1970 Jaguar XKE Series 2 OTS (Convertible) - NO RESERVE

1970 Jaguar E-Type XKE Description

Opportunity of a lifetime to procure this excellent driving Jaguar XKE S2 OTS from a caring private owner/mechanical engineer. I have owned this car since 1999. The car was purchased from BRITE Voice Company in Orlando FL. The car was sourced by the CEO and Jag enthusiast for use in an advertisement campaign.Itsatinside a Class-A office building'sair conditioned conferenceroomduring the 1990s, rior to my acquisition. Car panelstight and hasnever seenan accident. Car has NO RUST. In 1999 there was a small rust spotfixed immediatelyand the car as since neverdriven rain and is always garaged. Yes car has original motor, ranny, ear end, tc. This is a nice unmolested car. Probably 74,000 original miles. Also drive shafts where gone thru and all drive joints / ball joints / strut shocks replaced. This is a really really nice driver jag.

This is a car to drive whilst maintaining show car potential. I searched for many years to find this car. It is a clean S2 with the right options (a/c, s, onvertible, ardi steering wheel, elescopic steering wheel, ritish racing green (original willow green) and tan (biscuit) interior!!) The series II has the upgraded cooling system with dual electric fans and bigger calipers over the series 1. While not as pure as the Series I cars, eries II cars are more user-friendly with options on this car like power steering and A/C (Blows very COLD with upgraded compressor but original compressor in a box). No radio installed, lock doesn't work. Nice glass and really nice chrome trim/wire wheels. Always starts, olid car no slow battery leaks etc.

Here is most of what has been accomplished to the car over my ownership:

Engine rebuilt by the very competent Erwin Schwartz ( http://www.schwarzltd.com/ )

30 over, pecial pistons, ard setted values (can use unleaded)

New Clutch~ 1,000 miles on rebuilt motor/clutch

New fuel lines, as tank, umpand filters

Rebuilt carbs

Reworked brakes

Engine bay painted in industrial grade PPG paint (resists even hydraulic fluid)

New radiator

Fan shroud repainted in correct crinkle black

Rust in lower panel cut out and welded replacement metal

THIS IS IMPORTANT - Correct Pirelli P4000 tires for jag.

New ignition, oses, eat shield, mall stuff, tc.

The car’s paint and interior are decent. There is some paint cracking on bonnet nose (no rust or putty). A chip and nick here and there. There is a small tear in the top. The emergency brake is weak. Nothing to serious. This is a great driving car and the ultimate classic. There were only 7,852 S2 LHD OTS (Convertibles) built between 1968-1971. Not sure how many are left out there but I can testify this machine is reliable and a pleasure to drive. It is automotive art and the ultimate sports car classic.
