Lot 145: Jaguar E-Type S2 4.2 2+2

While The E-Type was a popular choice among young blades, the family man was excluded from enjoying the pleasure of ownership, until, that is, the 2+2 was launched. Longer, taller than the 2 seater fixed head coupe, with a steeply raked windscreen, the 2+2 offered enough seating space for two children in the rear, fold away, seat or even adults on very short journeys. There was also generous luggage space behind the seats, which made the 2+2 an ideal touring car.This very late example of the Series 2 is equipped with the rare Borg Warner automatic transmission, has an excellent history file and is said to have provided, excellent and reliable classic transport for the vendor. The car is also equipped with the original pressed steel , chrome wheels, which were a factory option on later Series 2 cars and standard on the 1971 Series 3. These wheels are much stronger, easier to keep clean and require virtually no maintenance beyond a wash and polish.Finished in Jaguar Racing Green with excellent and original biscuit leather interior, this E-Type is described as being in very good order
