1970 Jaguar E-type 4.2 Series II Open Two Seat Convertible has been owned by the sellers for eight years. They state that they have undertaken an ongoing program of repairs and maintenance throughout that period, while the Jaguar has been driven “less than 2,000 miles since 2016.” A Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate identifies this as a numbers-matching car that has undergone a color change by a previous owner. As listed for auction, this E-type is said to be “in very solid condition overall with the finish in excellent condition.”

The 4.2-liter DOHC inline-six was rated new at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque.

The power moves through a four-speed manual transmission to an independent rear end.

During the sellers’ ownership, the twin SU carburetors have been tuned.

A new fuel pump, iridium spark plugs, and a new battery and tray have been installed.

All fuses have been replaced, the oil has been recently changed, and all fluids flushed.

The Green exterior and tan leather interior were originally Signal Red with a red interior.

The finish is described as “excellent” by the sellers.

All brightwork is identified as “excellent,” all glass intact, and all lights functioning.

A tan vinyl folding top and vinyl top boot are included.

The sellers note minor scratches on the lower front portion of the bonnet.

Mild surface rust is also identified on the interior floor panels beneath the carpet.

The door panels, sill panels and console are covered with vinyl over aluminum.

The dashboard, steering wheel, instruments, and controls all appear fresh and clean.

All are said to function properly, and the tachometer and clock have been serviced.

The leather-piped carpet also appears to display neatly in the photos.

Most suspension elements look original, with newer lower ball joints installed.

No issues are reported with the four-wheel disc brakes.

The Jaguar was reportedly maintained under a car cover in a climate-controlled garage.
