If you’ve spent time around classic cars, you’ll know that some just feel right straight away. The engine note, the gear shift, the way the car rides without a single rattle—this E-Type is one of them. It’s solid, well set up, and clearly been properly looked after.

The Series 2 is often overlooked in favour of the Series 1, but a good S2 like this is frankly the better car to drive.

If you’re after a clean, well-sorted E-Type that’s ready to use, this one’s worth a look.
