The launch of the Jaguar E type in 1961 caused an immediate sensation and once again William Lyons stood the sports car world on its head. His radical new monocoque chassis came with a sensuous aerodynamic body by in-house stylist Malcolm Sayer.

Over time, experience and worldwide demand dictated many changes in the sublimely beautiful Jaguar E-Type. This culminated in 1968 with the introduction of the Series II. Federal regulations in the USA, Jaguar’s most important export market, drove some of the Series II changes. This included revised lighting and the shift to a pair of carburetors in place of the earlier triple-carb arrangement. The well-proven 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder was little changed, although a higher-capacity water pump helped the E-Type adapt better to warmer climates. Braking was also improved, with larger Girling disc brakes utilizing multi-piston calipers. Inside, more comfortable reclining seats with adjustable headrests were now standard. The Series II marked the maturation of the landmark E-Type and made a great car even better.

Reportedly having received a body off restoration five years ago, this brilliant yellow Jaguar continues to impress. It has retained its original air conditioning components and also received new Dayton wire wheels. The black leather upholstery is like new. Other features include a wood steering wheel, aftermarket AM/FM/CD system, stainless steel exhaust, jack, spare and tool roll. The 4.2-liter engine features dual carburetors and is linked to a four-speed transmission. This Jaguar will surely get the attention of the judges at the next sports car event.
