Jaguar E-Type Series 2

The 1970 Jaguar E-Type has always held a particular place in automotive history that enthusiasts just can't escape. The way people feel when encountering an incredible piece of machinery illustrates how a vehicle’s design specs can stir the soul. This was the scene at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, when the public caught its first glimpse of the Jaguar E-Type.

This impressive design fused artistry with functionality and embodied the sensibilities of an era while pushing the boundaries of automotive technology. The E-Type’s long, flowing lines and distinctive silhouette made it instantly recognizable and earned it a place among the most iconic cars of the 20th century.

Unparalleled Design and Performance

The E-Type delivered sports car performance that surpassed many contemporary vehicles. The introductory 3. 8-liter engine enabled a top speed of over 150 mph, accelerating from 0-60 mph in approximately 7 seconds. The later 4. 2-liter iteration maintained similar outright speeds while offering enhanced torque and drivability.

Upgraded Features and Specifications

The Series II arrived to align with safety and emissions regulations, predominantly in the key US market. Along with open, exposed headlights, the Series II had a larger front air intake that improved cooling capacity. Tail lights also migrated below the bumpers, which grew to fulfill new standards.

Provenance and Documentation

Formerly part of the extensive private collection, Arguably the best combination of a 4. 2-litre engine and a 4-speed manual gearbox.

Destined for the United States, the history file shows registration documents for a Mr Mark Davies of Pearland, Texas. The car was repatriated to the UK on 1st November 2015 according to the accompanying V5C. Presented with a history file with the aforementioned Texan Title documents, maintenance and parts receipts and an advisory-free MOT valid until the 25th September 2025.
