The panel under the front bumper has a "divot" and there is also a scratch, not dent, on the front bonnet and one on the RF fender. Chrome is excellent except for the middle section of the front bumper which is dented and the center section of the rear bumper which has one tiny ding (both bumpers are in 3 sections). Seats show normal age cracks but are not torn. I just spent over $3000 having the brakes re-done with a new master cylinder, brake servo cylinder, hoses, the system flushed and the brake fluid replaced w/ Castrol Silicone DOT 4 fluid. I also had the carbs rebuilt and a new fuel pump, temperature sending unit, spark plugs, and air filter installed.Photos 1970 Jaguar XKE E Type Series 2 OTS One Owner Original Paint Cotswold Blue The car runs strong and is ready to drive.
