1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2, 4.2L Fixed Head Coupe – Matching Numbers, Heritage Certificate, and High Quality Restoration A rare opportunity to acquire an original right-hand drive, matching numbers Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2L Fixed Head Coupe presented in a beautiful condition and finished in stunning Opalescent Silver Blue, an original factory colour rarely seen. Originally delivered to the UK, this vehicle later moved to South Africa, where it underwent a comprehensive, professional restoration over a 5-year period (2009–2014). I imported the car to Australia, and it has been used sparingly driven on weekends since, ensuring the restoration remains remarkably fresh. The vehicle is currently registered on Jaguar Club plates in Victoria. Key Features: • Matching numbers confirmed by Jaguar Heritage Certificate • Original right-hand drive configuration • Comprehensive restoration (2009–2014) with documentation • Over $100,000 in invoices included in a substantial history folder • Rare but original colour of Opalescent Silver Blue • Beautifully retrimmed beige interior with all gauges functional • Excellent panel fit and straight bodywork Recent Mechanical Refresh (2022–2024), performed with a focus on longevity and sympathetic upgrades while preserving originality: • Engine, gearbox, and differential fully rebuilt • Engine received new pistons, rings, bearings, and head resurfacing • Gearbox rebuilt with new synchro rings, bearings, and thrust washers • Differential rebuilt with new bearings and superior modern seal • Near new clutch (approx. 1,000 miles) • Upgraded front brakes (vented rotors & 4-piston callipers) for modern usability • Carburettors tuned with new jets • Electronic ignition (Ignitor brand) installed for reliable starts • New wire wheels and Dunlop tyres Why This E-Type? This E-Type stands out not only for its mechanical and cosmetic condition and beautiful colour, but also for its documented provenance, integrity, and quality of restoration. It is a car to be driven and enjoyed with confidence, while also being a sound long-term investment as E-types are one of the most iconic British sports cars ever produced. Inspections are welcome. Serious inquiries only, please.
