This is a One Owner low Mileage 1969 Jaguar Coupe, 4 Speed. There is no rust on this car except very little under the battery. This car spend most of its live in the garage. The interior is all original and therefore the condition is accordingly but still usable. Engine is in great condition with no mechanical problems. Car drives surprisingly good. The tires are old, paint is good, original color was beige or similar. The car is a driver. Rare 4 speed is much better than automatics. Recent work done included brakes, cleaned carburetors, new battery. Vin is 1R41415 Engine is 7R36713-9, transmission is KJS1499. This is a 40 years old car and will need TLC. We will be on vacation from August 9th to August 29th but will be able to complete this transaction. One thing that the original E-Type Coupe had always lacked was usable interior space, therefore in 1966 a longer two-plus-two coupe (2+2) version appeared. The E-type 2+2 Coupe used the new 4.2 XKE Engine which for the first time could be specified with an automatic gearbox in place of the usual manual unit. To accommodate the extra seats the E-types body had to be stretched by a further 9 inches. In reality these extra seat were only suitable for small children, although they could also be folded down to increase luggage space. Today these 2+2 E-types are considered to be more practical.
