The E-Type Series 2 cars that were available in 1969, 1970 and 1971 introduced a number of design changes, largely due to U.S. design legislation. The most distinctive exterior feature is the absence of the glass headlight covers, and rear lamps below raised bumpers, and a larger radiator air inlet "mouth." Safety considerations also meant that following 1968's rocker switch introduction, the steering column was made collapsible and headrests were added. A steeper-raked windshield on 2+2 models brought more glass but only two windscreen wipers. A glove-box door was now fitted on all models, together with perforated leather upholstery and newly available power steering. Brakes were new Girling disc brakes with three-piston calipers at the front and two-piston versions at the rear.

A combination steering lock and ignition key was fitted to the steering column, which replaced the dashboard mounted ignition switch and charismatic push button starter. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a stronger, "ribbed" variety. It was de-tuned in the US with twin Strombergs and larger valve clearances, but in the UK retained triple SUs and the much tighter valve clearances. This detuned engine produced 245 hp (183 kW), a drop of 20 hp over the UK version. It is thought a total 18,809 Series 2 E-Types were built.

The vendor advises that this American supplied car, and has been converted to Right Hand Drive. It recently had its engine completely re-built, along with new exhaust manifolds, a new clutch and master cylinder, a new brake servo, and the carburetors have been re-built by Burlem Services. The car also benefits from new brake calipers, discs and brake lines, new fuel lines and fuel pump, new wheels and tyres, a new Bell stainless steel exhaust system, new windscreen, windscreen wiper motor and wipers,new front lights (Halogen H4), and a new power steering rack.

The bodywork has also received attention, including new inner and and outer sills, new floors, new boot floor and rear inner wings. The car also has a complete new interior, has been completely re-wired, has had a bare metal re-spray, and has new chrome fitted. It is said to be rust free. The car has been fitted with a 3.07:1 differential and the speedometer has been re-calibrated to suit.
