This is a stunning concours quality 1971 Jaguar Series II E-Type OTS roadster that has benefitted from a no expense spared restoration. With a total investment in excess of $410,000, this Jaguar is spectacular.
The restoration started with a solid, nice original example that had 63,000 miles since new. The Jaguars long-time owner was James Karber from Mina, South Dakota, was acquired specifically because of the elegant and stunning Dark Blue exterior and Red leather interior.
The restoration was completed in 2015 by Doctor Jag Technologies in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The parts alone cost in excess of $102,000, documented with numerous pages of single-spaced lines of accounting detail. The stack of receipts is literally inches thick. The labor value was $308,000 for the 2,800 hours the craftsmen and engineers spent rebuilding this incredible roadster. This is part of a 70-car collection, including 26 Jaguars.
This E-Type has been beautifully finished in Dark Blue and has the chrome wire wheels, giving it a spectacular look. The paint, chrome and all the finish work are all in excellent condition. This is ready to be competitive at concours events. It is believed to have had the badges behind the bonnet deleted when new.
The gorgeous red leather interior and carpeting is all new and without fault. New Jaguar branded seatbelts have been installed and everything in the interior is as-new. The dash, instruments and door panels are also either new or restored. Everything works as it should.
The heart of this particular E-Type is what lies beneath the bonnet. The engine pulls strong and operates perfectly. We noted no modifications, the restoration was performed to bring it back to its original glory. This numbers matching motorcar comes with its original data plate, receipts and records of the restoration and the Historical Society certificate.
An independent inspection was conducted and the report is available for your review. It confirms the pristine condition of this roadster, as you would expect with a fresh restoration. If you are interested in acquiring the ultimate E-Type that is essentially as-new or better than new, this may be your motorcar.
