Used 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster

The Jaguar E Type was understandably described by Enzo Ferrari as ‘the most beautiful car ever made’ when launched in 1961. The E Type’s combination of beauty, high performance and competitive pricing quickly established the model as an icon of the motoring world. Available originally as a fixed head coupe or open two seater with a 3.8ltr straight six cylinder engine all models had a monocoque body, rack & pinion steering, independent suspension and disc brakes all round. As the model evolved, the larger 4.2ltr 6 cylinder engine and the 5.3ltr V12 units were utilised. Automatic transmission was optional and a larger 2+2 body with rear seats was also available. The car we are pleased to offer is a late built Series 2 Open Two Seater (roadster) fitted with the 4.2ltr straight 6 engine and manual transmission. The car is a rare, original UK supplied car with the correct VIN 1R 1690 denoting it to be one of the last Series 2 RHD roadsters built in 1970 and one of less than 800 RHD cars bui
