Sellers comment:
Road-ready TRI-POWER 1969 4.2L E-Type 2+2 with rare factory 4-speed and air. Many updates to improve performance and driveability: E-Type Series I SU Tri-Power; Spax shocks; rotary A/C compressor; (5) new Michelins; Griffin aluminum radiator; sway bar; SIII XJ-6 rear brakes; 3.05:1 rear end. Mechanically restored throughout; 10K miles on restoration. Runs all day long at 80 mph. A fantastic everyday driver at less cost than a used Taurus. This is a must-see. Original interior shows patina of age---new owner may want to restore, but I didn't. Car in San Diego County, CAl. Low reserve. Terms are 10% non-refundable deposit by certified check within 7 days of winning bid; balance due in cash or certified check upon delivery within 14 days of close. Will deliver within 150 miles of San Diego, CA free...otherwise new owner must arrange pick-up or shipment. Thanks for your bid!

Vehicle Condition
Superb condition, but not 100 point JCNA. Minor parking lot ding here and there. An outstanding driver and head-turner. Everything works as it should. Interior might stand restoration, but not necessary. Buy and drive trouble free for many years!

Classified ad price $49,995, seller autobarn_classic_cars, car now in Concord, North Carolina, 20k miles, previously Escondido, California

Seller's description:

Proper versions of these coupes are quite rare on the resale market and this beautiful 1969 E-Type is an impressive example of the 2+2 model. The current owner has possessed the Jag for the past 23 years and has a log book/receipts dating back to 2003. It has been impeccably maintained and is in overall outstanding condition. The Regency Red (factory color) exterior was carefully refinished and is in excellent nick. Handsome accents include nice chrome/stainless, eye-catching dual exhaust and distinctive 15" chrome wheels with Uniroyal radials. The stately interior rivals the exterior. Front seating was reupholstered in English leather in 2020 and comfort features include air conditioning, tinted windows, telescopic wheel and a Pioneer Premier AM/FM/CD sound system. The owner has also installed a Compustar security system.

Under the hood, the XKE features a rebuilt (2005) 4.2-liter DOHC inline-six cylinder engine that utilizes a cast iron block, aluminum cylinder head and triple Series-1 SU HS8 side-draft carburetors. Spark is provided by a Mallory Unilite electronic distributor and cooling is managed by a Griffin aluminum radiator with electric fan. This silky six-cylinder motor produces 245hp and 260lb/ft of torque and is mated to an all-syncro 4-speed manual transmission and Series-3 XJ-6 differential with 3.05:1 gearing. A clean chassis is equipped with rebuilt rack/pinion steering, 4-wheel disc brakes, Spax adjustable air-shocks and sway bars. While certain purists favor the earlier Series-1 models, the Series-2 offers greater practicality and comfort, making it an excellent blend of British charm, sports car performance and everyday usability. This classic 1969 E-Type 2+2 will provide all the driving fun you need. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS"
