A question for BlackJag

What's a series 1 1/2 E Type roadster worth in very nice, but not concour condition? (I'm assuming it's a 1 1/2, registration label says it's a 1968 car) Showing 70,000 miles, two owners, many receipts from Bryson's amonst the paperwork. Old English white with red. Has original Dunlop Acquajet tyres! Only problem, engine and transmission sitting out of the car with a suspected head gasket issue. Assuming you'd have to go right through it, would be worth $75K running? (I'm just guessing here)

 

100k would move quickly.

 

why didn't you just PM him?

 

Thanks, that much? So an open car is worth 30% over a FHC? And I assume a series 1 1/2 is considerably less desireable compared to a series 1 flat floor?

Car is owned by an elderly widow that knows my mum, she asked me around to have a look at it. Its seems complete, but I wouldn't really know. At least its been stored dry, the leather despite needing a feed looks great.

 

Because I wanted to waste bandwidth on non Ferrari content, like you do!

Any maybe someone else might chime in.

 

I'm happy to have a look if you PM me the chassis number i can give you more help.
30% about right.
I reckon a concour roadster is 150k
FHC about 110k
most valuable are the early 3.8 cars
the best overall is the 4.2 series 1
best driving car series 2 4.2
series 1 and a half is a nice car its a series 1 without the headlight covers.
with these cars all away along there improving them.

 

fuick off.

 

So bitter.

 

be a nice car to own all it needs is
6 inch wire wheels
Koni sports
brake conversion kit
sway bars
torsion bars
and away you go
maybe exhaust headers

 

But if you wanted to drive it on the street, you'd leave it as is surely?

 

how long has your GTB been off the road? we were taking bets.

 

The updates RB suggests . . . keep the style, replace everything else.

 

8 yrs?

 

perhaps but you would need to fit a larger radiator and elctric fan

 

18 years. Will be ready for 2017 as promised

BTW, I am not keen on the Jaguar, it would be project number 567 that won't get completed. Just trying to help out and old friend of mums. It just came up in conversation after she was offered $5,000 for it and she was curious to know if that was fair.

 

I've got $5,500.

 

Tell her to take the money and change her address and her phone number

 

Hahahahahahaha, youre a funny bugger!

 

But the title states "A question for BlackJag"

Why don't you PM me?

 

sicko just trying to pick you up.

so bitter
