Nov 8, 2019 · Jaguar E-type S1, S1.5 & S2: the Classic & Sports Car verdict A good Jaguar E-type is sensational to look at and an absolute joy to drive – and doesn’t have to be an expensive car to own. Buying a solid example, rather than having to spend a fortune turning a bad car into a good one, is the key.

- Jaguar E-Type S1 & S2: Our Verdict
A large percentage of an E-type’s bodywork is made up of a one-piece forward hinged bonnet, which is easily damaged on the leading edge if raised on uneven ground. The bonnet is constructed from several sections bolted together and rust can start in the seams behind the chrome trim. Other areas to check for rot on a Jaguar E-type are both floor pan...
Although the E-type’s straight-six is a tough unit if serviced correctly, these engines can suffer from head gasket failure. Try to inspect the sides of the block for any recent coolant stains and signs of any mayonnaise-type gloop lurking underneath the oil filler cap, which could indicate coolant has mixed with the engine oil. Any light rattling ...
The E-type’s double wishbone front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering is mounted on the lower longitudinal rails supporting the engine, while the car’s complex rear independent rear setup is contained in a pressed steel cage bolted to the floor pan. If it’s possible, jack up each wheel in turn; the first items to check are all the bushes and b...
The good news is that every bit of hard and soft trim inside a Jaguar E-type’s cabin is available from specialist suppliers. The bad news is that a full interior re-trim for either a roadster or coupé will be a wallet bustlingly expensive exercise.

Since prices for Series 1 E-type are now out of most buyers’ budgets, a Series 2 is probably the best buy. These models offer the same glorious view down that long, louvered bonnet and drive the same way as a tidy Series 1.

Sep 24, 2018 · On average, well-preserved C4s can range from $10,000 to $25,000, while limited edition or high-performance models can command higher prices. Where can I find parts and resources for restoring a C4 Corvette?
From the different companies, the S2 ranged from free to $70, the S1 was $100-135, and the Synergy Gold was $160-205. Most of the companies made it really easy to look at the prices, with the exception being Aeroflow (which also had higher prices than some of the others).
Although I recently bought S2 2+2, my ultimate dream is to have S1. With S1 prices skyrocketing I was thinking to hunt for S2 OTS or DHC and do convert to S1 by changing headlamps and rear light, bumpers etc. How do you think it would affect future value of the car?
