For many, the Series II Jaguar E-Type represents a great combination of design, practicality and value for money. Unveiled in October 1968, the model included improvements in safety and emissions standards to comply with US market regulations, providing such practicalities as fully-reclining seats with headrests, recessed door handles and one-piece bumpers. Under the bonnet, the 4235cc 6-cylinder DOHC was carried over from the previous series but benefitted from improved cooling. The result was a purposeful and practical sports car, especially in the four-seater layout of the 2+2 Coupe.
One of just 1577 examples produced, this rare 'Series 1.5' shares many of the advanced characteristics of the later Series 2 cars. Finished in gleaming Signal Red and complemented by a black leather interior, 'EUG 144F' is understood to have received over £23,000 in improvements over the past twelve or so months. This work included a full respray to the exterior, fitment of new chrome wire wheels / tyres and much attention to the interior using quality 'Aldridge' trim components. Stylish yet practical and ideal for family fun, this true British grand tourer also benefits from a credible recorded low mileage of just 76,000. 'EUG 144F' is offered for sale with a UK V5c registration document and a large selection of photographs showing the various stages of the recent refurbishment work.
