If you purchase a vehicle in a different country to your own, it may be subject to local duties, sales taxes, or environmental levies when imported. You may find this introductory guide helpful, and our team is also here to help. However, you must investigate any duties or taxes that may be due on top of the purchase price before committing to buy. KEY FACTS This Jaguar E-Type Series 2 4.2 FHC is an iconic classic British sports car, presented in an elegant period-style colour scheme and reportedly benefiting from an extensive restoration. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre straight-six, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Believed to be a US-market example, this left-hand drive E-Type is currently registered in France. The seller reports that the car has undergone a comprehensive restoration, encompassing the engine, gearbox, transmission, wiring loom, front subframe, fuel tank, carpets and exhaust system. The odometer indicates 7,978 km, which is not warranted, and reportedly represents the distance covered since the restoration. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This Series 2 4.2 FHC is finished in the endearing shade of Primrose Yellow, over a tan leather-trimmed interior, featuring a contrasting black dashboard and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 15-inch chromed steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and lips, fitted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a wood-rimmed Lecarra Classic steering wheel, Smiths gauges, an analogue clock, a Pioneer cassette stereo, and heater and ventilation controls. It is accompanied by two ignition keys, a collection of maintenance and parts invoices, a jack and a spare wheel.
