1970 Jaguar XKE E Type Series 2 OTS One Owner Original Paint Cotswold Blue I am pleased to offer this very original 1970 Jaguar XKE E Type OTS. The car is an beautiful time capsule back to 1970 with original paint, original interior etc. and just 28,979 +/- original miles. It is technically a one owner car since the current owner (second) has an open title in the original owner's name. The original owner owned the car for 47 years and the current owner purchased the car in January of 2017. It has the original Cotswold blue paint w/ Navy blue leather interior, Navy blue carpeting, and a black convertible top. It came from Lafayette, IN and spent its 47 winters in a heated warehouse.

The panel under the front bumper has a "divot" and there is also a scratch, not dent, on the front bonnet and one on the RF fender. Chrome is excellent except for the middle section of the front bumper which is dented and the center section of the rear bumper which has one tiny ding (both bumpers are in 3 sections). Seats show normal age cracks but are not torn. I just spent over $3000 having the brakes re-done with a new master cylinder, brake servo cylinder, hoses, the system flushed and the brake fluid replaced w/ Castrol Silicone DOT 4 fluid. I also had the carbs rebuilt and a new fuel pump, temperature sending unit, spark plugs, and air filter installed. Photos 1970 Jaguar XKE E Type Series 2 OTS One Owner Original Paint Cotswold Blue
