Sellers comment:
1964 JAGUAR E TYPE ROADSTER, 3.8 LITER, BLACK PLATE CALIFORNIA CAR, THIS IS A TWO OWNER CAR OUT OF PALM SPRINGS, IT HAS BEEN IN STORAGE THERE FOR 18 YEARS, THIS CAR IS RUNNING AND DRIVING, IT HAS JUST HAD NEW MUFFLERS FITTED, AND A RECENT MINOR TUNE UP, THE CLUTCH, AND BRAKES ARE FINE, THE STEERING ALSO, BUT IT DOES NEED A BUSHING IN THE TOP OF THE STEERING COLUMN, IT IS A LITTLE SLOPPY, THIS IS A MATCHING NUMBER CAR, EVEN THE PICTURE FRAME NUMBERS MATCH, MOST HAVE BEEN REPLACED BECAUSE OF ACCIDENT DAMAGE, THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY NICE, NO RUST, AND THE TRUNK STILL HAS THE UNDERSIDE JOIN LINES, USUALLY THESE ARE FILLED WITH BONDO, THE CARPETS ARE OLD, AND THE SEATS ARE VINYL, THE DOOR PANELS ARE ORIGINAL, THE DASH STILL HAS THE OLD PERIOD BLAUPUNKT RADIO, THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR, NOR IS IT PERFECT, BUT IT IS A NUMBERS MATCHING RUST FREE E TYPE ROADSTER, THAT NEEDS A FAIRLY EASY RESTORATION, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL HAVE A VERY HIGH DOLLAR CAR, THESE CARS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND, ESPECIALLY CALIFORNIA BLACK PLATE CARS.
