1969 Jaguar E-Type series II 4.2 Roadster

Does the E-Type Roadster need a general introduction? Ever since Enzo Ferrari famously described it as 'the most beautifil car in the world' when launched, we think you may well already be getting the drift. Following on from the highly acclaimed series 1, the series II was introduced in 1968 and only available as a 4.2, 6 cylinder Roadster or 2 plus 2 Coupe. Refined in all key areas including brakes, steering and handling - it is now widely regarded as the best driving E-Type of them all.

This car was manufactured on 16th July 1969 as a manual left hand drive series II 4.2 Roadster finished in British Racing Green with Cinnamon leather upholstery and dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York. Returning to these shores in 2012 with all American documentation, the current Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms it retains the original engine, gearbox and body number so is offered as a matching numbers concours example.

The professional restoration was carried out over the last 2 years when the car was stripped to a bare shell for a complete body restoration. The engine was also stripped and rebuilt - including a re-bore, new crankshaft, new pistons and cylinder head overhaul. The gearbox and rear axle were fully overhauled, the wiring replaced, new brake discs and calipers fitted all round as was a stainless steel exhaust system.

The car was then professionally repainted in it's original British Racing Green with a suede green leather interior and a new green roof. The folder of invoices in the history file confirm the serious amounts of money spent and the total mileage since the car was finished remains under 100 today.

A fantastic investment opportunity, with all the right credentials, to drive and enjoy this Summer.
