Jaguar E Type 1970 4.2VERY ORIGINAL NOT MANY LIKE THIS

he has owned this for about a year, and but real wanted a 140 or a drophead E type so he went and bought them both, with another 2 classics( mg & riley) this one has to go!!
it was owned by a gent who for 30 years pampered this hence its overall condition and other than a documented bare metal respray years ago it has only had its drivers floor mat replaced and of course general maintainence
THIS IS NOT ONE OF THE MANY RESTORED CARS (very nice as they are)
it is the real deal
when i first found this car it was covered over with all its doors ajar so as not to stress the rubbers the rear subframe still had the factory cad plating on all of the fixings and when i started it he insisted on driving until hot before re packing it !! PAMPERED IS THE CORRECT DISCRIPTION
now it needs a new home so please call for more

I will attempt to give a rating for this car noting this is a 38 year old car and not a restored creation



the body & paintwork is straight and very good with only 2 or 3 chips on the nose as stated before it was repainted many years ago and a fair job was done 8/10

the interior is also an 8/10 with every thing as its supposed to be  the drivers seat has just had 2 panels replaced because of cracks ( i personally would have left it as it looked in keeping with a non restored car but hey ! im only listing it )
the leather is supple and has very slight cracks like leather should look  carpets very good  the only thing that is out of place is the clutch pedal rubber that he has packed out to make it easer for him to select gears  there is nothing missing and all works .
the cassette player
the tool roll is there along with all the spare wheel tools 

MECHANICALLY
 motor has good oil pressure  uses no water and oil consumption is normal  gearbox quiet syncros good  drive train has only a small clunk not unusual  rear diff also quiet
brakes good and steering positive overall  7/10

wire wheels  all spokes ring and chrome good  spinners not great 7/10
