Jaguar E-type 4.2-litre series II Roadster 1970 Chassis no. 1R 12850Launched in October 1964, the 4.2-litre version of Jaguar's sensational E-Type brought with it a more user-friendly all- synchromesh gearbox and superior Lockheed brake servo along with the bigger, torquier engine. Apart from 4.2' badging, the car's external appearance was unchanged but under the skin there were numerous detail improvements, chiefly to the electrical and cooling systems, and to the seating arrangements. Top speed remained the same at around 150mph the main performance gain resulting from the larger engine being improved acceleration. Like its 3.8-litre forbear, the 4.2-litre E- Type was built in roadster and coupe forms. Changes to United States safety and emissions legislation prompted the revised Series II of 1968. The headlight fairings were deleted, enlarged side and rear lights adopted, while a thickened front bumper center section bridged a larger radiator intake. Interior changes included a collapsible steering column and rocker switches in place of the earlier toggles. Finished in black with black interior and equipped with the desirable option of wire wheels, this 4.2-litre Series II Roadster, we are advised has covered just 44000 miles from new. Offered with books and service records. *Note: The engine, brakes and clutch were totally rebuilt at 42,300 miles at Charleston Import Auto., Charleston, SC November 2000. The work and parts are warranted. A new leather interior was installed at the same time to make the car pristine. Everything on the car is working correctly except for the clock. *Noteto purchaser: This car and title will be transferred to the purchaseronce payment has cleared.
