1969 Jaguar E-type Series II 4.2L
Description
Thousands invested in mechanicals to bring this beauty back to life and now she runs like a champ. New wiring harnesses for main engine compartment and alternator completed in March 2018, with extensive other electrical work performed (condensers, relays, fuses, starter rebuilt) in 2016.
All new OEM belts and hoses, new aluminum radiator by Cool Cats of NJ, new power brake servo, new master/slave clutch cylinders, entirely new exhaust system including shiny new black manifolds and stainless Bell exhaust pipes and mufflers which sound beautiful and gurgle with joy on the downshift.
Mechanical speedometer and dash clock were rebuilt by a recognized expert in Smiths gauges; the clock now works beautifully with a quartz movement for improved accuracy and reliability. Original 4-speed manual gearbox (Gearbox No. 1KE1979) paired with the original 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine (Engine No. of 7R4828-9).
No air conditioning for the perfect analog driving experience free of complications. Upgraded RetroSound stereo head unit with full Bluetooth connectivity and new speakers for period-correct appearance but modern soundtrack for your weekend canyon drives. Original copper radiator and Sanyo stereo cassette head unit (non-operating) have been retained in case the new owner wishes to restore them. All records for the last two-year restoration have been maintained and go with the car to the lucky new owner.Paint has a few superficial bubbles, nicks and scratches.
Typical parking lot door dings on the passenger side. One hard-to-discern concave dent on the nose near the grill opening (likely where a small can of paint or a like heavy/blunt object fell on it while in storage), and less than a foot north of that, one convex dent where someone may have tried to jack the car under the radiator instead of under the frame corner, leaving a mark in the steel.
There appears to be no rust on the car except possibly some superficial surface rust in some crevices. New Hankook whitewall tires on original chrome wire wheels show their age but are still usable and could benefit from re-chroming at some point.
Original spare tire (appears to be unused, with chalk still on the tire) in the boot with tool roll (no jack or knock-off tools, sorry).
Bumpers show well, with some superficial pitting visible upon close inspection. Boot hatch window has received new rubber and chrome trim and is solid and leak-free. Driver's door window received new rubber as well. Remaining rubber along windows and bumpers is intact but aging.
