Jaguar E-Type Series 2 2+2

This Series 2 E-Type 2+2 was built in June 1970 and first delivered by Henlys of London. It is a UK-market, matching-numbers car in its original Sable with a Cinnamon interior, backed by a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. Only 1,040 right-hand-drive Series 2 2+2 coupés were made for the home market, and fewer than 130 are said to remain on the DVLA register.

The current owner has had it since 2018 and used it on international historic rallies, spending over £60,000 with marque specialists. Work includes new sills and floors, a rebuilt gearbox and differential, a skimmed cylinder head, electronic ignition, uprated cooling and a stainless exhaust. A Laycock de Normanville overdrive, possible only on the longer 2+2 chassis, gives relaxed cruising at about 2,500 rpm at 85 mph.

The interior has been partly retrimmed and the bonnet recently resprayed. It also has a Webasto sunroof and Dynamat insulation. It comes with a history file of invoices and a current FIVA passport, and has completed the Targa Florio Classica, Modena Cento Ore and Gran Premio Nuvolari. The page shows 57,100 miles and the price is on application.
