Description
Capots Vintage, specialist in sports and classic cars in Lyon, offers for sale a 1969 Jaguar Type E Series 2:
We are pleased to offer this very beautiful Jaguar Type E Series 2 Coupé 2+2, factory delivered in November 1969.
In this 2+2 configuration, the E preserves all the elegance and poise of the model, while offering greater practicality thanks to its four seats. A layout particularly appealing for fully enjoying one of the greatest icons of British motoring.
Our example underwent a complete body restoration in 2016 by a specialist, carried out in keeping with its original configuration. It now sports its superb Willow Green finish, an era-correct colour of particular elegance that wonderfully underlines the timeless lines of the E.
The cabin has also benefited from careful attention, with seat upholstery, dashboard trim and a new hood/ refurbished soft top redone in 2021. The other elements, kept in their original specification, are in very good condition and contribute fully to the authenticity and charm of this car.
The Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms that this car remains in its original configuration, with its Willow Green / Suede Green combination, as well as its original engine. A matching colors and matching numbers example, which is a real asset.
This E also stands out for a series of upgrades particularly relevant for high-quality road use. It notably gains power steering, a triple SU carburettor setup, rare and highly regarded for driveability and mechanical merit, front Zeus calipers with twin pistons and discs, a 123 electronic ignition, an alternator as well as an electric fan. These evolutions are particularly wise, profoundly transforming the car's behavior and ease of use compared with a standard E.
Always diligently maintained by professionals, the car has benefited from regular servicing. Recent work includes routine maintenance, rear disc replacement (requiring complete removal of the rear suspension), and fitting four new Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres.
The whole package comes with a complete folder of invoices and photographs documenting the restoration and ongoing care of the car.
A particularly elegant Series 2 2+2 E, matching numbers, matching colors, carefully restored and intelligently upgraded, ideal for a enthusiast seeking to balance charm, authenticity and driving pleasure.
