Matching number OTS, Triple Carb, original hardtop included, rare color,

I have owned this e-type for the last ten years. Never restored, just lovingly maintained since new. I looked a long time before finding one that had not suffered amateur restoration work, or been neglected as so many of these cars have. If you have been looking for an e-type you know that so many of them don't run right, don't sit right, etc. This car is driven on nice days but looks so much better than the majority of e-types you will find and has the correct stance.
This car was in the same family from new until approx 2006, I purchased it in 2007. The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows it was delivered new in Utah and verifies the numbers matching engine, body and gearbox. It had a respray in the early 90's in its original and rare color of Daimler Silver Gray. The respray was a very high quality as even today, except for a few stone chips, it shines with no orange peel, etc and looks great. The European spec triple SU carb set up was installed in the early 90's when they were still affordable. I'm not sure anyone would want to but the original dual carb, manifold and crossover pipe are included in the sale.Another increasingly hard to get item is the original removable hardtop. I had this resprayed about 8 years ago in the original black and had some of the exterior chrome replated. The interior leather looks great without damage but with a nice patina. In case the pictures don't show it correctly, the interior color is a slightly darker red, not the bright fire-engine color that some other years have.The mileage is exempt for age but the previous bill of sale in 2006 shows a little over 60,000 and it now has just over 66,000 miles which are believed correct.Tires were changed in 2012 to the correct Dunlop sport and sit on the great looking wire wheels. mileage on the tires is about 3,000.The car has a 60's moto-lita steering wheel on it but the original steering wheel is included.Original jack, owners manual and lubrication chart is also included.I'm happy to answer any questions and supply additional pictures if you need them.The vehicle is available for inspection in Roselle, IL which is about 30 minutes from O'hare airport.

I have a couple videos of a cold start and the car running, but don't know how to attach them to my auction. If you're interested I can e-mail them to you
