1969 Jaguar E Type Series II Coupe - Maroon - 52082Miles - 4.2L inline 6 , 4-Speed Auto
The Jaguar E Type stands as one of the most significant and celebrated sports cars ever built, and the 1969 Series II represents a pivotal moment in the model's evolution. By this point, Jaguar had enlarged the legendary XK engine to 4.2 litres, delivering enhanced torque and refinement whilst maintaining the raw performance that made the E Type a legend. This particular example, finished in striking maroon with a complementary cream leather interior, presents as a genuine, low-mileage example of this iconic British sports car.
The maroon paintwork holds excellent gloss across all panels with only minor stone chipping to the bonnet leading edge, consistent with careful use over decades. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain crisp, with no evidence of accident repair or respray. The iconic long bonnet, graceful curves, and purposeful stance are exactly as Jaguar intended. Chrome trim and bumpers show appropriate patina befitting the vehicle's age. The cream leather interior is in remarkably good condition, with minimal wear to the seat bolsters and dash. The wood-rimmed steering wheel, period-correct instrumentation, and original switchgear all speak to authenticity. The soft-top mechanism operates smoothly, and the convertible roof is in sound condition. At just 52082 miles on the odometer, this E Type has clearly been cherished and stored appropriately, a rarity for vehicles of this age.
The 4.2-litre I6 engine bay is clean and original, with correct finned rocker cover and period-appropriate ancillaries. The 4-speed manual gearbox with its characteristic long throw is present and correct. This is a matching-numbers example with engine number 7R365318 stamped on the block. The mechanical specification is entirely original, with no modifications or upgrades evident. For collectors and enthusiasts, the E Type Series II represents the sweet spot in the model's evolution: the refined 4.2 engine without the emissions equipment of later variants, combined with the iconic styling that made the model famous. At current market values, genuine low-mileage Series II coupes in this condition command strong interest from serious collectors. Comparable examples have realised between AUD $180,000 and $280,000 depending on provenance and condition. This example, with its exceptional mileage and honest presentation, sits at the premium end of the market.
