Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, Pioneer cassette. Restored like new, with good cosmetics. No number on cylinder head, some thin chrome and showing some age but still an exceptional E type.
Market commentary
If this result is any indication, the long neglected Series II must finally be recognized as the well built (by Jag standards) good driving car that it is. This is a simply HUGE price for a Series II, even if it were the best in the world, which this is not. The buyer raised his final bid by $2,500 on the block to make this deal work, so this was no idle decision.
