About this car

This 1970 Jaguar E-Type is a Series II 4.2 fixed head coupe, finished in Gunmetal with a red leather interior. The Series II brought the 4.2-litre straight-six and triple SU carburettors that many enthusiasts still consider the sweet spot of the E-Type range.

It was originally built as a left-hand-drive car. The dealer restored it in 2017 and converted it to full UK specification. It is described as a matching-numbers car. A previous owner fitted a 3.07 rear differential for more relaxed touring.

The page says the car has seen little use since the restoration and remains in very good order. It completed the trip to the most recent Classic Le Mans without trouble. No mileage, registration or ownership history is given.
