Motodrome are pleased to offer this gorgeous 1970 Jaguar E-type S2 4.2 2+2 manual. It’s very original, and unlike most, has never been derelict, rebuilt or restored, has had just 2 owners from new, and has a warranted mileage of 79000. Chassis 1R35575 is an original RHD example, first registered 2nd Jan 1970. Her first owner kept her for 6 years and 68000 miles, before being purchased by the last owner in 1978, who cherished it ever since, kept it garaged, and put a further 11000 miles on it. Finished in it’s original colour scheme of Powder Blue with dark blue leather, and equipped with chrome wire wheels (new wheels and tyres fitted in 2020), electronic ignition, stainless exhaust, heated rear screen, and period radio/8 track player (we’re told the 8 track doesn’t work) It's a rare colour, - apparently only 6 UK RHD examples were thus finished. Exterior-wise it doesn’t seem to have ever had a complete respray, (although most if not all areas will have had remedial paintwork) hence after 53 years there are one or two excusable minor blemishes, but the paintwork still looks vibrant as the photos attest. Interior-wise, again, original, bar recent new carpets and the leather has been connollised. Chromework – again, original, so one or two minor pits and marks but still pretty fine. Mechanically – standard, save for electronic ignition with no other mods as far as we’re aware. The rear suspension was rebuilt a few years ago. As above, it’s covered a warranted 79000 miles in the hand of just 2 owners from new, and comes with a sheaf of bills from the 1978-2023 ownership, and old MOT’s back to 1978. I’ve a real soft spot for originality, and this iconic car has that in spades, and is a credit to it’s last Devon owner who’s clearly loved it for over 44 years. When was the last time you saw one with this provenance? My first classic car experience was as a six year old boy, being taken out in a midnight blue E-type S2 OTS, and, whilst this is a 2+2 (so as an adult at least I can fit in it) driving this fine example brings memories flooding back. It drives just the way you’d expect, ie delightfully. You don't often see a two-owner, low mileage one these days - it's the sort of car with a certain 'something' about it - never having been apart, it feels just as it must have done when it left Browns Lane in 1970 On our own website, you’ll find our usual two videos: a walkaround appraisal, and driving impressions, both of this particular example.
