Description
Lovely example on offer from long-term family ownership; muscular
stance with wider chrome wheels and tyres; Webasto sunroof and wind
deflector
Dating from December 1969 this rather gorgeous Series 2 E-Type 4.2
Fixed Head Coupe is finished in Carmen Red and sits on a set of wider wire
wheels and wider rubber, which gives the car a more muscular, purposeful
stance.
Under the bonnet, we find
the 265bhp 4.2-litre XK straight-six engine mated to four-speed manual
transmission. The car looked to hold good oil pressure and ran sweetly as we
moved it around for these images.
The Heritage Certificate on
file shows the car was supplied new by Henlys Limited of London and finished in
Light Blue with Dark Blue interior (HPI records a colour change from blue to red
in 2004). We believe the car to be a
matching numbers example.
The history file includes a
selection of bills for works undertaken and parts purchased along with
photographs of some recent works which totalled some £6,575 in April 2024,
including metal repairs to the front and rear wheel
arches.
More historic works documented
on file include removal of the rear subframe in 2009 for refurbishment, new
shocks/springs etc as shown in an array of photographs, a refurbishment of the
carbs in December 2020 costing £610, a thorough clean of the fuel system in June
2020, a Webasto sunroof repair/refurbishment in 2010 and new brake calipers in
2006 to mention but a few bills.
The car has also been fitted
with an alarm and modern radio/CD player and represents a most appealing
proposition for a ‘turn-key’ E-Type 2-seat Fixed Head Coupe that benefits from
significant recent spend and at least 1,000 miles covered by our vendor in the
last 12 months.
