I'm selling this car for my Father. It's been in our family 25 years.
This car has never been restored. It has been repainted once and had it's leather seats recovered. This was done back in the early 1990's. The car has a factory hardtop. This car is considered the last of the series one cars, having all the desirable features of the series one cars, Triple SU's, slim bumpers and lights, toggle switches with one of the first open headlight bonnets.
This car is in very nice condition, very solid, rust free and always been in San Diego, Ca.. The paint is twenty years old and still looks great. There are a few minor flaws. There is some shrinkage on the bonnet near the headlight buckets, a couple of repaired paint chips on the edge of the trunk lid. Overall the car looks great and these areas are hardly noticeable. The chrome is excellent. The Hardtop has never been restored, is all original and in nice shape. The black paint is thin in places. I've just replaced some of the rubber seals. The car also has the AMCO bumpers that fit between the overiders, I just took them off.
The interior is also very nice with everything being correct. The center console is the only area that shows some wear, which is minor. The stereo isn't hooked up and does pull out leaving a neat hole. Everything in this car works with the exception of the small clock in the tach. The top was also replaced in the early 1990's, is in great shape and the back window clear. It's spent most of it's life folded down. The top boot is the original, looks fine but is showing some wear. The trunk has a been relined and looks new. The spare is a nice Michelin on a very nice rim. The jack and knock-off hammer are in their bag. There is no tool kit. We never had one.
Mechanically the car is excellent. It runs, drives and stops just like a nice E-type should. Two years ago my wife and I drove this car from Whidbey Island, Wa. to San Diego, Ca. using Highway 1 and 101 as much as we could. The car ran flawlessly, it was a fantastic drive.
Before that trip we replaced all four tires and tubes, the brake master and booster. All the coolant hoses. A new electronic ( pointless ) SU fuel pump and the starter.
Seven years ago I dropped the rear sub frame , resealed the diff. and rebuilt everything else, plus new shocks and calipers front and rear . Steering rack mounts and boots. Drive shaft rebuilt. Converted the car to a spin on oil filter
There was also a valve job done when we first bought the car. My Brother and I owned a British Sports Car shop in San Diego at the time. The mileage of 68,322 is believed to be correct. My father worked overseas and the car spent most of it's life in storage.
It's body tag reads ; Car # 1E15126 , Engine # 7E12765-9 , Body # 4E6911 and Gearbox # EJ134888 .
I never looked at the gearbox, but all the other numbers match including the head and the block. The small silver tag near this reads J/67 .
Overall this is a great E-type. It's a car I have always loved and cared for, hoping it would be mine one day. But it's not to be, so here's your chance. This E-type looks and drives great, but isn't so perfect that you're afraid to use it. It is a 46 year old car, so it's not perfect, just very nice.
If you have any questions please ask them before bidding or even better arrange for a personal inspection. Call Paul at 360-632-1016
SHIPPING is the responsibility of the buyer. I will help in anyway possible. The car is located in Clinton, Washington state. About an hour north of Seattle. Clinton is on Whidbey Island and has good access by ferry.
PAYMENT : The winning bidder should please contact us within 24 hours of the auction closing. A non refundable $2000 deposit via paypal at that time. Balance due in certified U.S. funds via bank wire transfer within 7 days of auction close. We will not release the car until the bank is OK with the transfer. Usually 24 hrs.
The E-type is being sold "as-is" with no warranties of any kind expressed or implied. The mileage is correct to the best of out knowledge.

Exploring Romania's storied Transfagarasan Highway in a Jaguar F-Type V8 S
Wed, 05 Feb 2014Top Gear is, in some ways, a victim of its own success. When it declares a road the best in the world, like it did with Romania's Transfagarasan Highway during its 14th season, you can't blame people for showing up and wanting to check it out. Of course, then the road becomes clogged with tourists and is less fun to drive.
But is it possible that there is an even better driving road in Romania? One that is higher, smoother and undiscovered by tourists - at least not yet? Henry Catchpole from Evo thinks that he may have found it while driving a Jaguar F-Type V8 S that makes a sound that evokes a World War II British fighter plane.
Scroll down to take a brief trip to Romania and bask in the wonderful roar of this topless Jaguar.
Jaguar's Callum refutes two XJ bodystyle rumor
Wed, 01 May 2013Not long ago, we relayed word from Edmunds that Jaguar was planning to split its next-generation XJ sedan into two bodystyles - one model that continued the ambitious design approach fostered with the current X351-based model, and another, more upright model to better appeal to China's conservative design sensibilities.
We expressed some cynicism in the idea, noting that such a strategy "might catch more profits for the marque, but it might also represent a setback to design head Ian Callum's vision for a thoroughly modern Jaguar portfolio." Callum has been quite insistent in his belief that Jag needs to be a forward-thinking brand in terms of design, and the two-model strategy seemed to conflict with that idea. We tried to get some comment from Callum at that time, but were unable to reach him.
As it turns out, our cynicism was well-placed. Autocar says that while the next XJ will continue to have two wheelbases, Callum has denied the two-model talk, saying flatly: "I can't see us doing two bodystyles. The cost would be enormous and the message inconsistent. You have to believe in what you produce and to do two bodystyles would undermine that."
Land Rover planning SVX hardcore off-roaders
Sun, May 3 2015The new Special Vehicle Operations division at Jaguar Land Rover has already given us an array of ultimate wheeled creations, but it isn't quite done yet. Next, according to Car and Driver, will be a new line of SVX models. Not to be confused with the Subaru coupe from the 1990s (which also had all-wheel drive, come to think of it), Land Rover's SVX models will be hardcore off-roaders. Details are few and far between at the moment, but they're said to take inspiration from rough-terrain events like the Dakar Rally and Camel Trophy as inspiration – different from the Ford F-150 Raptor that takes its cues from the Baja 1000. Last we heard, Land Rover was planning a hardcore Defender to send the model off to pasture in high-performance style, and considering an extreme Range Rover as well. If either of those rumors materialize, they look like they'd be prime candidates for the SVX line. JLR Special Vehicle Operations has already showcased what it can do with the high-performance Range Rover Sport SVR, the luxed-up Range Rover SVAutobiography, the exclusive F-Type Project 7 and the continuation classic Lightweight E-Type. C/D confirms that further SVR models are in store to replace Jaguar's R-S performance models, while the SVX line would likely remain exclusive to Land Rover.
