Dating from 1971, the chassis number on this right-hand drive, Series 2 Coupé indicates that it was one of the last few dozen S2 Coupés built, immediately prior to the arrival of the Series 3. We understand that it was subject to a bodywork restoration in the early 2000s and refinished in Warwick Grey although the red leather interior appears to be original. The history file contains a photographic record of the restoration.

The Jaguar was purchased by our vendor in 2013 and there is an invoice in the file from Bishops of Peterborough dated 30th September 2013 covering various items including the fitting of a flat-bottomed Moto-Lita steering wheel and boss (£276) to make getting in and out easier. Bishops have continued to look after the car and there are a further three invoices in the file from them totalling £3,023.

This is a charming example of a late-production S2, nicely mellowed with an original interior and is on offer without Reserve. Running and driving, it wouldn't need much to take it to the next level and is well worth your close inspection.
