WHAT WE THINK
If you’ve spent time around classic cars, you’ll know that some just feel right straight away. The engine note, the gear shift, the way the car rides without a single rattle—this E-Type is one of them. It’s solid, well set up, and clearly been properly looked after.
The Series 2 is often overlooked in favour of the Series 1, but a good S2 like this is frankly the better car to drive.
If you’re after a clean, well-sorted E-Type that’s ready to use, this one’s worth a look.
