1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster
£139,950
About this car
A 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster, originally delivered new in Beverly Hills, California, and imported to the UK in 2018 at approximately 68,900 miles. The car has since undergone a comprehensive restoration costing in excess of £100,000 by Gibson's Classics, which included conversion to right-hand drive. Just 1,474 miles have been covered since the rebuild, and the car has reportedly never been driven in the rain during its current UK ownership.
The specification is appealing: Gunmetal Grey Metallic over Bordeaux hide and carpets, with a matching Bordeaux mohair soft top and the original factory hard top included. Power steering and wider wheels have been fitted, enhancing both usability and stance. The 4.2-litre inline-six remains one of the great classic engines, and in Series 2 form the E-Type offers a slightly more relaxed, touring-friendly character than the earlier cars while retaining the iconic silhouette.
With its older American provenance, extensive UK restoration, and low post-rebuild mileage, this is a well-sorted example ready for regular use or careful preservation. Priced at £139,950, it reflects the significant investment in the RHD conversion and full restoration.
