Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful 1970 Jaguar XKE Roadster with Factory Air and Hardtop!

We are proud to offer this very nice Series 2 XKE Roadster for your consideration. We've been British car guys for over thirty years and when we have an opportunity to buy a Jag Roadster like this, we get the checkbook moving. When we see Factory Air, Factory Hardtop and low miles our Jag radar goes a little nuts. This is a good one….

First let's talk about 45K original miles and one very nice repaint years ago in the correct and original Primrose Yellow. We'd call the repaint very nice and rate it as a driver plus plus quality today. Our understanding is that the paint was done over 10 years ago and it presents today as a quality job. There are a couple paint defects present but nothing that deters from the great look of this EType. The finish is consistent, holds a great shine and based on its age was done over a very properly prepared body. All of the chrome is original and in very nice condition.

Sporting its original, born with, numbers matching engine this Jag is a very nice performer. Lots of folks say these Series 2 ETypes are the best driving of the entire XKE series and after driving this one we'd tend to agree. The engine pulls strong, the trans is spot on and the car tracks and stops just as one would expect. The engine compartment is tidy and original. The data plate, front picture frame and engine block all have their correct numbers exactly where they are supposed to be.

The interior of this roadster is one hundred percent original and shows the patina of a 50-year-old leather interior. We love it as it is- some would say restore it, some would say dye it, some would say leave it alone. We are in the third camp but will leave that choice to the next caretaker. Please look at the photos and ask yourself, when have you ever seen an original interior in an XKE roadster that looks like this?

Underneath this car is super straight and super solid and not all patched up like so many of these roadsters. Original metal tells a great tale that this car has been cared for its entire life. It's our opinion that this old girl has never had any significant rust.

If you're going to own one you may as well own one with the most factory equipment you can get- the hardtop gives this car a totally different look and the air conditioning is rare and a nice option for you folks out there who don't have to worry about snow 5 months a year like we do.

Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.

We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold our first classic and we haven't paid the money yet…. We pride ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
