The seller offers for sale this 1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2, powered by a 4.2-litre six-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This example is presented as a coupe. It is offered in good condition, an attractive opportunity for the enthusiast of one of the most celebrated sports cars ever built.

Launched by Jaguar in 1961, the E-Type caused an immediate sensation with its breathtaking styling, advanced engineering and remarkable performance for its price. Its long, flowing bonnet, sleek cabin and purposeful stance made it an instant design icon, and its combination of beauty and speed earned admiration from enthusiasts and designers alike. By 1970 the model had evolved into the Series 2, which introduced a range of practical refinements including improved cooling, uprated brakes and revised lighting, while retaining the timeless silhouette that made the E-Type famous. Powered by Jaguar’s celebrated 4.2-litre XK straight-six engine, the car offered effortless performance and a wonderfully characterful driving experience.

Behind the wheel, the E-Type delivers the blend of grand touring comfort and sporting agility that cemented its legendary status. Its independent suspension, smooth six-cylinder power and beautifully weighted controls make it as rewarding to drive today as it was when new. With its unmistakable shape, motorsport-influenced heritage and enduring desirability, the E-Type remains one of the most coveted classic cars in the world. This particular coupé represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a genuine icon of automotive design and continues to offer the timeless appeal that has made the E-Type so cherished among collectors and enthusiasts.
