Auction description:
1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2-Litre Roadster
Chassis no. 1R 9535
Engine no. 7R 5646-9
Without Reserve
Only two owners from new
Exceptionally well-preserved example
Distinctive Willow Green finish
Serviced regularly with accompanying documentation

This 4.2-Litre Roadster is a veritable well-preserved time capsule. The current owner, only the second in the car's 47-year history, purchased the Jaguar in 1972 from Leavens Jaguar in London, Ontario, Canada. The car had been imported new from England to Leavens some time in 1968. The original owner, a Dr. Calhoun, put just 14,000 miles on the car. The odometer today shows 57,292 miles, averaging fewer than 1,200 miles annually. According to the owner, all is original--including wire wheels with knock-off caps--except for tires and upgraded headlights. The car still wears its authentic Jaguar Willow Green finish complemented with dark green leather seats, and a black manual roadster top with a clear rear window. Under the current owner, the roadster has been garaged every winter since acquisition and has been maintained exclusively at Jaguar facilities--comprehensive service receipts and documentation accompany the car, as do a jack, wrench, and the original spare tire. This E-Type was proudly displayed several times at the annual Steve Plunkett Fleetwood Country Cruize-In in London, Ontario.

To anyone for whom the automobile is about the romance of the road combined with a love of enduring design, this Jaguar E-Type is a fine example of a car that ranks among the most important designs ever created.
