Back in 2003, I found an affordable E-Type. It's a 1971 Series 3 2+2 coupe, which is on the cheap end of the XKEs. but it has the V-12 that I always wanted and I like coupes.

I bought it from a missile guidance specialist that worked for NASA and he gave me a meticulous litany of every aspect of the car. He took it down to bare metal and gave a 100% guarantee that it was rust free. So far, I've seen nothing to lead me to believe otherwise.

It's a solid car and I now have the income to get everything up to snuff and get her on the road the way that she should be. should make for a delightful Summer.

Here is the pertinent data.
1971 Series III 2+2 E-Type.
Old English White exterior with red interior.
XKE Data - 1S70539 - Jaguar E-Type (XKE) information, articles, photos and register

 

After owning your car for 10 years you're doubtless *Very* familiar with all its aspects. Probably there are few surprises left for you to discover. Congratulations on your long term relationship.
