About this car

This is a 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II roadster with the 4.2-litre six-cylinder engine and a manual gearbox. It is finished in British Racing Green with cream leather and a black mohair hood, and it is left-hand drive.

The car had a complete nut-and-bolt restoration in 2015. It was imported from California that year as part of a small business that supplied renovated E-Types to the upper end of the UK market. It then lived in the South of France, where it had annual technical inspections. The page says it has covered about 1,200 miles since the restoration and has been stored in a climate-controlled space. The odometer reads 36,000 miles.

It has a modern stereo and is described as being in near-concours condition. It passed an MoT on its return to the UK, though at this age it is exempt. The page lists one previous owner.
