Comments from the seller

Low km with only 16809 on the clock since rebuild. My 1970 Jaguar E Type is unforgettable in luxury and performance. Total body of rebuild in Australia many pictures showing the work. Has a rare Jaguar hard top, which makes the car very attractive. Unknown number of owners prior to rebuild. The car is one of the finest examples you will find. One owner after rebuild myself. I recently fitted new clutch and water pump. Used only in local car club hence Heritage plates. The car was originally purchased in the USA and shipped to Australia in 2005. The next ten years it was restored including being changed to right hand drive. Every part on the car was restored or replaced, ending up with an immaculate vehicle like the day it left the showroom. I purchased it five years ago from the owner who was a friend, along with all the restoration photos. Mechanically all restored or replaced as well. This is an exceptional e-type and in very good condition and goes like the original car and sounds even better. with a straight through exhaust. The reason for selling is that my wife has many sun problems and driving with the hood down causes more problems. We only live in Australia in the summer when the sun is unavoidable.
