Description
For sale is a rare and exceptional collector's piece: a 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Coupe 4. 2L. This vehicle has been meticulously restored and is in impeccable condition, with only 4, 600 kilometers traveled since its complete restoration.
Originally from the United States, this Jaguar was delivered new to New York in February 1970, and it is currently in the hands of its third owner. Its condition is superb, with a body painted in a stunning midnight blue shade, paired with a cinnamon interior. This color combination gives it an elegant and timeless look.
Under the hood, this Jaguar is powered by a 4. 2-liter inline-six engine, equipped with three twin-choke Weber carburetors, producing 265 horsepower. This engine provides remarkable performance, with a torque of 384 Nm, a top speed of 241 km/ h, and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/ h in just 6. 4 seconds. Additionally, the 4-speed manual gearbox operates perfectly, allowing for smooth and precise gear shifts.
The restoration of this Jaguar was carried out with great care, including the overhaul and complete restoration of all mechanical components, such as the steering, clutch, engine block, carburetion, as well as the installation of a new wiring harness. The engine has been completely restored, with new pistons and valves, cylinder honing, and a machined cylinder head. Similarly, the braking system has been fully revised, with new discs and calipers. The suspension has also been carefully restored, with new shock absorbers.
Many enhancements have been made to this Jaguar, including the installation of three Weber carburetors for increased power, as well as an automatic-trigger electric fan to maintain stable engine temperature even in the most demanding driving conditions.
The exterior of the car features outstanding finishing, with a new paint job done in 2020, chrome parts refurbished, and 15-inch wire wheels equipped with VREDESTEIN Classic tires. The undercarriage is particularly sound and free of corrosion.
