Auction description:
1969 Jaguar E-Type SII 4.2-Litre Series 2 Roadster
Oldtimer Galerie Toffen - Classic Car Auction Saanen / Gstaad, 29 December
Estimate USD 85 993 - 96 742 CHF 80 000 - 90 000 (listed)

This beautifully E-type roadster with its rare hard top was delivered new to the USA. In its combination of primrose yellow with a black leather interior and four speed manual gearbox, this Jaguar is a classic representative of the proverbial British sports car of its time. In December 1984, and, according to the vendor, with then only one previous owner, the E-type was acquired by the first and only Swiss owner in the USA and imported into Switzerland. In the last 38 years the Jaguar was enthusiastically driven but always thoroughly maintained. In recent times, the matching-numbers engine was completely over-hauled, the coachwork partially restored with new floors, the brakes overhauled, the radiator replaced, etc. All maintenance and restoration receipts since 1984 are present and a total of more than 141’000 francs have been invested in the car. The Jaguar is in good to very good condition and has successfully passed its latest Veteran MOT in September 2020.
