The Jaguar E Type stands as one of the most significant and celebrated sports cars ever produced, and the 1969 Series II represents an important stage in the model’s evolution. By this point, Jaguar had refined the legendary E Type formula with the enlarged 4.2-litre XK inline six-cylinder engine, delivering improved torque and refinement whilst retaining the unmistakable character that made the E Type an automotive icon. This particular example is the practical and distinctive 2+2 Coupe variant, finished in elegant maroon with a complementary cream leather interior.

The maroon paintwork presents with strong gloss across the body, complemented by the E Type’s unmistakable long bonnet, flowing roofline and timeless proportions. The body lines remain crisp, and the vehicle retains the elegant styling details that established the E Type as one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Chrome trim and brightwork display age-appropriate character consistent with an enthusiast-owned classic. The cream leather interior presents well overall, featuring period-correct instrumentation, original-style switchgear and a wood-rimmed steering wheel that further enhances the classic British grand touring experience.

As a 2+2 Coupe, this example offers increased practicality and interior space compared with the Fixed Head Coupe variant, whilst still retaining the iconic E Type silhouette and driving experience. The odometer indicates approximately 52,082 miles, and the vehicle presents as an honest and well-maintained example suited to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Power comes from the renowned 4.2-litre XK inline six-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The engine bay retains a clean and authentic presentation, including the correct finned cam covers and period-style ancillaries. The vehicle is identified as a matching-numbers example, with engine number 7R365318 stamped on the block.
