Auction description:

Lot 302

1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES II 4.2-LITER FIXED HEAD COUPE

Chassis no. P1R28035

Engine no. 7R12146-9

Without reserve

US$ 90,000 - 110,000 £53,000 - 64,000

Sold at $50,000 plus commission of 10.00%; Final Price $55,000.

This exceptional and unique Series II E-Type has been restored to a very high standard and upgraded with a view to extracting maximum performance while keeping the car all-Jaguar. Owned by a Jaguar restorer who finished the car to exhibit his shop's considerable capabilities, no expense was spared on the project.

Finished in an attractive British Racing Green over a tan leather interior, the car appears very fresh; a recent paint job has seen fewer than 200 road miles. The rarely seen "P" prefix on the chassis number serves to denote that this Series II was originally equipped with power steering. Under the long hood reveals an immaculate engine bay and a motor that has been massaged to its full potential. With triple carburetors, stainless steel headers and exhaust system, and plenty of internal modifications such as a lightened flywheel, this 4.2-liter has some real bite. To cope with the added power, the suspension and brakes have been upgraded for maximum handling performance, with Spax adjustable gas dampers and stainless steel brake calipers, among other modifications. The aesthetic appearance of the car remains stock, and the upgrades have been done in a tasteful and reversible manner.

A true labor of love, this Jaguar would be hard to recreate for twice its estimate. With performance well above a standard E-Type, it is sure to be a thrill to drive.

Lot Number 270

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2-Litre Fixed Head Coupe

$75,000 - $100,000

Offered Without ReserveRM | Sotheby's - ARIZONA 16 - 17 JANUARY 2020

Chassis No. 1R 28035

This exceptional Series 2 fixed-head coupe is a fitting example of the model. The E-Type was completed on 15 April 1970 and was originally finished in Regency Red over a black interior. The original distributor was British Leyland in New York, and notably, the car was slated for personal export delivery from Coventry. There it was given the registration mark VWK 46 J and finally dispatched on 24 August. Interestingly, the rarely seen P prefix on the chassis number denotes that this Series 2 was originally equipped with power steering.

Today the Jaguar is finished in traditional British Racing Green over a tan leather interior and appears in excellent condition throughout. Under the hood reveals an immaculate engine bay and the reliable 4.2-liter engine that has been tastefully upgraded to reveal its full potential. It has been equipped with triple carburetors, stainless-steel headers and exhaust system, and several internal modifications such as a lightened flywheel. The suspension and brakes have likewise been upgraded to handle the added power and performance, with Spax adjustable gas dampers and stainless-steel brake calipers, among other modifications. Outwardly, the appearance of the E-Type remains stock, while all upgrades are noted to be reversible.

Given its minimal miles after restoration, as well as its mechanical upgrades, this E-Type would be an absolute thrill to drive and ideal for rallies and vintage driving events.
