About this car

This 1970 Series 2 E-Type roadster pairs the 4.2-litre straight-six with a four-speed manual gearbox. It is finished in British Racing Green over light beige leather, a classic combination for the model.

A Jaguar Heritage Trace certificate is said to confirm matching numbers and the original colours. The car has been upgraded with power-assisted steering, which makes it easier to drive in modern traffic. The page gives the mileage as 500.

The dealer sold the car previously and has since built a photographic history file. Panel fit and general condition are described as very good.
