Please call Matt directly at 513-708-1468 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is very proud to offer this absolutely
spectacular 1974 Jaguar E-Type Roadster with only 46,240 original
miles. The car has a stunning paintjob, brilliantly refinished
chrome, and a beautiful interior. It looks fantastic, runs great,
and is a pleasure to drive. It is finished in the gorgeous color
combination of White over Biscuit Tan interior.
A Jaguar Production Record Trace Certificate history report from
the Jaguar Heritage Trust is included with the car. It confirms
that the wonderful color scheme is the correct and original one.
The low mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car,
but also the clear Ohio title that shows the mileage as
"Actual."
This is an excellent opportunity to own a very rare and highly
desirable classic Jaguar. The market on Jaguar E-Type's is very hot
right now, especially for nice examples like this car. One could
easily buy this car now and sell it for more than the purchase
price in years to come. There is no way someone could purchase a
similar Jaguar and restore it to this level of quality for anything
near our asking price. Please peruse all of the photos, video, and
other information below to get a true sense of how exceptionally
nice this Jaguar really is.
As a side note, this E-Type is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our Classics come from
owners who expect their cars to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
Jaguar, just give us a call.
Exterior
The White exterior is in beautiful driver quality condition. As one
can see in the photos the finish has dazzling gloss, deep shine,
and smooth finish. The chrome and brightwork on the car looks
stunning with a bright and brilliant finish. The wire wheels and
spinners are in excellent condition with a great finish and no curb
rash. The tires have plenty of tread left and are sized 215060R15.
There are no major blemishes that have been intentionally excluded
from the photos, there may be a few tiny imperfections that were
too small to show up in the photos, but nothing that is noticeable
from about five feet away. The convertible top looks wonderful and
almost brand new. There are no holes, frayed edges, and the rear
window is perfectly clean with no scratches or yellowing.
Interior
The Biscuit Tan leather interior of the Jaguar looks utterly
splendid. The quality of the workmanship and materials is
top-notch. The seats are in excellent condition with no split
seams, rips, or hardly any wear at all. The carpet is also in great
condition with no stains, rips, or holes. The dash is in nice
condition with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The gauge faces
are clean, but some of the lenses are a bit cloudy. The door panels
look excellent. This car has not been smoked in; there are
obviously no burn marks or aroma of cigarettes what-so-ever.
The trunk is very clean, highly detailed, and well-trimmed with a
matching full size spare tire and matching chrome wire wheel.
Mechanical
This Jaguar E-Type seems to be in good mechanical condition. The
inline six engine starts every time, runs well, and idles smooth.
The car drives nicely on the road and at highway speeds. In the
video below one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up
to about 70mph, braking to a stoplight, and going through some
curves. Please note that there are no vibrations and the car
performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not
pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts well
throughout the power band.
The wipers work as do the horn, blower, headlights, running lights,
brights, taillights, speedometer, tachometer, and odometer. The
water temp gauge and fuel gauge appear to work. There are some
items that do not work such as the clock, air conditioning, battery
gauge, oil pressure gauge, and the temp control knob is sticky. The
left turn signals have worked sporadically and the right turn sign
goes on, but does not flash.
As with many other older carbureted cars it is a bit cold blooded,
but has started ever time for us when the choke is used properly.
Also, the engine compartment is very correct as one can see in the
photos. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is
to drive this Jaguar roadster, especially with the top down on a
nice day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1974 Jaguar E-Type Roadster is in marvelous driver
quality condition. As stated above, there is absolutely no way
someone could restore a Jaguar to anywhere near this level for any
amount near our asking price.
The low miles, nice condition, Trust Certificate, and the beautiful
correct color combination make this car especially important and
difficult to duplicate. This Jaguar always gets a ton of attention
driving down the road. It is very apparent that the vehicle has
been well taken care of by its previous owners. One could easily
enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the
purchase price with minimal effort.
Thank you for looking and please email or call with any
questions.
