1970 Jaguar E-Type 
Series II Roadster

A Classic Showcase Restoration

About the Jaguar and its restoration

Now completed and undergoing final test-mile sorting, this original, numbers-matching 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster has emerged from a comprehensive Show-Driver Level rotisserie restoration performed by the craftsmen at Classic Showcase. Representing one of the final examples of Jaguar's legendary six-cylinder E-Type, the Roadster showed 76,460 miles prior to restoration and provided an excellent foundation for the project. Finished in a striking Triple Black combination—with a sleek Black exterior, a correctly tailored Black leather interior, and matching Black trim—the completed Jaguar presents a purposeful, timeless appearance while remaining faithful to the character and design of the Series 2 E-Type.

The restoration began with the body stripped to bare metal and mounted on a rotisserie, where it was carefully metal-finished and lead work was performed where required. Throughout the process, close attention was given to body fit, panel alignment, and overall presentation, while every major component was restored, refinished, or replaced as needed. Mechanically, the matching-numbers engine was fully rebuilt to factory specifications, and the suspension, braking, cooling, fuel, hydraulic, and electrical systems were restored or refurbished as part of the comprehensive project. The interior was completed by our in-house Master Trimmer using the correct materials and finishes, resulting in a beautifully tailored Black leather cabin that complements the exterior while preserving the E-Type's original character. With the major restoration work now complete, our team is concentrating on final road testing, adjustments, and sorting before delivery. Whether enjoyed on scenic drives or displayed at regional concours events, this striking Series 2 Roadster combines the presentation, authenticity, and craftsmanship that have defined Classic Showcase restorations for nearly four decades. A comprehensive MP4 pictorial presentation documenting the restoration accompanies the Jaguar, providing a lasting record of the work performed throughout the project.
