Sellers description:
1973 Jaguar E-Type
HERE IS A VERY NICE 1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE CONVERTIBLE. FINISHED WITH A WHITE EXTERIOR AND BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR. THE ODOMETER READS 36,162 MILES WHICH IS IN ALL PROBABILITY THE ACTUAL MILEAGE. OPTIONS ON THIS JAGUAR INCLUDE A 4-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, AIR CONDITIONING, LEATHER SEATS, WIRE WHEELS, LEATHER JAGUAR STEERING WHEEL AND MUCH MORE.

THIS JAGUAR JUST UNDERWENT A COMPLETE SERVICE WITHIN THE LAST 20 MILES AND IT DRIVES EVEN BETTER THAN IT LOOKS. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A VERY EXTENSIVE SERVICE FILE DATING BACK MANY YEARS. THE 12 CYLINDER ENGINE IS STRONG AND POWERFUL AND THE 4-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS. THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND PRECISE AND THE BRAKES FEEL JUST GREAT. ALL OF THE SMITH GAUGES ARE WORKING PROPERLY AS WELL. THIS E-TYPE HAS RECENTLY BEEN FITTED WITH A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM AS WELL. THIS REALLY IS A GREAT JAGUAR TO DRIVE.

THE INTERIOR IS STUNNING. THE SEATS HAVE JUST BEEN RECOVERED IN LEATHER AND ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO WEAR SHOWING TO EITHER SEAT. THE DASHBOARD LOOKS PERIOD AND CORRECT AND EVEN THE CARPETS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE.

THE EXTERIOR IS WHAT REALLY SETS THIS PARTICULAR E-TYPE APART FROM THE REST. THE WHITE PAINT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION WITH NO MAJOR SCRATCHES OR DINGS ANYWHERE AT ALL. THE PAINT IS BRIGHT AND SHINY WITH PLENTY OF LUSTER. THIS JAGUAR HAS JUST BEEN FITTED WITH A BRAND NEW CONVERTIBLE TOP WHICH REALLY ADDS TO THE CLASSIC LOOK AND DESIGN OF THE CAR. EVEN THE WIRE WHEELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION AND THEY ARE MOUNTED ON VERY GOOD TIRES.

THE 1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE REALLY WAS THE ULTIMATE EXOTIC CAR OF IT'S DAY. WITH THE 12 CYLINDER ENGINE IT HAD SUPERCAR PERFORMANCE, A CONVERTIBLE TOP FOR ALL SEASON FUN AND ALL OF JAGUAR'S LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF XKE'S, AND THIS ONE REALLY HAPPENS TO LOOK AND DRIVE VERY WELL. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS EXAMPLE TO BE A VERY GOOD DRIVER OR LOCAL SHOW CAR (NOT A CONCOURS OR PRISTINE CAR BY ANY MEANS). THERE ARE SOME "APOLOGIES" TO THIS E-TYPE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION. THERE ARE A FEW CHIPS HERE AND THERE IN THE PAINT (SEE PICTURE) WHICH IS A DECENT QUALITY PAINT JOB, THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT COULD USE SOME ATTENTION AND DETAIL (SEE PICTURE), AND THE INSIDE DOOR JAMBS COULD USE ATTENTION (SEE PICTURES). OTHER THAN THESE ITEMS, THIS REALLY HAPPENS TO BE A VERY NICE CAR.
