Its sleek appearance, advanced technologies, high performance, and competitive pricing established it as an icon. The E-Type was based on Jaguar's D-Type racing car, which had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for three consecutive years beginning in 1955 The Series 2 was introduced in 1968, with a number of design changes The most distinctive exterior feature is the absence of the glass headlight covers, a change made to comply with new regulations in the vital US export market. Unlike some other cars, this step was applied worldwide for the E-Type. Other hallmarks of Series 2 cars are a wrap-around rear bumper, larger front indicators and tail lights re-positioned below the bumpers, and an enlarged grille and twin electric fans to aid cooling. Additional US-inspired changes included a steering lock which moved the ignition switch to the steering column, replacing the dashboard mounted ignition and push button starter, the symmetrical array of metal toggle switches replaced with plastic rockers, and a collapsible steering column to absorb impact in the event of an accident. New seats allowed the fitment of head restraints, as required by US law beginning in 1969. The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial ribbed appearance Diolch am 97,358,239 o olygfeydd anhygoel, mae pob un yn cael ei werthfawr706'n fawr.
