It must be said this 1970 UK right-hand-drive 2+2 Fixed Head Coupé is a handsome and presentable example. According to the accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, the Jaguar was delivered via Hillwood Motors of The New Forest in April 1970, specified originally in Sable with a Cinnamon leather interior.

The Jaguar shows just one former keeper from new, being offered from current long-term enthusiast owner as part of a small collection of British classics. We understand the bodywork was subject to an earlier repaint in its current shade of silver metallic, and whilst running and driving, the car would benefit from light recommissioning and cosmetic improvement before being used once more.

A substantial history file accompanies the car, containing useful documentation supporting its maintenance and provenance.

The Series 2's combination of the proven 4.2-litre XK engine, improved brakes and cooling, and more usable four-seat accommodation makes it an especially rewarding interpretation of the E-Type. For the enthusiast seeking an honest and presentable E-Type, this handsome 2+2 offers a particularly the opportunity to enjoy one of Jaguar's definitive sporting GTs of the period.
