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.

    Never-was Jaguar C-X75 hybrid supercar driven by Autocar

    Mon, 24 Jun 2013

    There's lucky, and then there's "I got to drive the Jaguar C-X75." The crew from Autocar is among the handful of souls who can honestly make the latter statement. Jaguar invited the publication down for a little time in both the passenger and driver seats around the automaker's proving grounds. While there's no end to the jealousy oozing from our pores, the good news is that there were a few cameras on hand to capture the experience. As you may recollect, the C-X75 Concept was a unique hybrid supercar concept built to duke it out with the likes of the Ferrari LaFerrari, Porsche 918 and the McLaren P1. The British automaker put it on track for production, but unfortunately stopped the project about six months ago.
    With a twincharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine capable of revving to 10,000 rpm, the C-X75 concept yields 502 horsepower and gets partnered with four electric motors - one at each wheels. A 19kWh lithium-ion battery pack serves up 300kW of power, and combined, the motors and battery are capable of yielding an additional 194 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Combined, the driveline is good for more than 850 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque. Said another way, the C-X75 will do the 0-60 miles per hour dance in under three seconds.
    And Autocar got to drive it. You can watch the video for yourself by scrolling below.

    Is Jaguar testing an electrified XE?

    Sun, Mar 22 2015

    Rumors about Jaguar Land Rover moving further into electrification for its models have been circulating for the last several months. Thanks to some new spy shots, there's even more evidence that the company could have a hybrid or electric model on the way. According to our spies, this rather innocuous looking XE was spied with a group of camouflaged XF and F-Pace prototypes in Spain. Everything about the luxury sedan looks fairly stock until you see the rear end. There, just under the taillight, is a circular blue badge with an "E" in it. That emblem and the vehicle being with other test cars hints at the possibility of Jaguar doing something electrified with the vehicle. Unfortunately, there are no other clues here to determine exactly what is happening underneath the skin. Jaguar Land Rover has been insinuating its intention to build greener models for a while. The company even founded an engineering center partially for them in 2013. A fully electric powertrain is reportedly under development to slot into the F-Pace and maybe also for a Land Rover. Meanwhile, Jag has a trademark on the name EV-Type. With these new photos, the signs of JLR's coming electrification continue to mount.

    Jaguar working on windows that open when you touch them

    Mon, Jan 12 2015

    Jaguar is working on side windows that will whir up and down not with a push of a button, but with a touch of the glass itself. According to Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum, "For instance, if you want to pull the windows down, you touch a certain area of the glass and you can actually just drop them down." Callum would go on to caution, "These things are all a work in progress at the moment," before pausing and saying, "That's coming." When we asked when we might see such technology deployed in a production car, Callum, who spoke with Autoblog at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday, said, "I don't know when, but we certainly know how to do it." Callum was less forthcoming about how the technology functions, saying, "Oh, I can't tell you (laughs)... it's proximity, mainly." It's not clear whether traditional physical switches mounted on the doors would still be required with such a system. The designer then went on to discuss Jaguar's innovation in proximity-based switchgear – the automaker has already been using the technology for its interior overhead lighting controls and glovebox release. When we asked about any safety concerns that touch-control windows might generate, Callum said, "I think if it's a very specific area, there's absolutely no ambiguity about what you're trying to do – it's fine." Callum knows a thing or two about the need for absolute specificity in this area – when Jaguar introduced its XF sedan with proximity switchgear, it found passengers were accidentally opening their gloveboxes with their knees, which prompted a quick redesign. "It's a whole new genre of disciplines that we have to think about – what is safe," he said. Design/Style Jaguar Technology Luxury 2015 Detroit Auto Show
