Equipment
Centerlock wire wheels, Vredestein tires, beige cloth boot cover, dual mirrors, woodrim steering wheel, aftermarket stereo, factory air conditioning.
Condition
Fully documented ownership history. JDHT Certificate. Represented as a JCNA concours North American champion. Very good paint and chrome, but the headlight gaskets are a little wavy. Small touch up at the back of the passenger's door. Some light wear to the original switchgear and cracking to the steering wheel cap but mostly good restored interior. Lightly run but recently cleaned up engine bay. Not without fault, but for the most part this is a Series II given the kind of treatment usually reserved for more valuable Series I cars.
Market commentary
Sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale in 2001 for $26,460, then sold at Worldwide Houston in 2011 for $66,000, for $57,500 at Mecum Monterey in 2012 and for $42,120 at Mecum Chicago in 2014. These results are kind of all over the place and not indicative of the greater SII E-Type market, which grew in a big way during 2014 and has since flattened. This result was strong but not excessive and it is a Jag to be proud to own.
