Jaguar E-type Coupe 4.2 S2 1969

The 1969 Jaguar E-type Coupe 4.2 S2 is an iconic appearance that has enriched automotive history with its timeless beauty and impressive performance. This particular E-type is an original California car, meaning it spent its early years in the sunny and dry climate of the west coast of the United States. This contributed to the relatively good condition of the body and chassis, as cars from this area suffer less from rust and other weather conditions.

The E-type, designed by the legendary Malcolm Sayer, was praised for its combination of beauty, high performance and relatively affordable price when it was introduced in 1961. The 4.2-liter engine, which made its appearance in 1964, brought improved driving characteristics and increased torque, quickly making this series popular among car enthusiasts. The Series 2, to which this model belongs, introduced a number of important updates such as improved cooling and brakes, and was a response to stricter safety requirements in the United States.

What makes this particular Jaguar E-type special is the optional skai upholstery in the interior, a choice that was considered very durable at the time. Skai, an artificial leather, offered a luxurious look and was easier to maintain than traditional leather. The interior of this E-type is still in fairly clean condition, which is a testament to the care and attention this car has received over the years. Three years ago, the car was technically prepared for an RDW inspection.

Although the interior is well preserved, the paintwork could use some attention if desired. This offers the new owner the opportunity to further personalize the car and bring it to perfect condition. It is an opportunity to breathe new life into the beauty of the E-type while maintaining its authentic charm. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
