About the E-Type 2+2

The E-Type 2+2 (1966-1975) added 9 inches to the wheelbase for rear seats. More practical but less pure styling. Auto available. Values from £50k.

Known Issues to Watch For

Engine: XK six (S1/S2) - oil leaks, cooling critical, timing chain, head gasket if overheated. V12 (S3) - generally reliable but complex carburettors (some converted to EFI), overheating if coolant neglected, head gaskets expensive, distributor issues. Cooling: Critical on all E-Types - modern fans recommended. Gearbox: All-synchro from 1965. Earlier Moss box synchros wear. Brakes: Discs all round but inboard rears (S3) can seize. Servo issues. Body: Monocoque steel - rust in sills, floors, inner wings, bonnet frame, boot floor critical. Bonnet fit notoriously difficult. Electrics: Lucas issues. Budget £8-15k annually.
