This Series II E-type Roadster is a matching numbers example. Having originally been delivered to Canada, it is a rare 3-Carb SU setup without USA emissions (rather than 2-Carb Stromberg set up as fitted to American delivery Series II E-types), thus it is as delivered new in the UK and Europe and with more horsepower.
It was imported from Canada to Chicago by the first owner’s family and given to him as a gift for his graduation from medical school. It was used seasonally while living in Chicago. Years later, having ended his practice, the physician retired and relocated to Miami. The Jaguar travelled South where it enjoyed the warm weather and until being sold to its 2nd owner custodian in recent years.
The 2nd owner, a Florida sports car collector and true enthusiast had the E-type extensively restored. The complete exterior, brightwork, suspension and all mechanicals were restored. This E-type was never in an accident, the body lines and gaps are superb and that of a well cared for E-type. The undercarriage was also superb never having had rust from being used in inclement weather conditions. The interior, in excellent original condition was left as is due to its excellent and only slightly used condition. All parts used in the restoration were new old stock.
A testament to the cars current condition, just prior to being traded to Autosport Designs, Inc. by its 2nd owner towards a more modern Aston Martin, this E-type was shown at a concours event and took home a class win. It was subsequently sold during march of 2015 to its 3rd owner, a repeat client of Autosport Designs and enjoyed until its most recent trade toward another automobile in our inventory.
This E-type is offered in excellent condition with an extensive history/maintenance file from new. It comes with its original owners manual and dealer service coupon. Having road tested this E-type, I can confirm it runs properly and as it should in every way.
This is an excellent E-type with documented history, offered reasonably in today’s market.
