This is a beautiful, totally distinctive car, the definition
of the word “classic”. From 1968-1971 there were only 5, 326 2+2 Series II
Coupes Produced The list price for the Coupe sold for a higher price than the convertible
In March 2008, the Jaguar E-Type ranked first in
a The Daily Telegraph online list of the world's 100 most
beautiful cars of all time, and in 2004, Sports Car
International magazine placed the E-Type at number one on their list
of Top Sports Cars of the 1960’s.
I have owned
this car for the last 36 years. It
has very low miles, 46, 176. It was
driven regularly for the first ten years and then retired to a show car status, which means it was only driven for parades and jaguar club events. It runs great, looks great!
The series 1 ½ , 2+2 Coupe, benefits from improved looks, better handling, more leg room and a sliding rear seat which converts the car
to a 2 seater with extra luggage space. More leg room provides comfortable seating for the taller person.
The 2+2 coupe features air conditioning with an automatic
transmission. The air conditioning
gives a cooler ride for a hot cat. The automatic transmission provides one great amenity for driving ease
This car has had constant care and feeding. Most parts have been rebuilt and replaced. . The wire
wheels have been rebuilt and re chrome. All new tires The
transmission has been rebuilt. The
flywheel and starter have been replaced. The main bearings on the engine have been replaced( scheduled

rear lights, new bumpers, and new glass in the rear door.
There is no rust on this car, except in the drivers floor
