The Jaguar E-Type Series 2 (1968–1971) remains one of the most admired classic sports cars of its era – valued for its blend of timeless design, strong mechanical heritage, and everyday drivability, with steady interest from collectors and users of CarClimb.
While it lacked some of the purity of the earlier Series 1, the Series 2 introduced practical improvements such as better cooling, more comfortable seating, and improved braking, making it a more usable classic. Still powered by the robust 4.2L inline-six engine, it retained much of the performance and presence that made the E-Type a global icon.
Offered in roadster, coupe, and 2+2 formats, it appeals to a wide range of enthusiasts seeking a classic that balances style with drivability.
Although values for the Series 2 have remained relatively stable in recent years, its enduring appeal, accessible price point compared to Series 1 models, and strong enthusiast following make it a solid choice for those looking to enjoy classic motoring with long-term collectability.
