Original right hand drive V12 Roadster with matching numbers. This E-Type is in excellent condition throughout and drives extremely well.
Mechanical
Mechanically the car is very strong and is a 'jump in and drive anywhere' vehicle. Most mechanical aspects are to original Jaguar specification, except for the steering which has been upgraded to a CMC Sports Rack. This gives much more feel to the steering and makes turn in much more precise, giving the driver much greater confidence. This option alone turns the V12 into a real sports car. Another great upgrade is the SU carburettor conversion. The original Strombergs are fairly useless and only fitted by Jaguar so that the cars would pass the emission controls in California at the time. The SU upgrade improves cold and hot starting, improves fuel economy and performance.
Bodywork
Repainted in its original Azure Blue a few years ago and still looking fantastic. Under bonnet detail is excellent and not far away from that of a totally restored vehicle.
Trim / Exterior
Interior is again very good. Seat covers are original but very good, while the carpets and mohair hood were replaced less than 12 months ago.
