1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2 Roadster – Complete Restoration, Matching Numbers, Heritage Certificate

This 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 OTS Roadster presents an exceptional opportunity to own a fully restored example of one of the most iconic sports cars ever built. Finished in Regency Red over beige leather, this Series 2 Open Two Seater is powered by the legendary 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, and retains its original charm with tasteful factory details and documented history.

This left-hand-drive example benefits from a comprehensive restoration, bringing the car to an excellent cosmetic and mechanical standard. The bodywork remains in great condition with even panel gaps and high-quality paintwork. The wire wheels, chrome bumper rosettes, and other brightwork components are all in superb condition, reflecting the attention to detail throughout the restoration.

Classic Jaguar Performance and Styling

Under the long, flowing bonnet sits Jaguar’s well-regarded 4.2L inline-six, delivering smooth, torque-rich performance. Paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, the drivetrain provides an engaging and refined driving experience. As a Series 2, this car features improved cooling with a larger front air intake, dual electric fans, and upgraded brakes for enhanced drivability.

Elegant Color Combination and Interior Appointments

The Regency Red exterior is complemented by a refined beige leather interior, with matching door panels and carpets. The black convertible soft top is paired with a matching tonneau cover. Inside, the cockpit retains its period-correct charm, including toggle switches, Smiths instrumentation, and adjustable bucket seats introduced with the Series 2 for greater comfort.

Heritage and Documentation

Accompanied by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this E-Type confirms its authenticity and build specification. It has had three owners from new and currently shows 17,550 miles. The car has been well maintained and thoughtfully preserved since its restoration, offering both aesthetic excellence and road-ready reliability.

Series 2 Design Updates

The Series 2 updates, introduced between 1968 and 1970, include uncovered headlights, repositioned larger signal indicators, tail lamps mounted below the bumper, and an updated interior to comply with safety regulations. These refinements added usability while retaining the unmistakable silhouette of the original E-Type.

Summary

With its fully restored condition, desirable 4.2L Series 2 configuration, and timeless color combination, this 1969 Jaguar E-Type Roadster represents the perfect blend of heritage, performance, and design. Whether destined for show or spirited touring, it stands as an exceptional example of Britain’s most celebrated sports car.
