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.

    Bloodhound SSC makes its speed-ready debut in London

    Fri, Sep 25 2015

    Bloodhound SSC, the 1,000-mph land speed record contender, broke cover this week in Canary Wharf, London, in the heart of the Docklands financial district. "This is the best of British engineering meets the best of British banking," quipped Philip Dunne, MP, minister of state for defense procurement, which has provided backing for the team in terms of Army and Royal Air Force personnel and equipment. The team announced that Bloodhound will do its first test runs in Newquay, Cornwall, next spring before traveling to Hakskeen Pan in northwest South Africa in the fall. There, on October 15, 2016, it will make its first attempt on the land speed record, which currently stands at 763.035 miles per hour. That speed was set by Thrust SSC in the Black Rock desert on October 15, 1997 by Bloodhound's driver, Andy Green. Nineteen years later to the day, Green will be shooting for a speed over 800 mph. Over 8,000 people will come to Canary Wharf to see this extraordinary jet- and rocket-powered car over the next couple of days. This is the first-ever viewing of the machine in assembled form. The right-hand side is fully dressed in desert spec, complete with forged aluminum wheels and aerodynamics. The left-hand side is in 'naked' Newquay test spec, with panels removed for easy access and the whole thing riding on rubber tires that can run on tarmac. First impressions are of a big yet muscular car simply crammed with engines, jets, and rockets. The most recognizable thing, apart from the seven fire extinguishers, is the Jaguar AJ133 5.0-liter V8, lifted from an F-Type, which will run the fuel pumps that deliver over 211 gallons of high-test peroxide over the rocket motor's 20-second burn time. The EJ200 Typhoon military jet engine occupies the top floor and provides nine tons of thrust, and underneath is the single Nammo rocket motor providing an additional four tons. "When we go for 1,000 mph, we'll need another two rocket motors," says Mark Chapman, Bloodhound's chief engineer. "That total additional eight tons of thrust is what we'll need to get from 800 to 1,000 mph." He explains that the rear of the car will have to be redesigned to accommodate the two additional rocket motors, and the suspension might have to be adapted with longitudinal rear spring units like the fronts. There are still unknowns in the project, such as the area of vacuum that will follow the car several meters behind.

    2014 Jaguar XJR unleashed just ahead of New York show [w/video]

    Tue, 26 Mar 2013

    Just a week after teasing us with the first image of the car, and mere hours before revealing it to the public at the New York Auto Show, Jaguar has pulled the wraps off of its 2014 XJR super sedan.
    The British automaker has confirmed that the XJR will be kicking out a full 550-horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 5.0-liter V8, affording the sedan a 0-60 mile per hour sprint of 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 174 miles per hour. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission will still allow for respectable fuel economy, as Jag estimates ratings of 15 miles per gallon city and 23 highway.
    Newly tuned dampers and stiffer spring rates, along with an electronically controlled differential should ensure that the massive power of the engine isn't wasted in transition to the road. Jaguar has also tweaked steering software and hydraulics, with the goal of increased road feel, response and overall feedback. 20-inch signature wheels carry wide Pirelli rubber (265-section up front, 295 in back) to keep the XJR planted.

    Jaguar's XFR-S Sportbrake looks to be one hot kinschlepper

    Tue, 23 Jul 2013

    This is the Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, which is too cool for North American sale (the Sportbrake, not the XFR-S sedan, which we're getting soon). Like the XFR-S four-door, it has a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 pumping out around 550 horsepower.
    Our spy photographer's x-ray vision is saying that a ZF eight-speed automatic will be the gearbox of choice for the XFR-S wagon, which fits with the sedan, as well. The Sportbrake also has the usual high-performance touches, with huge air intakes in the front fascia, big wheels wrapped in low-profile tires, a dropped suspension and a rear end that's wearing a diffuser and a pair of meaty, quad exhausts. We're happy to see that the XFR-S Sedan's rear spoiler - or some iteration thereof - isn't here to mangle the Sportbrake's beautiful shape.
    Where the this super-fast hauler will debut remains a question. There's virtually zero chance of it arriving at an American auto show (although we do endorse that, and any other decision that brings this wagon to our shores), which likely means it'll be in Europe. The Frankfurt Motor Show and Geneva Motor Show seem like the leading contenders, but we'll just have to wait and see.
