Vehicle: | 1970 Jaguar E-type Series II 4.2 convertible |
On 26 April 1997, at the Christies Tarrytown auction, SN4R7581 sold for $57,500. This is a price not seen since the late ’80s for an SII roadster.
Hampered stylistically by open headlights and clumsy U.S.-legal tail lights, and forced to endure the indignity of power-sapping Stromberg carburetors, SIIs will always lag behind SIs in price. However, given the quality of the automobile, this car was well bought. – ED.
