The Series 1 2+2 delivers effortless power, breathtaking speed, and unrivalled grand touring luxury.
The E-Type's debut in 1961 fundamentally reshaped the sports car landscape. At the time, comparable exotics from Ferrari or Aston Martin offered similar performance and visual drama, but cost roughly double or triple the price. Jaguar brought supercar styling and genuine 150 mph performance to a significantly broader market, forcing rival manufacturers to rethink both their design languages and pricing structures.
The Series 1 4.2 litre 2+2 is so highly regarded because it combines the pure, iconic styling of the original glass headlight bodywork with a more usable, spacious cabin and superior low-end engine torque; it stands above other E Types as the ultimate real-world grand tourer, offering the perfect balance of classic Series 1 beauty, rear seat practicality, and effortless modern usability that holds up brilliantly on today's roads.
This 1967 Jaguar E-Type 2+2, comes to market from almost 5 years with our vendor, it is finished in red with a black leather interior and comes with an impressive provenance of maintenance, upkeep, and cosmetic work spanning two decades and totalling almost £14,000. It has seen an additional £2,200 of mechanical expenditure under current ownership and has been garaged throughout. It is offered with two sets of keys, the owner's handbook, and MOT certificates dating back to 1996.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting Jim the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
