It may be the early Series 1 cars that are making the big money but, suitably cornered, most E-Type aficionados will admit that the Series 2 model is a more comfortable, more driveable option. Moreover, as a high percentage of all E-types were exported to America, righthand drive home market versions were produced in relatively small numbers and are therefore now surprisingly few and far between - in the case of the standard wheelbase Series 2 Coupe we are talking about what ever remains of just 1,070 cars.
The notably tidy and highly original example offered was first registered on October 5, 1970 and has had a mere two owners from new, who've amassed just 68,000 miles between them - the first keeper retained the Jaguar for nine years and the second for the subsequent 39, commencing on September 28 1979. 'KOO 100J' is the subject of an older restoration (carried out between 1979 and 1984) but remains in very presentable condition throughout, complete with its original interior trim. It is finished in Regency Red, upholstered in a suitably contrasting shade of Beige leather and rides on shiny chromed wire wheels. A scuttle-mounted telescopic aerial serves a period push-button radio and a set of inertia reel seat belts have been neatly installed in the rear quarter panels. Those who favour cars with a good history file will be knocked out by the one accompanying this car, which is one of the most comprehensive we've seen in a long time and includes the following relating to the last 39 years of ownership: notes covering the body and mechanical restoration; photographic record; detailed notes of every service; a maintenance chart; sales invoices; a hand-written record of all costs incurred; old MOT certificates; a detailed log of every journey undertaken from 1984 onwards; a series of hand drawings.
