1969 Jaguar E-Type Coupe 2+2 Very original car, Wonderful condition both cosmetically and mechanically, well sorted Vin 1R41396 The Jaguar E-Type is one of the most iconic and beautiful cars ever produced. Its sexy sleek styling puts it in the upper echelon of collector cars. The car on offer here is a 1969 E-Type 2+2 coupe. The car is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically. It was clearly the recipient of substantial restorative work. Including, but not limited to the some of the following work - Interior restoration of seats and carpets. - Exterior paint - Valve job - New alternator - New clutch. - New Distributor We believe this to be an original numbers matching car with the engine and transmission it was born with. Finished in Carmen Red with Black interior, this coupe shows beautifully from every angle. The 4.2-liter motor runs beautifully, and the twin SU carbs (rebuilt) are tuned to perfection. The engine compartment is well detailed. The rebuilt radiator and auxiliary fans do an excellent job of cooling the car. The original, fully synchronized 4-speed manual transmission shifts well, and the clutch engages as it should.The suspension has been rebuilt, and all bushings, rubber, shocks and bearings replaced. The brakes, hydraulics, electrics work well and the fuel system, including the fuel tank and carburettors have been sorted. The car runs and drives as it should, and the engine makes good power and torque. The interior is in excellent condition, including the black leather seats, black carpets and black leather dash. All of the chrome and trim on the car is in good condition, as are the lights, lens and headlights. The car wears beautiful wire wheels, and shod with new B.F Goodrich radial tires. The underside is excellent, solid and shows well, the exhaust system is newer. The spare tire compartment is original and looks great. This car is well sorted, and runs as well as any e-type we have driven. Simply turn the key and the car fires immediately and idles beautifully. The beautiful sound of these cars cannot be overstated. This car gives the wonderful driving experience that only an E-type can deliver. This beautiful E-Type 2+2 coupe runs and drives well, and needs nothing except an enthusiastic new owner!!!
