Seller's description:

1969 Jaguar E-type 4.2 Series II Roadster - Restored

Wonderful dark green Series II Jaguar E-type roadster in great mechanical and cosmetic condition. The car is powered by the original 4.2-liter inline-six and 4-speed manual transmission. With only 55216 indicated miles on the odometer, the car retains many unique original features, including original wire wheels and chrome bumpers. The car underwent a very comprehensive professional restoration in England under prior ownership, including a new leather interior, new convertible top, new hood cover, restored radio, re-chromed bumpers and overrides, and much more. 

The car is coming out of Danish ownership and has a UK title, registration, and papers. A full inspection and service are completed in-house, and the car can be enjoyed as-is for many years to come. One of the best Jaguar E-type roadsters we have seen in a long time. A Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate is included in the sale.

VIN/Chassis number: 1R10515

Engine number: 7R6926-9

The Interior

Biscuit leather interior and carpets in superb order, recently retrimmed and barely used since 

Matching beige convertible top neatly contrasts the paintwork and is in good order with clear screens 

Three spoke factory-correct wood-rimmed E-type steering wheel 

Interior trim including door cards and centre console retrimmed and well kept 

Tan boot trim in good order 

This is a very well kept car, clearly barely used from a comprehensive high end restoration covering paintwork, bodywork and interior. This work was undertaken up to June 2020 but with less than 100 miles covered since, it remains in ‘box fresh’ condition. The panel fit and quality detailing, including the chromework, all point to a project undertaken by experts. The colour combination is a key part of this car’s appeal, it a factory correct dark green opalescent finish which works well with the contrasting biscuit trim.

The Exterior

Very good condition across paintwork, bodywork and underside 

Presents as fresh from a comprehensive restoration covering these three areas 

Attractive dark green metallic paintwork is a factory correct shade and is a high quality respray 

Paintwork and panels in very good order with excellent fit across doors in particular 

Bright chromework either restored or replaced and with no visible marks 

Chrome wire wheels unmarked and untarnished and fitted with Goodyear tyres 

Some evidence of refreshed suspension

Clean underbody

Runs beautifully, as perfectly tuned on a rolling road by one of Danmarks foremost classic car experts
