The Jaguar E-Type was initially designed and shown to the public
as a grand tourer in two-seater coupé form and as a convertible
roadster. The 2+2 version with a lengthened wheelbase was released
several years later. On its release Enzo Ferrari called the
Jaguar E-Type "The most beautiful car ever made". The model
was made in three distinct versions which are now generally
referred to as 'Series 1'. 'Series 2' and 'Series 3'. The Museum of
Modern Art recognized the significance of the Jaguar E-Type's
design in 1996 by adding a blue roadster to its permanent design
collection. one of only two automobiles to receive this
distinction. Open headlights without glass covers. a
wrap-around rear bumper. re-positioned and larger front indicators
and tail lights below the bumpers. better cooling aided by an
enlarged 'mouth' and twin electric fans. together with uprated
brakes are all hallmarks of Series two cars. The engine is easily
identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers
to a more industrial 'ribbed' appearance. The interior and
dashboard were also re-designed. with rocker switches being
substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost
their symmetrical layout. New seats were fitted. which purists
claim lacked the style of the originals but were certainly more
comfortable and air conditioning and power steering were available
as factory options.

Originally supplied on 16th October 1969 this is a genuine UK
supplied righthand drive roadster. The current vendor has owned
CLC737H for the last 29 years and due to lack of suitable storage
space; has decided it is time to part with the Jaguar. To be
expected of a car in the ownership of one owner for such a long
time. the history file is substantial and this is a perfectly
useable E-Type. for a modest outlay in today's market place. The
white coachwork is in good order. as is the trim. We are advised
the car drives "as she should" and with summer upon us. this could
be the perfect car to buy. Supplied with a V5 registration document
and a current MoT test certificate this 4. 2 Series II Roadster is
sure to attract interest.
