Description
Enzo Ferrari famously called the E-Type the most beautiful car ever made, and it's hard to argue. The 1969 Series II brought open headlights without the glass covers of the original, larger air intakes, and other refinements while retaining the long bonnet, flowing roofline, and XK inline six that define the breed. The 2+2 Coupe variant extends the wheelbase to add rear occasional seating, giving it genuine touring practicality without sacrificing the essential E-Type silhouette. This is the automatic variant, originally equipped from the factory as confirmed by the Borg-Warner automatic transmission and the firewall data plate which shows the automatic transmission number. The vendor advises this is a matching-numbers example with engine number 7R365318 stamped on the block.
This car presents with real visual presence. The maroon paintwork shows deep gloss and strong reflections across all body panels, with minor swirl marks visible on the bonnet consistent with polishing rather than damage. Body lines are crisp, panel gaps are even, and the chrome bumpers, headlight surrounds, and brightwork are intact and presentable. The wire-spoke wheels are correctly fitted with Jaguar knock-off spinners, presenting cleanly with minor age-appropriate patina. A period vinyl roof covering is fitted over the steel roof, which is a common period modification on 2+2 coupes though not factory specification. This vinyl shows age-related creasing and. The cream leather interior is well-preserved, with tan bucket seats showing minimal cracking and the distinctive E-Type gauge cluster, rocker switch bank, and wood-rimmed steering wheel all presenting correctly. The odometer reads a confirmed 52,082 miles, corroborated by the Smiths speedometer photo. The 4.2 litre XK engine bay presents as unrestored but honest, with the finned cam covers and twin SU carburettors in place, and the factory data decal intact under the bonnet.
The Series II E-Type 2+2 is an accessible point of entry into genuine E-Type ownership. Comparable right-hand-drive examples with automatic transmissions in similar driver-quality condition have traded from AUD $80,000 to $130,000 in recent Australian and international sales, with well-documented matching-numbers cars at the higher end. At the guide listed, this represents strong value for a car that can be used, shown, and enjoyed with genuine Jaguar provenance.
