Description
1969 Jaguar E-Type SII
Since the E-type made its sensational debut in 1961, some devotees were wary of subsequent developments but change it did. The XK6 4.2-litre engine pre-dated the arrival of the Series II, appearing in the two-seater Sports and coupes from 1964, and then the elongated 2+2s from 1966. The 4.2 is a smooth and powerful engine that offers refinements over the previous 3.8 including better low-end torque and mid-range pickup. An unusual custom E type Series two roadster, which has had its build details confirmed by the accompanying Heritage Certificate, this dates the car to March 1969. Originally a Regency Red roadster, this matching numbers car has been customised by the fitting of a Series 3 bonnet and flaring the rear arches to match. The track and wheelbase are standard for a Series 2. Concurrent with the launch of the V12 Series 3, four 6 cylinder cars were produced on the Series 3 chassis, as experimental models, for the avoidance of doubt this is not one of them. Shipped originally to British Leyland New York on the 14th June 1969, little is known of the earlier History, however by 2000 the XKE was living in California, and then to Honolulu, with the last service bill being 2013. |

Overall comments
A solid Series 2 roadster in the style of a series 2 1/2 whilst retaining the Series 2 shorter chassis. Mechanically good with matching numbers The customisation was evidently carried out some time ago, as in fact the original Regency Red can be found both on non exposed areas on the body shell and the bonnet |
