One of just 1,040 righthand drive Series 2 E-Type 2+2 Coupes produced, 'XGB 381J' vacated the Browns Lane production line in August 1970 and was supplied new to its first owner, Duncan Johnston Ltd, by Richies of Glasgow. It remained in the same family ownership from 1983 to 2017 and currently indicates a total of 92,000 miles from new. The Jaguar's Red bodywork is teamed with a Beige leather interior and its specification includes electronic ignition, automatic transmission and a sunroof. Ongoing maintenance has included a service and attention to the braking system in 2017, and the car is now being offered complete with Heritage Certificate and a collection of old invoices and MOTs, plus a current one valid into March 2020. Introduced in 1966, the 2+2 version of the E-Type was nine inches longer, featured a more vertical windscreen, and came complete with a pair of small rear seats and a notably airy feel.
