This is a beautiful, totally distinctive car, the definition of the word “classic”. From 1968-1971 there were only 5,326 2+2 Series II Coupes Produced The list price for the Coupe sold for a higher price than the convertible
In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in a The Daily Telegraph online list of the world's "100 most beautiful cars" of all time, and in 2004, Sports Car International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list of Top Sports Cars of the 1960’s.
I have owned this car for the last 36 years. It has very low miles, 46,176. It was driven regularly for the first ten years and then retired to a show car status, which means it was only driven for parades and jaguar club events. It runs great, looks great!
The series 1 ½ , 2+2 Coupe, benefits from improved looks, better handling, more leg room and a sliding rear seat which converts the car to a 2 seater with extra luggage space. More leg room provides comfortable seating for the taller person.
The 2+2 coupe features air conditioning with an automatic transmission. The air conditioning gives a cooler ride for a hot cat. The automatic transmission provides one great amenity for driving ease
This car has had constant care and feeding. Most parts have been rebuilt and replaced. The wire wheels have been rebuilt and re chrome. All new tires The transmission has been rebuilt. The flywheel and starter have been replaced. The main bearings on the engine have been replaced( scheduled recommended maintenance). Oil pressure is fantastic! The whole braking system has been rebuilt. The emergency brake works! With the brake system-All pistons, rotors, and master cylinder. New fuel pump, with in line filters.

All rear metal body panels were replaced, new rear lights, new bumpers, and new glass in the rear door. All parts and replacements have been jaguar specifications.
There is no rust on this car, except in the drivers floor pan. This car has no body fill that I can locate( refer to photos with orange magnet). The transmission has a small fluid leak. The air conditioner needs to be recharged. The front windshield has always had a chip in the glass.
