Jaguar E-Type Series II Fixedhead Coupé 1970

The Jaguar E-Type is a British automobile manufactured by Jaguar between 1961 and 1975. Its combination of good looks, high performance, and competitive pricing established the marque as an icon of 1960s motoring.  A great success for Jaguar, more than 70,000 E-Types were sold during its lifespan. The Jaguar E-Type Series II appeared in 1969, with a number of safety features that had appeared earlier on vehicles built for the U.S. The new model lost its fared-in headlamps, with both larger park/signal lights and larger tail lights beneath the rear bumper. The front air intake also grew, as did the bumpers.  Side clearance lights were a new addition and Girling disc brakes replaced the old Dunlop braking system. Better cooling aided by an enlarged ""mouth"" was also a feature of the Series II E-Type.
