Are you looking for a Jaguar E-Type that blends the pure, unfiltered sports car experience of the 1960s with the comfort and versatility of a 2+2 configuration?

For decades, the Jaguar E-Type has ranked among the world’s most celebrated sports cars. Its sleek silhouette, long forward-hinged bonnet, advanced engineering, and performance that pushed boundaries in its day earned it global acclaim. Many designers and enthusiasts still consider the E-Type one of the most successful and iconic sports car designs ever created.

The example offered here is a Series 2, delivered in the highly desirable 2+2 configuration with the extended wheelbase. That additional space transforms the E-Type into a genuinely versatile classic—ideal for long-distance touring as well as relaxed weekend drives. Under the bonnet sits the 4. 2-liter XK inline-six, famed for its smooth power delivery and strong performance, paired with an automatic transmission. This combination was ordered only in limited numbers when new, making it an appealing and characterful choice today for enthusiasts who appreciate ease of use without compromising personality.

Between 2013 and 2016, this Jaguar underwent a full nut-and-bolt restoration in Europe, meticulously documented with photographs. The foundation was a period-correct California “black plate” E-Type—an excellent starting point thanks to that region’s favorable, dry climate. The restoration was performed with great care and respect for originality. The result is an E-Type that presents beautifully today: crisp, well-finished, and exactly what you expect from a restoration executed correctly and comprehensively.

The color combination is particularly striking: Regency Red on the exterior paired with a Tan leather interior—a timeless match that suits the lines of the 2+2 Coupé perfectly. Inside, you’ll find the classic dashboard layout, the iconic gauges, the signature center console, and that wonderful seating position with a view over the impossibly long bonnet. It’s this very sightline that defines so much of what makes the E-Type driving experience unforgettable.

Importantly, this is a matching-numbers example, verified by its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate. The car has spent the last twenty years in Germany, where it was properly driven and maintained. Thanks to the automatic transmission and the refined character of the 4. 2-liter engine, this Series 2 drives with surprising smoothness and comfort—without sacrificing the authentic, analogue charm for which the E-Type is so treasured.

For those seeking a 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 2+2 in an attractive color scheme, with matching numbers, automatic transmission, and a fully documented restoration, this example represents a superb opportunity.
