Win Our E-Type For £5.00
September 20, 2024
Our 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 is in the 2+2 configuration, meaning it has a stretched wheelbase and the addition of rear seats. While the standard E-Type was a pure two-seater, the 2+2 was designed with a slightly more practical approach in mind, making it a more versatile choice for drivers who wanted the thrill of driving a sports car but also needed the option to carry passengers—or, at the very least, extra luggage.
The 2+2 configuration involved extending the wheelbase by 9 inches compared to the two-seater model. The addition of rear seats also slightly altered the E-Type’s iconic silhouette, giving it a longer, more elongated appearance.
This particular E-Type has been known to us for several years. The Bridge Classic Cars workshop team have maintained this stunning classic since 2021 and it has always been an admired part of the workshop collection and whoever is lucky enough to win it will have a fantastic classic for long road trips.
- 4.2-litre straight six engine
- 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive
- Known and looked after by Bridge Classic Cars since 2021
- Recently completed a 1000-mile road trip from the UK to Spain
- Finished in a stunning dark green with a sand leather interior
- Bridge Classic Cars pre-delivery inspection
