⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

An exceptionally restored and maintained example of one of the world's most desirable cars; the Jaguar E-Type.

The E-Type remains one of the world’s most recognisable sports cars, a legacy established at its 1961 unveiling. In its purest roadster form, the model is defined by a sleek waistline, sculptural lines, and exquisite detailing. It is a testament to an era of superior aesthetics and craftsmanship. While the original was a performance icon, the introduction of the 4.2-litre engine added newfound finesse and flexibility.

The Series 2 E-Type saw a total production run of ~18,808 units during its brief circa two-year lifespan, with the bulk of the production ending up in the US. Characterised by offering a more comfortable cabin, improved safety, upgraded trim, increased engine cooling and improved braking for greater usability without compromising the original's charm.

Coming from just under 5 years with our vendor, this 4.2 Roadster is finished in blue with a black leather interior. Formally part of a connoisseur’s collection and previously owned by a high-profile figure, the car features a documented restoration and tens of thousands of pounds in receipts from the last decade. It has done very few miles since its last service and is supplied with its Heritage Certificate and two keys.
