1970 | Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type : one of the most beautiful cars ever made, and for that reason on the wishlist of many classic car enthusiasts. No wonder, because it looks like nothing else on the road, and it drives as good as it looks. Early E-types are now becoming very expensive, and it looks like the continuous appreciation is not over yet. For that reason, the previously less sought after Series II and Series III V12 cars are now following in the footsteps of the Series 1. No wonder, because these later cars offer almost similar beauty in combination with a more comfortable driving experience.

This matching nrs example was delivered new in September 1970 in the USA. It has a factory power steering , which is a very rare but interesting optional equipment. This sensible improvement turns the E-Type in a more accessible classic car for many, and works so much better then an aftermarket electrical power steering. The car was imported into Belgium in 2006, and stored for a couple of years to be restored. This restoration started in Belgium in 2012, and was finished in 2016. The quality of the restoration is from a very high level. The colour combination works very well on this Jaguar model. Panel fit and paint finish is just as it should be. The car comes with a rich documentation. Plenty of history and invoices confirm the car enjoyed the best care. The Jaguar Heritage certificate teaches us the car was new delivered in Pale Primrose yellow over a black leather interior. Engine and gearbox are matching.

If you want an E-Type roadster, ready to use and gorgeous to look at, then this example is worth your attention. There are very few Series II cars on the market which are this thoroughly restored, and in this colour combination it is a first-class headturner. Just waiting for the upcoming summer now...
