Car has a buy it now price of $37,500 for 29 days, seller kurttannermotorcars, 24k miles.

Seller's description:
Offered for sale, from KURT TANNER MOTORCARS, is this amazingly original E-type two-seater coupe. This car has a believed 24,934 miles from new and was last registered for road use in Pennsylvania in March of 1978. Not much is known past that date except it was stored long term in a private car collection until recently.
The body on this car is in very good condition, hardly showing any rust. Door and trunk hatch fit are excellent. At first glance, the car's paintwork appears convincingly original. Upon close inspection, it may have had an additional thin "blow over" but very early in it's life, sometimes by the selling dealer or even by the factory. Nevertheless, it has a very original feel and look about it and should be saved going forward in this car's life.
The car's interior is entirely original and in very good to excellent overall condition. It's largely undisturbed and wonderfully correct and unmolested, even the carpets, headliner, dash top pad, seat leather, etc. The car still retains all of it's original Triplex glass and the surrounding rubber seals in decent shape. Chrome is very good to excellent on most all pieces.
Mechanically, the car would at least need a complete recommissioning to the braking and fuel systems. We haven't tried much, but the engine is currently in a stuck position from sitting. It may free up with the spark plugs removed and penetrating oils applied to the cylinder bores, with some patience. Usually it's just one stubborn piston that needs the most help to free up. The car still retains 3 of it's original factory-fitted Dunlop tires...
Overall, this lovely original low-mileage Jaguar Coupe has not seen much use or mileage in it's life and would benefit from some simple mechanical work. It should then enjoy life in it's current, well-preserved "survivor" condition and would be an interesting and attractive addition to any car collection.
