The Appeal
When the E-Type was introduced to the world in 1961, it was an immediate trendsetter. This car became synonymous with the fashion-led decades of the 60s and 70s, with its sleek styling and rasping engine note becoming one of the most famous in motoring. They were effortlessly cool, perfectly balanced between a relaxing cruiser and an engaging, torquey sports car.
The Series 2 E-Type brought improved cooling, superior brakes and a more relaxed driving experience to Jaguar's legendary sports car - refinements that made it a far easier car to live with. This 1970 example is a UK right-hand drive car that has passed through just four former registered keepers, with the first retaining it for 27 years and the most recent previous keeper for 23 years. Notably, only two of those four previous keepers actually drove the car.
Professionally restored in 1998, it has since received regular maintenance and a bare metal respray in its original colour. The vendor reports it starts, runs and drives nicely, with good oil pressure and sensible updates for usability. With £4,000 recently invested in MOT preparation and an engine test and tune, this Series 2 OTS presents well and is ready to be enjoyed.image.png1.69 MB
