1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster

I’M INTERESTED

Introduction

Dom Ginn

Professional Consigner

Few cars are as instantly recognisable as the Jaguar E-Type, and this 1969 Roadster combines those famous lines with a number of carefully considered mechanical improvements.

Finished in a deep blue over a contrasting red interior, the car presents extremely well while remaining very much a classic to be driven and enjoyed.

Before Anthony bought the car, it was off the road for around twenty years, and since purchasing in 2020, Anthony has invested in recommissioning the car, including a replacement clutch and flywheel, stainless steel exhaust, aluminium radiator, electronic ignition and upgraded Coopercraft brakes.

Anthony describes the car as mechanically faultless, with a strong engine, smooth four-speed gearbox and no unwanted knocks or rattles. It isn't presented as a concours example, but rather as an attractive and well-sorted E-Type that can be used as intended.

This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Anthony the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

I’ve owned the E-Type since 2020 and, after enjoying it for the past six years, I simply fancy a change.

Anthony is a lifelong classic car enthusiast, having owned around 20 to 30 classics over the years. During his ownership, he has focused on making the E-Type a dependable and enjoyable car to use, carrying out a number of worthwhile mechanical improvements.

Anthony tells us that he's never driven the car in the rain and only used in the summer.

Anthony now feels his next classic may well be his last, making this the right time for someone else to enjoy the Jaguar and will be happy to answer any questions in the comments section below.

EXTERIOR VIDEO

Exterior

Finished in a rich dark blue, this E-Type presents very well overall, with its chrome detailing and wire wheels complementing the unmistakable Series 2 bodywork.

Wheels and Tyres

The Jaguar sits on a set of traditional chrome wire wheels, which present very well and suit the car perfectly.

The Dunlop tyres appear in good condition with excellent tread.

Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition. Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.

Bodywork

The bodywork appears to be in good condition overall. From our visit, the panels present well, with the E-Type retaining its elegant lines and distinctive proportions - the shut lines look very good across the car.

This isn't being presented as a concours example, but rather as a smart and usable classic that can be driven and enjoyed.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our hi-resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view at what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

Paint

The car is presented in it's original colour, Dark Blue, as confirmed in the Heritage Certificate and the paintwork gives the Jaguar a particularly sophisticated appearance and shows off the curves of the body beautifully.

It presents with a strong gloss overall, with some very minor age and use-related imperfections to be expected from a classic that has been enjoyed rather than kept purely for show.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these hi-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The exterior brightwork presents particularly well, including the chrome bumpers, light surrounds, windscreen frame and other detailing.

The visible glass also appears clear and in good order, while the folding hood and its associated trim are present.

Please view the photos and video below to review the condition of the glass and trim for yourself.

INTERIOR VIDEO

Interior

The red interior provides a striking contrast against the dark blue bodywork, retaining the wonderfully traditional and driver-focused character of the E-Type.

Seats and Carpets

The red leather seats present well overall, displaying some natural patina and signs of use in keeping with the car's age.

Matching red carpets continue through the cabin, complemented by the coordinating door cards, transmission tunnel and centre armrest.

Please take a look at the photos and video below to decide on the condition of the seats and carpets for yourself.

Dashboard

The dashboard retains its classic arrangement of Smiths instrumentation, auxiliary gauges and distinctive bank of switches.

The instruments and controls present well, and Anthony reports that the switches and electrics are working as expected, with the exception of the dashboard clock.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

A wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of the main instrumentation and makes a particularly attractive period feature.

The four-speed manual gearbox is operated through the centrally mounted gear lever.

'ON THE ROAD' VIDEO

Mechanics

The E-Type’s mechanical package delivers the performance and character expected of Jaguar’s iconic sports car, with this example benefiting from several sensible upgrades focused on reliability and usability.

Engine and Gearbox

The straight-six engine is reported to be mechanically excellent, pulling strongly and running smoothly with no unwanted noises. Since purchasing the car, Anthony has fitted electronic ignition, a new aluminium radiator and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Anthony tells us that with the aluminium radiator the water temperature has never exceeded normal, so no overheating issues. He also tells us the car uses very little oil.

The four-speed manual gearbox operates smoothly, while a replacement clutch and flywheel have also been fitted during Anthony’s ownership.

Suspension and Brakes

The suspension feels firm on the road, as expected from an E-Type, but remains comfortable and composed with no unwanted knocks or rattles reported.

The braking system has been upgraded with Coopercraft brakes, providing reassuring stopping performance and complementing the car’s usable nature.

The Drive

Out on the road, the E-Type feels strong, engaging and well sorted. The engine pulls eagerly, the four-speed gearbox changes smoothly and the suspension provides a reassuringly planted feel without compromising comfort.

Anthony describes the car as mechanically faultless, and its combination of sensible upgrades makes this an E-Type that can be driven and enjoyed rather than simply admired.

Electrics and Other

The electrical equipment and dashboard switches are reported to operate as they should, with one known exception: the dashboard clock is currently not working.

Electronic ignition and the upgraded aluminium radiator further improve the car’s usability, particularly for an owner looking to enjoy the E-Type regularly rather than keep it purely for display.

The car has a battery isolator switch and ignition immobiliser.

VIEW ALL

History and Paperwork

The E-Type is accompanied by a good history file, helping to document the care and investment it has received over the years.

The paperwork includes a number of substantial invoices detailing the work carried out during Anthony’s ownership since 2020. These help support the recommissioning undertaken, including the replacement clutch and flywheel, stainless steel exhaust, aluminium radiator, electronic ignition and upgraded Coopercraft brakes.

Together, the records demonstrate the considerable investment made in turning the E-Type into the well-sorted and usable classic it is today.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPI that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bid/s, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.

Hi. The car is located in NW London. To my knowledge there is no body corrosion as can be seen from the photos. Apart from the clock not working I’m not aware of any faults or imminent expenditure.
Thanks for looking

Hi
In photo number Six of the Exterior photos, it clearly shows irregularity or damage to the windscreen.
Can you tell me please what your assessment of the damage is?
Thanks

I think you are referring to the delamination in the near side corner of the windscreen. I believe the windscreen is original so never considered replacing it.

Hi Tony
There appears to be a liberal coating of an “Underseal” type of paint to the underneath of the car.
Did you arrange for the application of the coating?
Are you aware of any rust or re-plating prior the application of the coating?
Also the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate indicates the interior trim colour to be beige, can you shed any light on when and why it came to be red?
Thank you in advance

Please refer to the photos with regards to the condition of the car.

Hi Anthony,
i like the look of your 69 E-Type S2? where was the car owned and driven outside the UK before 1982? is there or would it qualify for a Jaguar Heritage certificate as it is so original with 4- speed Gbox etc.
TiA Jeff.

Hi Jeff

I bought the car from a garage in 2020 and was advised that the car spent 20 years plus off the road in France. I spoke to the owner at the time but only had his word for it. I bought the car on originality knowing it needed re-commissioning. Didn’t know it it was out of the country from 1982

Hope that helps

Tony
