At the Geneva Motor Show in 1961 Jaguar surprised the world with the E-type. In 1965 the 4.2-litre version arrived boasting a more user-friendly gearbox with synchromesh on 1st gear alongside the bigger, torquier engine. Proposed changes in United States automobile legislation would eventually result in the revised Series 2 announced in October 1968, though modifications began to be phased in during 1967. Over time experience and a worldwide market dictated many changes in the sublimely beautiful E-type Jaguar, culminating in 1968 with the introduction of the Series II. The evolution of the E-type meant buyers of the Series II got a much better, more adaptable, comfortable and reliable Jaguar, attributes that complemented its already well-established reputation for superior performance, road holding, ride and appearance.
Externally the Series 2 was readily identifiable by its larger sidelights, raised bumpers, deleted headlight covers, twin reversing lights, and square rear number plate, while the interior was revised with rocker-type dashboard switches, new seats, and a collapsible steering column. Beneath the skin, Ad-West power steering, Girling brake calipers, and an up-rated radiator were among the many Series 2 improvements. The attributes that made the Series II E-type so successful are abundantly evident in this stunning 1969 Fixed Head Coupe.
