The seller offers for sale a Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster from 1969. This cabriolet is equipped with a manual transmission and powered by a 4.2 liter six-cylinder petrol engine. The car was originally purchased by a collector in Utah, United States, and restored during the 1980s, supported by an extensive file of invoices from that period. The current owner acquired the car in 2015 and commissioned recommissioning work at a specialist garage, with documented expenses. Since then, the vehicle has been carefully maintained and driven sparingly. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The interior was refurbished during the restoration and presents neatly with leather upholstery and carpets.
The soft top is present and described as being in good working order.
The Jaguar E-Type is widely regarded as one of the most iconic sports cars ever produced, praised for its combination of striking design, performance, and advanced engineering for its era. Introduced in the early 1960s, the model quickly established itself as a benchmark in the sports car world, admired by enthusiasts and designers alike. The Series 2 brought subtle refinements while retaining the unmistakable character of the original E-Type, offering a balance between classic styling and improved drivability. With its long bonnet, flowing lines, and engaging driving experience, the E-Type Roadster remains a highly desirable classic that continues to capture attention at events and on the road.
