Sellers description:
Practical, usable, and still gorgeous after nearly 50 years, this '71 will give you all the Jaguar fun without the price tag. Given most Jaguars' propensity to rust in the most demonic ways possible, it's always a smart idea to buy the most rust-free example you can find. This one has obviously spent its entire life someplace where snowfall never happens, and all the critical areas like the foot boxes, floors, and cowl structure are all solid. The bright white finish is unusual on an E-Type, but combined with the lovely tan leather interior, it's a classic combination that looks as right as tennis whites at the country club. The massive forward-tilting hood fits as it should, with good panel alignment on the doors and rear hatch as well. It's obvious that someone has spent quite a bit of money on this car, and no matter what the color, it will always be the center of attention. The 2+2 body style was a late addition to the roster, aimed at making the Jag more practical for American tastes, and it works. While the back seat is best reserved for children or some of your smaller friends, storage space is cavernous, and there are few long-distance touring cars better than this V12 cat, so pack it up and head for the coast. The seats are nicely stitched with a handsome patina on the leather that reminds you of your favorite jacket, and the carpets appear fairly recent. The instrument panel and gauges seem to be original, and it's clear that some TLC went into ensuring that things work properly. The slender shifter for the GM-sourced 3-speed automatic is uniquely Jaguar, and Series III perks include powerful A/C and a decent stereo. The 5.3 liter V12 was introduced in 1971 as the answer for torque-hungry American roads, and it fits the bill superbly. It turns the E-Type into an effortless cruiser, capable of running all day at triple-digit speeds, yet perfectly happy to idle in rush-hour traffic. The plumbing for the carburetors is artwork all by itself, and everything under-hood shows signs of conscientious maintenance. Thanks to an all-new stainless steel exhaust system, it has the most spine-tingling exhaust note this side of a Ferrari. The independent suspension offers that combination of crisp handling with a smooth ride that somehow only Jaguar was able to master, and you'll often find yourself hustling this car faster than you thought. Four-wheel discs are standard equipment, of course, and this one has recently been fitted with gorgeous chrome wire wheels and 205/70/15 radials, with the original steel wheels included.

Can you please send me a photo of the "Builders Plate" and advise what are matching numbers for
1. car no. 1S70753BW
2. body no 4S50893
3. engine no. and
4. gearbox no. 11264

Is the Borg Warner transmission the original transmission; if not do you know why it was changed?

Are there any issues with this car?
