Vehicle Description
Finished in Signal Red, seats trimmed in Black Connolly Leather
with Black Wilton Wool carpeting and Black hood (top). This
motorcar not only looks and drives great but offers all of the
options one would expect in a sports touring classic. It is a
matching numbers 1974 Jaguar e-type came to us the first time from
one of the officers of the North Georgia Jaguar Club. During his
ownership he did an excellent job at both maintaining and
documenting the car. The V12 Jaguars are superb cars once they have
been sorted out. We did much of the work on this car. Unfortunately
for Jaguar, USA regulations during the early 1970's dictated 5 MPH
impact bumpers and a series of emission control equipment. These
cars were never designed with those requirements in mind and to
meet regulations compromises had to be made. In 1974 that meant
very ugly rubber bumpers and complex emission add-ons that both
reduced engine power and increased the running temperature. In
Europe the e-type continued to be made with its original small
bumpers and without the emission add-ons. This car has been
returned to the specifications its designers intended. Gone are the
ugly bumpers and the complexity of the emission system. This car
looks and drives excellent! The paint is very nice with a deep
luster. There are a few paint stress cracks near the gas and trunk
lids. Personally I would leave them as is. Wire wheels are as new
and so are the tires. Interior and canvas soft top were replaced a
few years ago and are still in excellent condition. The car has air
conditioner which works well. Clock works. The car has automatic
transmission which I really like on the V12 e-type. I generally
prefer manual shift cars but for the V12 e-type I make an
exception. I have owned several manual shift V12 e-type and find
the automatics better cars to drive. Don't believe me .... just
drive this e-type and you will be convinced. Included is the spare
tire, jack in its bag, boot cover (for when the soft top is down),
owner's manual, service manual and the last 10 year of receipts and
work orders. Take a look at how nice the bottom pans and sills are.
