Mr. Ferrari knew a pretty car when he saw one and he might have been one of the first to express the sentiment, but an incalculable number of others have said virtually the same thing and they’re still saying it fifty years later. Designed by a noted aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, the E-type was meant to cheat the wind, but its glass covered headlights, long hood, short rear deck and compound curves also coincidentally looked great. With a 0-60 time of around seven seconds and a 150-mph top speed, the Series I E-type was near the top of the early 1960s food chain and was indeed quicker than numerous sports cars with a much higher price tag. A 2+2 coupe was added to the coupe and convertible body styles in 1966, and the 2+2 was the first E-type to be available with an automatic transmission. Parts are easy to find and not terribly expensive for any version of the E-type. This stunning Jaguar E-type Series 2 Roadster was built on August 28 of 1969. It is a matching numbers car as per the Jaguar Heritage Certificate and finished in Opalescent Golden Sand with Beige interior. We purchased this beautiful car from the same owner of close to 20 years. This wonderful Jaguar E-type underwent a full and ground up restoration completed in 2002. There is some photo documentation of this restoration and also some documentation of work completed. We have refreshed the restoration recently and made this a car a wonderful show driver type of vehicle. Some of the work we had completed as well as some other upgrades are listed below: • Aluminum radiator installed with electric fan for better cooling. • Engine previously rebuilt during the restoration. • Carburetors completely rebuilt in 11/19. • Valve adjustment. 12/19. • New water pump 11/19. • Oil Service 11/19. • New torsion bars installed 12/19. • New front shocks 12/19. • New door handles 12/19. • Brake service 12/19 • Alignment and wheel balance 11/19 • Intake and font breather polished.

It has excellent power and there is no hesitation on throttle response. This Jaguar stops straight and does not fade or pull. The gearbox is silky smooth and there are no noises in any of the gears. Furthermore, the clutch feels great and there is slippage. The entire driving experience is an absolute pleasure. The Jaguar E-type presented here holds temperature and does not overheat.
