONS, RINGS, BEARINGS, OIL PUMP, ETC AND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CARBURETORS WERE UPGRADE TO TRIPLE 2" SU'S. AND A SET OF FREE FLOW TUBULAR HEADERS WERE INSTALLED

THE REAR END AND REAR BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY REFURBISHED INCLUDING A GEAR CHANGE TO 2:88 WHICH MAKE THIS CAR A GREAT HIGHWAY CRUISER.

HE ALSO ADDED AN ORIGINAL JAGUAR HARDTOP.

THE MAJORITY OF THIS WAS DONE DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP BUT BECAUSE THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN USED DURING THE SHORT SUMMER MONTHS HERE IN NEW ENGLAND IT HAS NOT ACCUMULATED THAT MANY MILES. LAST YEAR IT WAS ONLY USED ABOUT 400 MILES.

THE CAR RUNS REAL STRONG AND IS FAST COMPARED TO A STOCK 1970'S  JAG AS A RESULT OF THE CAMS, CARBURETORS, ALUMINUM FLYWHEEL AND THE REAR END GEAR RATIO.

THE PAINT IS GOOD BUT THERE ARE SOME FLAWS WHICH WE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. THERE ARE NO FRONT BUMPERS AND THE REARS COULD USE A RE-PLATE. THE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE DECENT. ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS WORK. THERE IS NO CLOCK. THERE IS A TONNEAU COVER THAT CAN BE FITTED WHEN THE HARD TOP IS REMOVED BUT THERE IS NO CONVERTIBLE TOP OR TOP FRAME. THESE CAN BE HAD ON BAY IF SO DESIRED.

TWO YEARS AGO  HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GEARBOX SO THAT WAS REMOVED AND REBUILT AND A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED.

IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO START AND IS A BLAST TO DRIVE.

THIS MORPHED JAGUAR IS BEING OFFERED AT A FRACTION OF THE COST TO DO THE ABOVE MENTIONED WORK NOT INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE CAR.

YES IT IS A CONVERTED CAR AND YES IT NEEDS A BIT OF TLC BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND A RUNNING, DRIVING, DECENT LOOKING OPEN E TYPE FOR THIS LOW... LOW PRICE. WE HAVE SOLD CARS THAT NEEDED 10'S OF THOUSAND OF DOLLARS FOR MORE THAN WHAT HIS CAR IS BEING OFFERED FOR.

IT NEEDS ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF $$ AND ATTENTION TO BRING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND YOU WILL  STILL BE INTO IT FOR LESS THAN A BEAST THAT NEEDS RESTORATION
