VIN: 1R41068 Engine No.: 7R33725-9
This exquisite example of the 2+2 coupe captures all the beauty and speed of the original E-type concept, but with a bit of comfort and practicality added in. I acquired this 2+2 from the previous owner who had the car in his possession for nearly 30 years, but due to physical limitations could only admire its beauty. Today its odometer is showing just under 90,500 miles, believed to be from new. This is the type of Jaguar collectors line-up and wait for. Treated to a re-spray in its original Regency Red, there were no issues with the body in ways of damage or rust, and it remains unmolested with modifications or alterations. When the gas tank trim was removed to extract the original fuel tank, the paint under the tank and surrounding areas was still show room fresh. NO RUST! With soft black leather on the bucket seats, which appears to be original, all of the stitching is in order, the dashboard is fitted with all the original instruments and best of all, this is an air-conditioned 2+2. One upgrade is the addition of a JVC stereo system which appears to have been professionally installed.

Mechanically, this car is just simply beautiful. Recently treated to nearly $30,000 worth of maintenance work making it ready for the road, all of the brake parts were sent out and brass lined, both of the SU carburetors were completely gone through plated and had ethanol friendly gaskets installed, and the engine was highly detailed making this gem ready for the show field or to hit the road. The exhaust is stainless steel front to back. The fuel tank is new. There are receipts for all of the work. Since that work was completed, about 400 test miles have been put on the car during which no concerns about its performance or issues were reported. The transmission is tight and goes through the gears with ease. During the maintenance work, all engine numbers were inspected and found to be 100% matching. All of the glass appears to be original to the car and is clear. Chrome and bright work, including the wire wheels, look fresh and sparkle in the daylight.

About the Owner .... I have owned many cars over the years (and still do). As I continue to change my taste I have changed the cars in the collection. I own my own restoration shop, anything that I have done to the car or had done is top notch. My business is not sell cars for a living, I build cars to order for discriminating clientele. The car is in my name. The reason that I state this information is that I don't need to sell the car, nor was the car just thrown together to sell. This is not meant to be negative, I just don't want to waste anyone's time with low ball offers or the like.

Sellers description:
The car on offer here is a 1969 E-Type 2+2 Coupe. The car received a sympathetic Mechanical and cosmetic restoration at a cost of more than $30,000 in 2014 by Classic Cars of Houston, TX; the car is in excellent driver level condition. We believe this to be an original numbers matching car with the engine and transmission it was born with. Finished in Carmen Red with Black interior, this coupe shows beautifully from every angle. The body is straight, the panel fit being far better than factory specs. The 4.2-liter motor runs beautifully, and the twin SU carbs (rebuilt) are tuned to perfection. The engine compartment is well detailed. The rebuilt radiator and auxiliary fans do an excellent job of cooling the car. The original, fully synchronized transmission shifts well, and the clutch engages as it should.The suspension has been rebuilt, and all bushings, rubber, shocks and bearings replaced. The brakes, hydraulics, electrics were restored as well as the entire fuel system, including the fuel tank and carburettors. The car runs and drives as it should, and the engine makes good power and torque.
The interior is in excellent condition, including the black leather seats, black carpets and black leather dash. The air condition was overhauled by Classic Auto Air in Florida. There is a wonderful patina throughout the car, attesting to the age and originality of the car. All of the chrome and trim on the car is in good condition, as are the lights, lens and headlights. The car wears beautiful wire wheels, and shod with new B.F Goodrich radial tires. The underside is excellent, very original and shows well, the stainless steel exhaust system is new. The spare tire compartment is original and looks new. This car is extremely well sorted, and runs as well as any e-type we have driven. Simply turn the key and the car fires immediately and idles beautifully. The sound of these cars cannot be overstated. This car gives the the wonderful driving experience that only an e-type roadster can deliver. This beautiful E-Type 2+2 coupe runs and drives well, and needs nothing except an enthusiastic new owner!!!
