"E" type 4.2 series 2
(1969-1970)
| The
"E" type 4.2 series 2 came in OTS (Open Two
Seater), FHC (Fixed Head Coupe) and 2+2 versions. The
outer appearance of the car changed: bigger bumpers,
larger 'mouth' for extra cooling and to accustom the
optional airconditioner, larger taillights located below
the bumper, frontlights 2 inches moved forward. The
brakes were uprated, a dual cooling fan fitted.
Powersteering was now available as an option on all
models. The 2+2's front screen was altered by changing
the rake to give a smoother look. The engine on USA bound
versions was de-tuned as a result of various emission
control measures. Nowadays the series 2 is consired the least
attractive "E" type, although it is certainly
the more 'sensible' car (if one can say such a thing of
an "E" type...) |
