number motor One of the most recognizable shapes in the automotive
universe, the Jaguar E-type or XKE, is getting to be an endangered
species more than 60 years after its debut. This example is one of
only 8,628 examples made between 1968 and 1971. It is gorgeous,
complete with factory air-conditioning and factory hardtop, with
only 44,497 actual miles. Repainted sometime between 2006 and 2010,
the car?s paint and chrome trim are in overall excellent condition,
with some minor blemishes that are visible only close range. The
bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is very tidy and so
is the boot (cargo area), complete with spare tire with wheel and
carpeting. The chrome, wraparound bumpers are in excellent shape,
too. The E-type was sold in the summer of 2006 from a seller near
Traverse City, Michigan. The buyer had the car stripped to bare
metal then all panels were repaired and the car was repainted its
original color. Ten years later, the car ended up in Elyria, Ohio
at a joint-effort Chevrolet dealership and Greg?s Sports, Classic
and Muscle Cars. The underside of this solid E-Type was cleaned and
detailed to reveal the original unmolested primer floors and
underpinnings. This cat rolls on mixed radials, Michelin Defenders,
size 205/70R15 in front and Goodyear Wrangler STs in back, size
195/75R15, and as the spare tire. Each tire is mounted a newer
factory wire wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good
order. The car?s unique tilt forward bonnet (hood) exposes the
matching number 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine, with dual
Zenith-Stromberg carburetors and breathing via true dual exhausts.
Backing the motor is a four-speed manual transmission and a 3.54:1
rear end. Inside, the black Connolly Leather is a striking contrast
to the exterior color. The bucket seats are in very good order,
considering the car?s age. The center console has a rip and the
horn is inop, the wear shown correlates to the car?s age. The
matching Wilton wool carpet is in good, original order. The
original black, folding soft-top is in very good while the factory
hardtop makes this more of an all-weather car. A wood-rimmed,
three-spoke steering wheel frames the dashboard with its
aircraft-like toggle switches and full array of gauges. The inner
door panels are in very good shape, as is the console-mounted
shifter. A Philips AM/Shortwave/FM radio rounds out the interior.
The Series 2 introduced a number of design changes, largely due to
U.S. National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration mandates.
The most distinctive exterior feature is the absence of the glass
headlight covers, which affected several other imported cars, like
the Citro?n DS, as well. Unlike other cars, this step was applied
worldwide for the E-Type. Other hallmarks of Series 2 cars are a
wrap-around rear bumper, larger front indicators and taillights
re-positioned below the bumpers, and an enlarged grille and twin
electric fans to aid cooling. Additional U.S.-inspired changes
included a steering lock which moved the ignition switch to the
steering column, replacing the dashboard mounted ignition and push
button starter, the symmetrical array of metal toggle switches
replaced with plastic rockers, and a collapsible steering column to
absorb impact in the event of an accident. New seats allowed the
fitment of head restraints, as required by U.S. law beginning in
1969. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from
smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial "ribbed"
appearance. It was de-tuned in the US with twin two-barrel
Strombergs replacing three SUs. Air conditioning and power steering
were available as factory options. Documentation includes Jaguar
Heritage Certificate. Showing the cars exits today as it did the
day it was born on Nov. 13th, 1969 with its original matching
number motor 7R8929-9. Droptop competition to this Jag in 1970
included Chevrolet?s Corvette and Excalibur?s Series II SS
Roadster. Few Jaguar E-types come prettier than this one and with
as little mileage yet have factory features such as
air-conditioning and hardtop. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars
