1970 Jaguar E-type Roadster

Please Read All

MotorCarTrader.com is thrilled to offer another great Jaguar E-type and Classic Sports Car. This is stunning and matching number Jaguar E-type Roadster Series 2 Roadster. This car was built on February 9th of 1970 and was dispatched on March 2th of 1970. The original colors of this great car are Regency Red with Beige Interior. From what we understand, this beautiful Jaguar E-type had only three owners since new and the mileage of 42,367 are the original miles. We purchased this car from the gentleman who owned the car for the past 15 years.

The previous owner had a new interior installed about 5 years ago. Also, the brakes and exhaust were completed less than 500 miles ago. In addition, new tires were installed two years ago. The car was a nice driver when we purchased it, but we wanted to go through the car and upgrade its overall condition. Here are some of items we addressed or changed:

  • We installed a new stay fast tan (cloth) top with new chrome trim and matching new stay fast tan (cloth) boot.
  • A new heater box installed with all new internal components and wiring.
  • New rear clam shells (chrome end pieces) on rear lamps
  • Newer wire wheels and new chrome knock offs (correct hex type)
  • Carburetors set up (emissions plates left open for more power)
  • Paint work done, wet sanding and buffing to bring back the paint(cracking etc.). Underside of hood stripped and repainted (was painted black when we first purchased). While not perfect, the paint on the car does have a few smaller imperfections from normal wear, but overall is very nice and is stunning with this color combination.
  • Underside completely cleaned, degreased and detailed. The floors are excellent originals and car does not have any rust.
  • New exhaust resonators installed
  • New dash top installed (original was cracked)
  • All switches gone through and headlights, panel and wiper switch replaced. The signal stalk/horn switch and wiring replaced (signal would not stay in on position). Everything works as it should.
  • Steering wheel replaced with another original style (wood was broken and needed refinishing). Also the steering wheel hub was replaced.
  • Engine compartment cleaned and detailed
  • New rubber floor mats
  • The engine is excellent with great compression of 167 to 170psi across all cylinders.
  • Radiator recored and tested
  • New door seals
  • New wiper motor
  • The chrome trim and bumpers have been cleaned and polished, but they are mostly original and show some wear from being original.
  • This car comes with the Jaguar Heritage Certificate (from the Jaguar Heritage Center) to confirm numbers and original color. This is a matching numbers car.

    Overall, this car is a great driver. While, it is not a concours show car, it is one of the nicer driver quality you will find. A great car to enjoy, as it does perform great and is very tight down the road. In addition, it is a great car to take to local shows or Jaguar club events. It certainly gets a lot of attention where ever it goes, as it is a truly gorgeous color combination. The Jaguar E-type Series 2 Roadster has been appreciating nicely and this certainly is a beautiful one.

    $4.5M Maryland mansion has a brick street with classic cars in its basement

    Sun, May 31 2020

    At one extremely large residence in Potomac, Maryland, the residents need not call the driver to head into town. Instead, the people who lived and will live in this house can simply take a walk downstairs to hit up the post office, or the theater, or the massage parlor. These faux shops are just a small part of a re-created old-style downtown strip, complete with a brick drive and classic collector cars.  Brought to light by Twitter user @victoriaxxviii, 11610 Highland Farm Road, Potomac, Maryland, is a 12,089-square-foot gated mansion that sits on four acres, with the opportunity to buy two more next to it. It has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms in the main house, a guest house with two bedrooms and a bathroom, and a pool house with a full kitchen and a bathroom. The place also has a heated pool and a tennis court. Yet, none of that would be of interest if not for the items hidden in the home's finished basement.  Best understood by seeing the photos above, the lower level of the house was built to resemble an old town. In addition to the aforementioned stores, it also has a sports shop, a flower shop, an inn, a tattoo parlor, a church, and most important, an auto repair shop and gas station. The repair shop is key, as there are several collectible cars positioned throughout the winding town road. Seen in the photos are a Citroen 2CV, a Jaguar E-Type roadster, a scooter, and a third vintage car that appears to be from the '20s or '30s.  The house was built in 1987 and features four garage spots. It is currently listed for $4.5 million, but it is unclear if the downstairs cars are included in the purchase. Visit Washington Fine Properties for more photos of the house and extra information about its amenities. Related Video:    

    Jaguar C-X17 crossover concept revealed, hides new lightweight aluminum architecture

    Mon, 09 Sep 2013

    Just as Jaguar teased earlier this month, the luxury marque is debuting its first-ever sports crossover concept at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins this week. In addition to previewing what a soft-roading Jag might look like, the C-X17 concept also showcases the brand's new advanced unibody aluminum architecture, which it calls the future of its brand.
    The British automaker touts the new technical foundation as high-strength, lightweight and extremely stiff, and notes that it incorporates sustainable technologies such as a high-strength alloy made from recycled raw material. The architecture's flexibility means Jaguar will be able to simultaneously manufacture several vehicles on the same production line - a change that will ultimately help the automaker grow its product portfolio.
    Indeed, if the C-X17 concept sees production, it would represent a completely new direction for Jaguar, which has previously focused on luxury sedans and sports cars. However, while Jaguar says a range of future models will be built using the new architecture, it hasn't yet mentioned a crossover. The first model to be built on the new underpinnings will launch globally in 2015, and it's - you guessed it - a premium midsize sedan.

    Jaguar F-Type Coupe proves sexy can't be disguised

    Wed, 19 Jun 2013

    Jaguar's new F-Type is a pretty potent little pouncer. And while we do love a good roadster, many of us at Autoblog are perhaps more excited about the upcoming hardtop version of Jag's stylish new entry-level sports car. Why? Because even here in heavily camouflaged prototype form, the thing looks really, really good - the sleek roofline blending rather nicely into the F-Type's shapely rump, allowing for better distinction of its pronounced hips over the rear wheel wells.
    Mechanically speaking, the F-Type Coupe should be identical to its droptop sibling. That means the supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 engine lineup should carry over unchanged, though we've heard rumors about a four-cylinder application as well. There's also talk of hotter R, R-S or R-S GT models coming down the pipeline, and based on what we've experienced in things like the XKR-S, we certainly can't deny the allure of such a model.
    It's unclear exactly when Jaguar will show the production F-Type Coupe (at the Frankfurt Motor Show, perhaps?), but the car is expected to go on sale sometime in 2014. Check it out in our latest spy gallery, above.
