The E-Type is arguably one of the most sleek and stunning cars to be introduced during the ’70s. Its long nose and big wheels scream fashion and esteem. It was also quick and functional. This roadster example is said to have just over 31k miles and is listed for auction on eBay. The bidding ends on Saturday, November 15th.
The E-Type is finished in black with a color-matched soft top. The exterior appears to be in good condition and seems to be fairly rust-free. A rear luggage rack acts as extra storage. The Jaguar wears laced spoke wheels that add some texture to the car’s overall exterior image. Some minor restoration work could be needed to get this car back to its prime but overall the exterior presents well.
The car’s black leather interior shows some minor signs of aging that could likely be remedied with a refinish. The wood-rimmed steering wheel is also in good condition but could need some attention. The car’s air conditioning is still present and the factory tool set and spare tire accompanies the sale of the car.
A front-opening hood reveals a 4.2-liter inline-6 engine that sends power to the wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. The car is said to start and drive. The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most iconic cars ever made. Their image has appeared across films and media for decades and will continue to do so. They’re sleek, speedy, and have an aura about them that says more than the average car. They are special. It is easy to imagine the A-list celebrities of the ’70s cruising with the top down on Melrose Avenue in this car. If you want to own a piece of ’70s culture bid on this 1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster on eBay before the auction ends Saturday.
You might mean that the auction ends on December 15, not November 15.
Actually, it ends on December 14.
If it is running and driving, why is there not a fuel line between the fuel filter and the carbs? Or did they bypass the filter?
I think if you look closely, fuel enters fuel filter on rh side, exits left side via black hose that goes to carbs.
That would be least of my worries. Rear exhaust manifold is crusty from what appears to be coolant leaking. There is rust on the crank pully, which says this has spent a lot of time outdoors. I’d want to really check this over for rust in tupical locations. Seats certainly not representative of a typical 31K mile E type. If anyone interested yhey should hire someone from the local Jag club JANE, to give this a thorough exam.
The E-Type was introduced in the ’60s.
OMG you are testing the weak link in my 12 step program. Someone please snatch this up before I get myself in trouble with myself. Never say never.
The E Type was introduced to the world at the Geneva Auto Show of March, 1961. By 1970, the year of this Series II, the car had been around nine years…but was still very charismatic.
Driver’s rear fender is as wavy as an Iowa grain field. Floor pans beat up. Plenty of miles on this Jag.
SOLD for 46K.
Even though this auction is marked as sold, it is now relisted and the bidding is currently at $25,400.
