1969 Jaguar E Type S2 4. 2 2+2 Coupé Manual for Sale
The first significant up-grade of Jaguar's sensational E-Type sports car occurred in October 1964 with the launch of a 4. 2-litre version, which featured an all-synchromesh gearbox and a host of other improvements as well as the bigger, torquier engine. The E-Type's top speed of around 150mph remained unchanged, the main performance gain resulting from the larger engine being improved acceleration. Like its 3. 8-litre forbear, the 4. 2-litre E-Type was built in roadster and coupé forms, and in 1966 was joined by an additional 'family friendly' 2+2 coupé variant on a longer wheelbase. With the 2+2's increased length and additional rear seats came greater headroom, more luggage space, improved heating/ ventilation.
