About the 1968 Jaguar E-Type Roadster
The Series 2 roadster marked a turning point for the E-Type, as federal safety regulations began reshaping Sayer's original vision. Introduced for 1968, these cars featured exposed headlights, larger side markers, and revised interior switches, changes that purists initially resisted but collectors now appreciate for their rarity. The 4.2-liter XK engine was detuned to 246 horsepower to meet emissions standards, while improved cooling and electrical systems enhanced reliability. Despite the power reduction, Series 2 cars offered better build quality and comfort than their predecessors. With only 8,591 roadsters produced through 1971, they're actually rarer than the celebrated Series 1 models. Today's market increasingly recognizes the Series 2's unique position in E-Type evolution, representing the last six-cylinder roadsters before the V12 era began.
