Description
1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4. 2L Fixed Head Coupé
A great opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic sports cars ever produced – the legendary Jaguar E-Type. Few cars have ever captured the spirit of their era quite like this model, I dare to coin this massively overused phrase “The Jaguar E-Type is the most beautiful car ever made.” Enzo Ferrari.
This particular example is a UK-supplied, right-hand-drive Series 2 Fixed Head Coupé, originally delivered new by Henley’s of London. Presented in Cream paintwork with contrasting Black leather interior, it has a lovely feel to it, and is an ultimately extremely desirable but usable classic.
Mechanically, this E-Type is a great to drive. The car benefits from a desirable 4-speed automatic gearbox conversion (carried out at a cost of around £7, 000), offering a far more usable driving experience than the original 3-speed. The engine pulls strongly, starts reliably on the button, and the gearbox shifts smoothly – making it a classic you can truly enjoy on the road.
Mileage is circa 120, 000 (with a documented speedometer change in 2000), and the car has benefitted from a top-end engine rework since then. It also comes with a comprehensive, receipted history file, Heritage Certificate, and V5C showing matching engine and chassis numbers.
Recent works include:
Refurbished radiator
Ultrasonically cleaned & rebuilt carburettors
New upper & lower suspension bushes
Front subframe mount repairs
Rocker cover gaskets replaced
Refurbished cooling fans
New tyres (all four)
The car will also be supplied with a fresh MOT and full check-over for complete peace of mind.
With just six former keepers and an extensive history, this is a well-maintained, characterful, and highly usable E-Type – a car that offers immense driving pleasure while standing as an appreciating classic investment for a very reasonable price.
