Unfortunately for Jaguar, SA regulations during the early 1970’s dictated 5 MPH impact bumpers and a series of emission control equipment. These cars werenever designed with those requirements in mind and to meet regulations compromises had to be made. In 1974 that meant very ugly rubber bumpers andcomplex emission add-ons that both reduced engine power and increased the running temperature. In Europe the e-type continued to be made with its originalsmall bumpers and without the emission add-ons. This car has been returned to the specifications its designers intended. Gone are the ugly bumpers and thecomplexity of the emission system.
This car looks and drives excellent! The paint is very nice with straight paints and a deep luster. There are a few paint stress cracks near the gas and trunk lids.Personally I would leave them as is. Wire wheels are as new and so are the tires. Interior and canvas soft top were replaced a few years ago and are still in excellentcondition. The car has air conditioner which works well. Clock works.
The car has automatic transmission which I really like on the V12 e-type. I generally prefer manual shift cars but for the V12 e-type I make an exception. I haveowned several manual shift V12 e-type and find the automatics better cars to drive. Don’t believe me …. just drive this e-type and you will be convinced.
Included is the spare tire, ack in its bag, oot cover (for when the soft top is down), wner's manual, ervice manual and receipts. Aldoincludedis the original steering wheel which i will be glad to install if your prefer it over the wood steering wheel. In any case you will get both steering wheels.
I have additional photos available.
