Engine: 4.2L inline-six

A right-hand drive Jaguar E-Type Series 2 coupé, manufactured on 27 February 1970 and dispatched 11 March 1970, finished in Regency Red with black leather. Supplied new to the UK market, it covered around 36,000 miles before being placed in dry barn storage in the early 1980s by its second owner. Dormant for over four decades, it was recommissioned in 2023 with a full brake overhaul and new tyres, and is now roadworthy in largely original condition.
