Auction description:
The Spring Sale
1970 Jaguar E Type 4.2 Series II 2+2 Coupe
Lot No.: TBA
Registration: YBL 2H
Chassis Number: 1R35842
Engine Number: 7R399899
Number of cylinders: 6
CC: 4.2
Year of Manufacture: 1970
Estimate (£): 50,000 - 60,000
This matching numbers car is an immaculate original right hand drive UK example of the rare 4.2 series II coupe 2+2, of which the factory built only 870.

The car has been subject to a recent 3 year complete restoration for which there are invoices totalling over £40,000 in parts alone. Many hundreds of hours of time from the previous retired owner and enormous effort have been dedicated to rebuild the car to the fantastic condition it is in today, looking as if it had just rolled out of the factory in 1970!

As testament to the stunning restoration undertaken, it was recently displayed at the November 2011 Classic Car Show at the N.E.C., as part of the Meguiars Concours stand, along with other 'best of breed' models from mainstream manufacturers and private collectors.

The detail and quality of the restoration reflects in the handling of this E-type as it drives extremely well with no deviations or upgrades from the original factory specification.
