Sellers description:

Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this very good Series Two Roadster for straightforward improvement. This car has very low original miles and has had only one repaint in it's current Primrose Yellow over it's original Carmen Red. The trim is mostly original. It has spent most of it's life indoors in a Midwest car collection. The body is excellent, being totally accident-free and rustfree, save for a few rust minor lines in the dipped floor sections. It was manufactured in November of 1969 and sold as a 1970 year model.
As seen by the photos, the body gaps on this car are very good. The bonnet has been mounted on the car for shipping purposes. All the panels open and close well. There are a few dings and dents. The trunk pops open with no broken holding springs. The car presents well but has older paint. The trunk area/boot floor are perfect. It comes with lots of asssociated parts for the car that are pictured. The previous owner applied a dark brown chip guard to the rocker panels, but they are absolutely solid, original, and rustfree.
The radiator, steering rack, and A/C compressor have been removed for servicing, but are present. The car's engine runs on a fresh battery and gravity-fed fuel. There are no noises, no smoke, and a healthy tickover with 30-40lbs oil pressure. The exhaust system was replaced at one time and is very nice and quiet, in great condition. A brake and fuel system service is required to make it a driver. The car has it's matching number engine that appears to have never been removed from the car. There is evidence of the original red paint on the front subframes. The engine bay is very clean and would detail up nicely.
The car's existing interior is the original. A replacement black top was fitted at some point which is in decent condition. Most of the original dashboard would respond well to a detail, with a nice steering, switches, and gauges .
The car's underside is very solid and looks normal for the car's mileage.
Overall, this solid, clean, low mileage Jaguar is the perfect car for simple, straightforward improvement. It left the factory in a desirable color scheme loaded with most options. It has spent an easy life garaged with very little use and is a fantastic opportunity to secure an open 6-cylinder E-type needing some minor mechanicals and a light refreshing of it's cosmetics.
