Lot 013: Jaguar E-Type S2 Roadster

Launched in October 1968, the Series 2 E-Type was a significant improvement on the already fabulous Series 1 thanks to modifications such as twin fans for better cooling, an all-synchro gearbox, better seats, improved switchgear and slightly more room in the cabin.Manufactured in September 1970, this particular car was despatched new to the United States and remained there until it was brought back to the UK in 1988. Here it was converted to full English spec including the fitment of the correct triple SU carburettors, deletion of the US-spec lights and conversion to RHD. Still in its original colour scheme of Powder Blue coachwork with black leather interior, it is said to be in excellent condition throughout with superb panel fit and a fully detailed engine bay. Amongst the large file of bills in the history folder is evidence of a full VSE engine rebuild in 1993, since when the car has covered less than 8,000 miles (as evidenced by the many old MOTs also on file).Supplied with a Heritage Certificate and a fresh MOT, this car is said to drive beautifully and needs absolutely nothing other than a new owner to enjoy it.
