Hey Oppo, I am about to wring some necks at work. Or maybe light the sucker up and walk away like a bad ass before it explodes with out turning around. So if your feeling like being unproductive at the moment, share your cheapest local E-Type Roadster for sale so i can bask in its glory and dream up terrible terrible ideas.

1974 Jaguar XKE V12 Roadster $36,500

I need more convincing on doing a terrible terrible idea.

Partly restored E-type for $22,500. Oh, and it has quad exhaust for some reason..

Not a convertible though. This, however, is a local E-type convertible. Now guess how much they want for it.

Yes, that’s right. €60k. Laughable.

I believe the quad exhaust is a factory thing. That is a very awesome shop!!

That’s a lot, but it is a series 1 coupe

These are the same guys who sell rust for a minimum of $10k. While this car is restorable, it’s not a $36k car as it sits.

Now you are talking. That’s a family car right there.

That’s actually a S1.5 2+2. Headlights appear to be uncovered, and the indicators are above the bumper. Lots of money for that car. I’d buy a scow FHC/roadster instead of the world’s nicest 2+2.

That is a stock outlet on V12 series 3 cars.

This is being parted out near me. Apparently they finished with the sawzall, fitted the wheel, then just said “Fuck this” and started parting it out.

OMG!! Poor car. That’s so sad

McMike > That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms 11/18/2016 at 15:14

You’re right.

2+2's are the least desirable of the E-Types. The only thing that car has going for it is that it’s not a series 2 2+2.

Oh you’re right, I was only looking at the tail lights, but I didn’t see the uncovered fronts. Yes that is a 1.5.

Exactly!! That’s why I want that series 3 so badly!

That’s a series 3 2+2. Probably worth more in parts than it is whole.

Sad.

Yeah, classic car prices are stupid. I bet I could talk them down, but I don’t have the money at the moment to talk them down to.... So really I am just here to hurt myself with things I can’t afford or have

The roadster is the best S3. You can do this with it:

Bob Tullius was some crazy kind of maniac back then.

Yep. My uncle has a S1.5 2+2 auto that I could pickup for a song, but I just don’t want it. It’s like ordering a Coke and you get a Diet Coke...yeah it’s a Coke but who gives a fuck?

I think a home built Light weight series 3 would be super cool.

McMike > That Bastard Kurtis - An Attempt to Standardize My Username Across Platforms 11/18/2016 at 15:32

Anything complete/running that’s under $30K is a 2+2.

True statement. A 2+2 is juuuuust enough of a bastard that I’d rather have no E Type instead of a 2+2.

I emailed them my offer

Also the fact that the Automatic would only fit in the longer wheelbase cars (2+2 and both Series3 cars).

There is no such thing as a auto series 1 or 1 convertible or coupe.
