Buying a 1969 Jaguar E Type 2+2 Coupe

The 1969 model-year was an important stepping-stone in the history of the Jaguar E Type, as it was the first release of the widely anticipated Series 2 E Type. Now complete with all the modifications and changes necessary to meet the demands of new emissions and safety regulations in the United States, the Series 2 E Type would be manufactured from 1969 to 9171. Recognizable by their larger front grille opening and the repositioning of the front signal lights, the 1969 Jaguar E Type 2+2 Coupe would also offer upgraded brakes and new radial tires. Similarly, some of the changes that had happened in previous model-years also stuck around. The new switches inside the cabin were kept, as was the new collapsible steering column. Air conditioning as a factory option also became available during this year. As time progressed, the 2+2 Coupe configuration also became more accepted by buyers and sales began to rise. Elongated slightly to add additional seats in the rear, the 2+2 Coupe would make an already dramatic curvature even more appealing.
