See over 90 photos and video on main website: Garage Kept Motors. Offered here is a professionally restored, low-mileage 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster. This is one of the cleanest Jaguar examples weve had the privilege of bringing to market. Enzo Ferrari himself was quoted saying the Jaguar E-Type is the most beautiful car ever made, and we happen to agree with him. The car was professionally cosmetically and mechanically rebuilt at 22,000 miles. Today, it shows less than 24,000 original miles. RM Restorations of Chatham, Ontario, notorious Jaguar experts, performed the restoration work, including a new leather interior and new carpeting. Mechanically, the braking system was rebuilt, all new suspension components installed, and a complete tune-up and rebuilt carbs on the original 4.2L/246hp Inline 6-Cylinder engine by a Jaguar specialist. The car is finished in eye-catching red paint over a tan leather interior. It is rust-free and flawless on every surface (see photos). According the E-Type registry, this car, no. 1R8385, is one of 7,852 left-hand drive open two seaters ever built. The car fires on command and is a great running/driving example. It sounds great and is a blast to drive. With just three-owners, and fresh restoration, and less than 24,000 original miles, this is a great investment opportunity. Concours examples are valued at over $150k, making this car an awesome value at the price offered here. Call or e-mail if interested or to make a reasonable offer. Thank you for looking.

Did not sell
RM | Auctions - AUBURN SPRING 29 MAY - 1 JUNE 2019
Lot 5082
Identification No. J691R8385
Engine No. 7R3905-9
Showing only 23,572 miles; believed to be original
Older excellent restoration by RM Auto Restorations
Scored 991.7/1000 in 2017, JCNA judging sheet included
Upgraded with triple Weber carburetor and intake
Recent tune-up and restored braking system and suspension
Includes Jaguar Heritage certificate
This beautiful 1969 4.2-Litre roadster was restored some years ago by RM Auto Restorations. It has been meticulously maintained since and driven roughly 1,000 miles, used exclusively for shows. In 2017, the car was judged at a Jaguar Club North America event where it scored an impressive 991.7 out of 1,000 possible points. A six-point deduction for not having horns has since been alleviated, with fully functional horns installed. Given the improvement, the car would presumably score closer to that perfect 1,000-point mark. The car was recently mechanically sorted, which included a tune up; as well as a restoration of the braking and suspension systems.
The E-Type is arguably the most iconic road-going car Jaguar ever produced. This example, having been judged to a very high standard by marque experts and more recently benefitted from a mechanical sorting, is sure to impress future owners for years to come.
