Introduction

Phew, you can stop your search now, this is the S2 Roadster you've been looking for - a proper drivers' example that's achingly gorgeous in its eye-popping dark blue and chrome combination.
Of course there's not much to say about an E-Type that hasn't already been written, over and over again, so we'll leave that alone this time in the introduction.
What we will say is that this example is a home market right-hand-drive car that is in great condition and mechanically sound. We drove the car during its consignment and it's one of the best drivers' examples we've been out in for a while.
The car has been fitted with a longer legged 2.88 rear axle improving the car's cruising performance and feeling like an overdrive.
You may be wondering why the guide on this home market car is lower than usual, well the car had a swapped out engine a few decades ago - it wasn't an XJ engine or anything like that, it was a proper E-Type specification / compression that's right for this car, period correct. This was done at a time when the original engine wasn't so important to values, but the good news now is that this change makes driving an stunning E-Type Roadster way more affordable.
This is a proper drivers' car that looks incredible, is in great shape, and can be tinkered with over time to improve further - a solid investment for both your driving and investment pleasure.

Morning all…. so just to say I borrowed the car from Paul yesterday afternoon for a run out to see my dad (he’s 91 and used to have a S2 Roadster back in the day). I did about 40 miles across country and in traffic too with the outside temp being in the late twenties. The car was rock solid and didn’t miss a beat on the 80 mile round trip. Temp was usually a 1/3 in on the gauge and went to 1/2 when in long traffic in Bromsgrove rush hour (about 20 mins to get through at a hot part of the day). Oil pressure was always excellent and around 30+. It went to 20 when in traffic after 30 miles or so on tick over. Super excellent and wish my own S2 FHC was that good. Charging was always positive. The cars drives exceptionally well and on the night drive back I wanted to keep on going. It felt like I could have driven it up to Scotland with no issues. Bottom line is I really like the car and at guide money it’s a bargain. Just wanted to let you know about my experience.
Here’s a quick videos of the trip:
