Its aesthetic appeal, characterized by sleek lines, was coupled with potent performance and a modest price point. The design was heavily influenced by the racing D-Type, utilizing the same advanced monocoque body structure atop a tube frame. This was mated to a technically sophisticated suspension system and the now-iconic XK engine, resulting in a predictably rapid influx of orders, particularly within the American market.In 1968, Jaguars flagship model underwent a minor revision, resulting in the Series 2 designation. Distinguishing features included open headlamps, upgraded cooling efficiency, and enhanced interior appointments. Fitted with the 4.2-litre version of the inline-six engine, the Series 2 E-Type is generally regarded as a sweet spot for the model, successfully pairing the aesthetic purity of preceding models with advancements in comfort, reliability, and practicality.This stunning roadster, finished in blue with a Java leather interior, underwent a substantial £30,000 restoration in 2024. Originally imported from the US in 1989, it was professionally converted to RHD and is backed by over £50,000 in historical invoices. It has been under current ownership since 2013 and comes to market with a very sensible reserve. **** VEHICLE DETAIL **** We've written a longer and detailed description about this vehicle on our website that will have all of your burning questions answered.
