This rare Series 2 is the coveted Open-Two-Seater (OTS) variant, resplendent in a fetching shade of metallic silver. It was originally supplied to the United States in left-hand drive, but following repatriation in 2015, the Jag has undergone an extensive rebuild including conversion to right-hand drive.

The current owner has used the vehicle almost daily, demonstrating its reliability and usability as a classic that can be enjoyed rather than merely displayed. Accompanied by its heritage certificate and comprehensive documentation of work carried out, this E-Type represents an opportunity to acquire a well-sorted example of Jaguar's iconic sports car.

The vendor says:

"The vehicle was bought as a wedding present and is in daily use by myself. Only selling as my wife does not like driving it as the bonnet is too long and it’s too powerful., I will be sorry to see it go myself"
