Advertised for sale on carsales.com.au 24 March 2022 asking AUD$129,900. Car is located in Adelaide, South Australia. Seller’s description (edited) follows:
1969 Jaguar E-type 2+2 with manual transmission. 98,613 miles showing.
Originally a LHD vehicle imported some years ago from the USA and converted to RHD.
After-market air conditioning that works.
Further note by Clive: The data plate is obviously a re-stamped aftermarket plate showing (impossibly) the same Body Number as Car Number (see photo). Also, the data plate Car Number has a BW suffix indicating, if correct, that this car left the factory with an automatic transmission. Data plate shows Engine Number 7R35928-9 which could be original.

For the record another green car seems to have the original data plate for this car with an entirely different set of numbers:

1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 2 4.2 2+2

This Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2 is a solid and eminently useable example of the iconic sporting classic, which benefits from a recent strip-down and repaint. 

Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre inline-six, delivering around 265bhp and 283lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. 

The five-figure odometer currently displays 42,886 miles, however this is not warranted. 

This Series 2 left-hand drive example is noted to have had just three owners from new.
