Sellers description:
1971 JAGUAR XK E ROADSTER (OTS) WITH A RELATIVELY NEW MOHAIR TOP IT IS BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF THE LAST 500 LHD E ROADSTERS BUILT

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 1999 FROM A PILOT WHO HAD 2 AND KEPT THEM IN HIS HANGER

THE CURRENT OWNER HAS TAKEN WELL CAR OF THE CAR AND HAS KEPT IT GARAGED MOST OF ITS TIME WITH HIM.
RECENTLY HE WAS FORCED TO MOVE THE CAR TO HIS INNER CITY ADDRESS WHERE OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS IT ATTRACTED A VANDAL AND A COUPLE OF MINOR HIT AND RUNS. SADLY WITH OUT PROPER STORAGE AT THIS TIME HE HAS DECIDED TO PART WITH HIS KITTY.

THE CAR RUNS WELL AND THE LEATHER INTERIOR IS IN DECENT CONDITION WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PATINA. THE GEARBOX SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND ALL ELECTRICS SEEM TO BE IN WORKING ORDER. THE DUAL FANS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED. THE WHEELS & TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AS IS MOST OF THE CHROME TRIM.

OTHER THAN THE 2 DENTS (PICTURED & THE KEYING ON THE BONNET) AND SOME MINOR RUST ON ONE OF THE ROCKER PANELS THE CAR IS SOLID. IT WILL NEED SOME MINOR BODY WORK AND SOME PAINT WORK .
IT WILL ALSO REQUIRE A NEW TACK STRIP AS IT IS LIFTING IN THE LEFT REAR CORNER

THE DECISION WILL BE YOURS TO REPAIR & REFINISH OR RESTORE BUT THIS IS A GOOD CAR TO START YOUR STEWARDSHIP OF ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC CARS OF OUR TIME.
