Sellers description:
WE TOOK THIS VEHICLE IN AS A TRADE IN TOWARDS A JAGUAR XK8. THE GENTLEMAN WHO PREVIOUSLY OWNED THE CAR LIVED IN OKLAHOMA. HE INFORMED US THAT THIS 1970 SERIES II SIGNAL RED ROADSTER WAS ORIGINALLY A MASSACHUSETTS CAR FROM NEW. THE SECOND OWNER WHO WAS A FRIEND OF HIS WAS ALSO FROM MASSACHUSETTS WHO BOUGHT THE CAR IN THE LATE SEVENTIES AND TOOK CARE OF THE CAR UP UNTIL THE EARLY NINETIES WHERE THE GENTLEMAN WHO TRADED IT IN TO US CONTINUED TO TAKE CAR OF IT SINCE.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:
THIS IS A WELL KEPT AND PARTIALLY RESTORED CAR WITH NEW FLOORS AND PAINT, THE PREVIOUS OWNER INFORMED US THE ENGINE WAS TAKEN OUT AND REBUILT AT SOME POINT OVER THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS SO THE CAR RUNS REALLY STRONG! HE ALSO TOLD US THAT THE INTERIOR KIT IS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD. IT SHOWS VERY MINIMAL SIGNS OF WEAR AND LOOKS GREAT IN BLACK BECAUSE IT MATCHES THE BLACK CONVERTIBLE TOP.

SIGNAL RED WITH BLACK IS ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE COLOR COMBINATIONS FOR THE E-TYPE ROADSTER. IT HAS A NEWER CONVERTIBLE TOP IN CLOTH WHICH LOOKS MUCH NICER THEN THE ORIGINAL VINYL ONE. AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL ALL THE CHROME LOOKS ORIGINAL AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT IS NOT PERFECT.

IT HAS THE COMPLETE NEWER INTERIOR KIT AS MENTIONED,
THAT ALSO INCLUDES NEWER RUGS AND REAR HANDURA. BOTH DOOR PANELS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND ARE FINE TO LEAVE JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. THE DASH PAD IS FINE AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN REALLY NICE CONDITION TOO, BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME VERY SMALL CRACKS ON THE "E-TYPE" HORN BUTTON (SEE PICTURE). THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SUPER SMOOTH THROUGHOUT ALL THE GEARS,UP AND DOWN. IT HAS VERY GOOD ALMOST NEW CONDITION WIRE WHEELS WITH ALMOST NEW YOKAHAMA TIRES.

IT IS MISSING THREE PLASTIC AIR CONDITION VENTS WHICH IS VERY TYPICAL BUT WE DO HAVE THE PIECES AND WILL PUT BACK TOGETHER FOR YOU. THIS IS A VERY COLLECTIBLE AUTOMOBILE. ESPECIALLY BEING A 4 SPEED WITH AIR. THE A/C MAKES THE CAR WORTH MORE BECAUSE IT IS SOUGHT OUT MORE BY COLLECTORS THEN ONE WITHOUT A/C. HOWEVER THE AIR CONDITION IN E-TYPES NEVER REALLY WORKED ALL THAT WELL TO BEGIN WITH AND ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM IS INTACT, EXCEPT FOR A FANBELT , WE DID NOT CHARGE OR CHECK IT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH IT’S OPERATION BECAUSE THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT WILL MOSTLY BE DRIVEN WITH THE TOP DOWN!!

THIS PARTICULAR CAR WAS NOT RESTORED BY US SO IT IS NOT A "NEAR PERFECT" CONDITION VEHICLE NOR ARE WE SEEKING NEAR PERFECT MONEY FOR IT! IT HAS A SMALL BLEMISH IN THE PAINT ON THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER THAT HAS BEEN RETOUCHED (SEE PICTURE), THE WINDSHIELD IS SHOWING SOME SLIGHT DELAMINATION ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHICH IS VERY TYPICAL BUT IT IS ONLY A VERY SMALL SECTION (SEE PICTURE). THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A NEW STYLE SWITCH. UNDERNEATH ON THE LOWER PART OF THE BONNET THERE ARE TWO GOOD SIZED DENTS ON BOTH SIDES FROM DRIVING UP ON A CEMENT PARKING LOT "STOPPER". HOWEVER THEY ARE VERY HARD TO SEE BECAUSE THEY ARE DOWN SO LOW.

WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO THE VEHICLE:
WE REMOVED THE REAR ASSEMBLY AND CLEANED IT. WE REBUILT THE REAR BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKE CALIPERS. WE INSTALLED STAINLESS REAR PISTONS AND NEW SEALS WITH THE CORRECT HARDWARE. WE CHECKED THE DIFFERENTIAL SEALS AND DID A QUICK REFINISH AND DETAIL TO THE REAR SUSPENSION CARRIER. WE ALSO INSTALLED A COMPLETE STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST FROM FRONT TO BACK INCLUDING NEW STAINLESS RESONATORS AND HARDWARE.

I purchased this car in July 2012. An older restoration that still drives and looks great.
