For Sale: Jaguar E-Type 4.2 – 1969, Black/Black, 9,452 km, Collector-Grade Condition

The Jaguar E-Type 4.2 is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever built — a masterpiece of British automotive design that continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. This 1969 example, presented in elegant Black with a matching Black interior, embodies the timeless allure and purity of the model’s original spirit.

Showing only 9,452 km, this exceptionally well-preserved E-Type offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly authentic classic in remarkable condition. Under the long sculpted bonnet lies the celebrated 4.2-litre straight-six, delivering 265 bhp (228 rated hp) through a manual gearbox. Its response, balance and unmistakable mechanical charm provide an engaging driving experience that modern vehicles simply cannot replicate.

The silhouette remains iconic: long bonnet, fluid proportions and perfect symmetry that established the E-Type as an instant legend upon its release. Inside, the minimalist Black cabin reflects the sporting elegance of the late 1960s, pairing simplicity, tactile materials and a layout engineered for true driving enthusiasts.

This example is ideal for collectors seeking originality, rarity and a model that represents the golden era of British sports cars. Whether for private collection display or weekend motoring, this E-Type is a standout piece of automotive history.

Model Background

Introduced in 1961, the Jaguar E-Type stunned the world with its performance, beauty and value — even prompting Enzo Ferrari to call it “the most beautiful car ever made.”
The 4.2-litre version, produced later in the decade, refined the original concept with improved torque, updated interior details and enhanced drivability.
Today, well-preserved examples like this 1969 model are increasingly difficult to source, making them highly desirable investment-grade classics.
