1970 Jaguar E-type Roadster

Please Read All

MotorCarTrader.com is thrilled to offer another great Jaguar E-type and Classic Sports Car. This is stunning and matching number Jaguar E-type Roadster Series 2 Roadster. This car was built on February 9th of 1970 and was dispatched on March 2th of 1970. The original colors of this great car are Regency Red with Beige Interior. From what we understand, this beautiful Jaguar E-type had only three owners since new and the mileage of 42,367 are the original miles. We purchased this car from the gentleman who owned the car for the past 15 years.

The previous owner had a new interior installed about 5 years ago. Also, the brakes and exhaust were completed less than 500 miles ago. In addition, new tires were installed two years ago. The car was a nice driver when we purchased it, but we wanted to go through the car and upgrade its overall condition. Here are some of items we addressed or changed:

  • We installed a new stay fast tan (cloth) top with new chrome trim and matching new stay fast tan (cloth) boot.
  • A new heater box installed with all new internal components and wiring.
  • New rear clam shells (chrome end pieces) on rear lamps
  • Newer wire wheels and new chrome knock offs (correct hex type)
  • Carburetors set up (emissions plates left open for more power)
  • Paint work done, wet sanding and buffing to bring back the paint(cracking etc.). Underside of hood stripped and repainted (was painted black when we first purchased). While not perfect, the paint on the car does have a few smaller imperfections from normal wear, but overall is very nice and is stunning with this color combination.
  • Underside completely cleaned, degreased and detailed. The floors are excellent originals and car does not have any rust.
  • New exhaust resonators installed
  • New dash top installed (original was cracked)
  • All switches gone through and headlights, panel and wiper switch replaced. The signal stalk/horn switch and wiring replaced (signal would not stay in on position). Everything works as it should.
  • Steering wheel replaced with another original style (wood was broken and needed refinishing). Also the steering wheel hub was replaced.
  • Engine compartment cleaned and detailed
  • New rubber floor mats
  • The engine is excellent with great compression of 167 to 170psi across all cylinders.
  • Radiator recored and tested
  • New door seals
  • New wiper motor
  • The chrome trim and bumpers have been cleaned and polished, but they are mostly original and show some wear from being original.
  • This car comes with the Jaguar Heritage Certificate (from the Jaguar Heritage Center) to confirm numbers and original color. This is a matching numbers car.

    Overall, this car is a great driver. While, it is not a concours show car, it is one of the nicer driver quality you will find. A great car to enjoy, as it does perform great and is very tight down the road. In addition, it is a great car to take to local shows or Jaguar club events. It certainly gets a lot of attention where ever it goes, as it is a truly gorgeous color combination. The Jaguar E-type Series 2 Roadster has been appreciating nicely and this certainly is a beautiful one.

    Could Jaguar become an EV-only brand?

    Fri, Oct 12 2018

    Just yesterday we wrote about the Heisenbergian uncertainty surrounding the future of the Jaguar F-Type. A new report in Autocar prompts us to consider extending that ambiguity to the entire Jaguar brand. The UK magazine reports the automaker's product planners have devised a ten-year plan to switch to a pure EV lineup of cars and crossovers. According to Autocar's sources this is a planning exercise and doesn't have the green light, but it's "fairly advanced" and has adherents inside the company. The first shot fired would be an all-electric XJ replacement. That sedan, a "no-holds-barred luxury car" to challenge the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan, would provide emissions-free motoring before the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7 Series come with their EV propositions. Around 2023, an EV crossover a touch larger than the full-sized Audi E-tron would replace both the XF and XE sedans. Two years later, a new mid-sized I-Pace would debut as both the F-Pace and E-Pace fade out. And two years after that, around 2027, the J-Pace luxury crossover would sigh its last ICE gasp. And what about the F-Type? The report says "with no replacement for F-Type in the works," an electric sports car "is also a possibility." There's no mention of the XK revival. Right now, Jaguar sells seven models - four sedans and three crossovers. As the Autocar article's written, come 2027 Jaguar would have an electric XJ sedan, a full-sized EV crossover, the I-Pace, and perhaps an electric sports car. That's a brave new world - one we're not sure Jaguar dealers could survive in. Problem is that Jaguar and its dealers are having plenty of problems now. Chinese-market volatility, the cloud around diesels, and Brexit uncertainty have contributed to a sales slump so dire that Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant is going to a three-day week for the rest of the year. The sales flu has spread to Land Rover, too, the brand's Solihull plant closing for two weeks to realign dealer inventory. Considering all that, and with no easy relief in sight, the product planners are apparently debating whether a new, traditional three-model sedan range is worth the investment. The upside of going all-electric is said to be higher sales, with internal estimates supposing 300,000 units annually. Last year Jaguar sold 178,500 units. The marque could rake in larger profit margins on those sales, too, thanks to premium buyers being ready to shell out big ducats for EVs.

    Watch the trailer for Jaguar's short film staring the F-Type and Damian Lewis

    Thu, 07 Mar 2013

    Jaguar continues to think well outside of the box when it comes to marketing it's new F-Type, now furthering plans for a short film which highlights the sexy roadster. Desire, featuring Damian Lewis (star of the hit series Homeland), Jordi Mollà (unforgettable in Bad Boys II) and Shannyn Sossamon (that girl you had a crush on for like a month in 2002 after you rented A Knight's Tale), Jaguar is clearly pulling out all the stops for this one. Well, nearly all the stops anyway ­- the "Ridley Scott Associates" billing isn't quite the same has having the man himself, if we're splitting hairs.
    The short video below is still just a trailer for Desire - the full film will make its debut sometime in April, we're told. The sketched out plotlines tell us that Lewis' character Clark, "...delivers cars for a living, running into trouble after a chance encounter with a mysterious, young woman (Sossamon) in the middle of a lawless desert." The car looks good, at any rate.
    Call us crazy, but the Desire trailer feels an awful lot like a spoof on the cool-but-overly-serious short films that BMW has done in this vein, already. Maybe we're just being cynical? Tell us what you think in comments after watching the clip.

    GM, Audi, Jaguar halt Russian sales amidst ruble's collapse

    Fri, Dec 19 2014

    The value of Russia's ruble currency has sunk like a stone tossed in the Volga for much of the year, losing over 40 percent of its worth since June. The change is having bizarre effects on the auto industry there and leaving some automakers scrambling to adjust. According to Bloomberg, Russians are buying up luxury goods including automobiles at the moment to have a physical investment in case the ruble sinks further. However, with the money worth so little, the companies aren't making much from these transactions. Things are so dire that several automakers are temporarily ending deliveries until the situation stabilizes. According to Bloomberg, General Motors stopped sales on December 16 with no set date to start again. Audi did the same thing but with the intention to resume once it has adjusted model pricing. Jaguar Land Rover terminated business until December 19 to see how things changed. Toyota is increasing its pricing, as well, but keeping business open at the same time. Some automakers have subtly been reacting to the slumping Russian auto market all year. The moves have included Volkswagen cutting production by 30,000 units from its factory in Kaluga. Ford also got rid of 950 workers from two plants due to low demand. Some analysts have even speculated that the contracting industry and possibility of lower import duties into the country could cause companies to end their manufacturing in Russia completely.
