Description

This 1970 Jaguar Series 2 E-Type is an original, numbers-matching Roadster that is complete but has been non-operational for a number of years. The Series 2 is a desirable model as it marks the end of the 6-cylinder engine in the E-Type line, and while titled as a 1970, we believe it could actually be a 1971 as it features the distinctive Jaguar “Leaper” emblems on both the driver and passenger sides of the bonnet.

At this stage, the E-Type is still fully customizable, allowing its future owner to designate their preferred exterior color, interior color & materials, and any other performance or cosmetic upgrades to meet your vision.

Whether restored to original factory specifications or modified to your personal vision, this 1968 XKE roadster represents a fantastic opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike!

History

While the Series II E-type was more radically altered than its interim predecessor, the essential construction remained the same and the body work differed only in detail. Modifications were made to the front of the bonnet, increasing the size considerably, the headlamp scoops were altered so that the inner walls now splayed inwards and the side/flasher were rather larger and positioned below the raised bumper. The vehicle also received heavier front bumper blades, motif bar, front and rear over riders were changed, new square number plate at the rear, a different grille was used in the rear of the bonnet bulge, and the washer jets were finished in satin chrome to avoid the risk of dangerous reflections. Reclining seats were fitted to the Series II cars as well as head rests that were adjustable for height.
