This globally popular British sports car commands attention with its outstanding and unique design. There are many reasons why the E-Type Jaguar is one of the most desired sports cars in the world. The awesome note produced from the twin cam 4.2 combined with the feel and drive of this uber performance, taut handling roadster is an experience which must be felt to be truly understood. This is your chance to appreciate that experience.

The Series II E-Type roadster offered here features all of the classic styling cues so beloved by Jaguar afficionados. The open headlights, wrap-around bumper, sleek and swept bonnet, the enlarged “mouth” grille opening (which also greatly adided engine cooling) are just some of the features Jaguar collectors hold dear. The finish is presented in the most desirable and collectable colour combination of “BRG” British Racing Green on the exterior paired with a lush Light Biscuit interior and convertible top. Under the bonnet is a 4.2 liter engine with an estimated 246 hp and it is mated to a factory four speed manual transmission. An iconic engine, this Jaguar inline six cylinder has twin carburetors and performs very well. Notably, both engine and engine bay show well indicating the level of care that has always been lavished upon the car. This late Series II has been held in the same collectors care for the last 26 years. Purchased from, and professionally refinished by a notable restoration facility, the careful stewardship which then followed ensured this roadster enjoyed a gifted life that has travelled just 58,800 miles. With a correct and highly detailed interior that was refurbished with Biscuit leather accented by a black dash, black center console and stunning teak wood steering wheel. Equipped with correct and authentic knock off chrome wire wheels wrapped in speed rated Dunlop black wall tires. The trunk is also well detailed and correctly fitted with spare tire, knock off mallet and tool kit.
