Ebay item 9/24/10
www.streetsideclassics.com/

Extremely well-documented 1970 Jaguar XKE Roadster with only 30,536 original miles. This is a true survivor car that’s only had two owners since new. The current owner has held this car since 1978 and has kept good records on it over the years. We even have the original owner’s manuals and the metal warranty card with the first owner’s information! The car is finished in the original Regency Red color with black leather interior and black convertible top. It looks great riding on the factory wire wheels, the E-Type Jaguars have been voted one of the best looking cars of 20th Century and it’s easy to see why while looking at this car! This XKE is a great running car that has been kept up with regular servicing. It does, however, show age in some areas so if you’re looking for a concourse XKE either be prepared to do some restoration work or go find another XKE but be prepared to pay a lot more money. There is something to be said for original car’s like this XKE, you just never quite get the same feel with a fully restored car.

Over $30,000.00 spent in Mechanical, chrome and paint restauration in the last two years with all receipts upon request. Please see video to see all the records. This is not me typing the work it is a receipt for everything type in. :)

This is a completed orginal "all together" JAGUAR ETYPE SERIES 2 ROADSTER which can simply be purchased and enjoyed. This is not the average Etype. I have spent money and time to make it one of the best etype for sale which makes for a perfect high standard weekend driver. Restoring these can be expensive so this one makes for great buying considering everything has been done. This car has been appraised for $73,200.00 and is insured by Hagerty for this amount and also is listed in their price guide value for more than this amount.
