Lot 111: Jaguar E-Type S1 2 + 2

After wowing the worlds press and customers alike for 5 years with the E Type FHC and Roadster, Jaguar launched the family mans E Type in 1966. This new E Type had a longer wheelbase and steeply raked front screen, allowing Jaguar the space to fit a fold away rear seat. The rear seat could accommodate two small children with ease and the provided occasional room for two adults over short distances. This new configuration meant that the family man could now enjoy E Type motoring without feeling guilty and when he used it as a two seater, he had acres of luggage space.Offered here is an early example of a 2 + 2, which is also equipped with the optional, Borg Warner, automatic transmission. The car is said to have benefited from recent restoration, which has been photographically recorded. The extensive history file includes the photo record, a wealth of service and maintenance history and a number of previous MoT certificates.Finished in white with red leather interior, the car is described as being a very usable example, which is in good condition having benefited from much recent expenditure.
