1972 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster – 4.2L, 4-Speed, Factory Hardtop, 2-Owner Car

This 1972 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster is a well-preserved example of one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built. Finished in a classic color combination over a period-correct interior, it’s powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This two-owner car shows 67,512 miles and is offered with a rare factory hardtop, combining open-air motoring with the versatility of a coupe-style profile.

The Series II E-Type retained the legendary styling of the original XKE while incorporating a number of refinements to improve drivability, cooling, and reliability. The longer wheelbase of the convertible increased comfort without compromising the car’s low, sleek proportions. This example features the iconic long bonnet, covered headlights, and sculpted rear haunches that made the E-Type an instant design classic.

Finished in an elegant, understated color (specific color not stated), the exterior remains in great condition with consistent panel fitment and a well-maintained paint finish. Brightwork and trim are clean and free of major blemishes, while the included color-matched factory hardtop offers a rare and desirable complement to the black convertible soft top.

The cabin is fitted with leather bucket seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and Smiths instrumentation in a traditional centrally mounted dashboard layout. Interior finishes are period-correct and nicely preserved, showing minimal wear consistent with the car’s mileage and long-term care. The original shift lever and toggle switches remain intact, contributing to the authentic classic experience.

Power is delivered by the venerable 4.2-liter inline-six, known for its smooth power delivery and robust torque. The engine is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, and the car is described as being in excellent mechanical condition, providing the dynamic, connected driving experience the E-Type is celebrated for. The underpinnings feature independent suspension front and rear, and four-wheel disc brakes as standard.
