1970 Jaguar E-type Series II Fixedhead Coupé

Some cars need no introduction and the Jaguar E-Type is no exception. The Series II Jaguar E-Types that were produced from 1969 to 1971 can be identified by their open headlights, no longer with glass covers, a wrap-around rear bumper with the tail lights now underneath, and the front indicators were larger and similarly repositioned below the slightly heavier front bumpers. The cooling was much improved helped by the enlarged 'mouth'. Series II cars also feature twin electric fans and uprated brakes. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smoothly polished cam covers to a ribbed appearance.Presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive Jaguar E-type Series II Fixed Head Coupé that was first registered as 'PBN 381H' on 10th February 1970 to its one and only owner, a Mr D. Baxter of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire. The car is finished in Primrose Yellow and has a black leather interior which is in presentable condition.There are numerous bills for maintenance over the years from Gornalls Garage in Hambleton, but one standout invoice for £2,865 dated June 1999 details an engine rebuild which included; new pistons, new main and big-end bearing shells, new timing chain, 6 new valves, and a new oil pump along with a host of other sundry items. Another bill from May 2014 shows the car was fitted with a new set of wire wheels and continental wheels spinners.Having travelled a total of 115,382 miles, this car was clearly loved by Mr Baxter before his passing. 'PBN 381H' is supplied with a raft of invoices, MOT certificates and is a complete car, although it is now in need of a full restoration. That said, the interior is in good shape and it does run and drive and even holds an MOT until 3rd August! However, we would strongly recommend that any potential buyers for this car ensure that it is trailered / transported home and not driven.Supplied with a UK V5c and with Jaguar E-type prices seemingly continue to soar, this one-owner, home market Series II fixed head coupé is ripe for a full restoration - are you the candidate to take it on?
