1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II OTS Manual Convertible
This is a 1970 Numbers Matching E-Type that I purchased in 2011 and was told the body underwent a full restoration and refinish about fifteen years prior to my purchase. The paint is excellent with very few imperfections and is a base coat/clear coat finish. The chrome is decent for a driver but I did plan to have the bumpers re-plated at some point. Car runs and drives excellent although it does consume some oil between oil changes which I suspect may be worn valve seals.
I have reconditioned all mechanical systems on the car. All brake calipers were rebuilt with new seals and stainless steel pistons. All suspension rubber was renewed. The clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder were completely refurbished and the brake master cylinder was replaced. A cool cat spin on oil filter adapter was installed as was a new alternator and voltage regulator. Clutch and brake fluid bottles were also replaced. Suspension components that were removed were abrasive blasted and urethane coated. New upper & lower ball joints installed as well as new Boge front shocks.
The rear IRS was removed and the “cage” was powder-coated. The rear suspension was completely rebuilt with all new seals and needle bearings as well as four new Boge shocks and refinished. Pinion Seal in the Differential was replaced and the unit was refilled with synthetic gear lube as was the transmission. The interior of the trunk has new plywood panels as well as a new correct fuel pump. The old one worked fine but was replaced as a precaution and will go with the car as a spare. The boot hinge springs were also replaced. The entire underside of the car was stripped to bare metal and urethane coated. The area around the rear suspension cage was coated with 3-M Body Schutz as was the interior of the boot before the fuel tank was reinstalled. All wiring was gone through and all accessories work as they should.
