Auction description:

Amelia Island
14 March 2015
Lot 190
1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2-Litre Fixed Head Coupe
To be auctioned on Saturday, March 14, 2015
Without Reserve
$90,000 - $125,000

Chassis no. 2R 28321
Engine no. 7R 13232-9
Body no. 4R 24264

This 1970 Series 2 E-Type was purchased new by Edward H. Fickett, a Los Angeles architect, whose work was on the forefront of what is now called "California Modernism." He designed more than 60,000 homes and was responsible for planning and designing approximately 70 residential communities. He was also the architectural advisor to President Eisenhower and a housing consultant to the federal government.

In 1990, Mr. Fickett decided to park the Jaguar in his Beverly Hills garage, and at this time, it had fewer than 12,000 miles on its odometer. The years were kind to the car, with its coachwork and interior still in original condition and accordingly patinated when it was brought into the daylight. It was in this time-warp condition that it was acquired in 2014 and treated to a comprehensive restoration by specialists at Classic Showcase, of Oceanside, California. The car was disassembled and stripped, which revealed scant rust or deterioration. The metal was finished and fitted prior to a complete repaint in Old English White, and then it was wet-sanded and buffed prior to reassembly. All of the brightwork was replated, the instruments were restored, and new rubber seals, grommets, and wiring harnesses were installed. The engine, head, and transmission were completely rebuilt to factory specifications, and the fuel, braking, and electrical systems were renewed, restored, or replaced where necessary. Master upholsterers retrimmed the interior in black leather and correct materials. Currently, the car shows just 100 miles on its odometer since the completion of its restoration, including those accrued during final testing and tuning.

This E-Type Fixed-Head Coupe is equipped with a four-speed transmission, chrome wire wheels, and a period-correct AM/FM cassette radio. It is accompanied by a DVD of the restoration process, and it is reportedly in great running and driving condition. This Jaguar represents a unique opportunity to begin the second chapter of a single-owner motor car's life.
