1969 4.2 LITRE JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES II ROADSTER
Registration No. ANK 946G
Chassis No. 1R 9218
Engine No. 7R 2840-9
Red with black interior
Engine: six cylinder in-line, double overhead camshaft, 4,235cc, 171bhp at 5,400rpm; Gearbox: four speed manual; Brakes: disc all round; Suspension: front, independent torsion bar, rear, independent coil. Left hand drive.
When Jaguar unveiled their stunning E-Type sports car in 1961, it offered utterly sensational looks and performance along with incredible value for money. Using a moncoque chassis centre-section and tubular engine bay subframe, it derived directly from the immortal D-Type sports racing car which had won the charismatic Le Mans 24-hour race on three consecutive occasions, 1955-56-57.
The engine of the original series 3.8 litre was that developed for the preceding XK150S. This was enlarged to 4.2 litres in 1964 and was built around a new cylinder block with altered bore spacings. The adoption of this engine was accompanied by the introduction of a new all-synchromesh gearbox and an improved brake servo system. In 1968 the Series II body style was introduced, largely in deference to American export market requirements, with restyled nose and tail, and US regulation lights.
This vehicle is believed to have originated in Texas and the mileage of 67,000 is thought to be genuine. There is a large quantity of invoices for work carried out to the vehicle and in 1988 in the region of ¨5,700 was spent on a comprehensive mechanical rebuild including the brakes and suspension. This was then followed by another rebuild in 1992 costing ¨8,500. Work included the removal of the engine and gearbox and the car was stripped to bare metal and repaired where necessary, with particular attention to the bonnet. The gearbox was overhauled with the fitting of new layshafts and bearings, the heater was replaced and much of the wiring was renewed. Both the front and rear suspension was overhauled, again fitting new shock absorbers and bushes where necessary. The fuel tank was also removed and cleaned, many minor parts were repaired or replaced and the engine underwent a thorough 12,000 mile service at the same time. The black leather upholstery is in good condition although there is a small tear in the drivers seat. The paintwork is presentable although it does have a few blemishes on close inspection. This roadster has covered less than 3,000 miles since 1988 and on a recent test drive performed well. It is still currently taxed.
