Later variants followed with a 4.2-litre six-cylinder engine that produced up to 265 hp. The Series 2, which was introduced in the late 1960s, featured a 4.2-litre engine that produced up to 246 hp.

        Technik: 1964 wurde der 3,8-Liter-Reihensechszylinder-Motor auf 4,2 Liter (4235 cm³) aufgebohrt, hat damit ein maximales Drehmoment von 384 Nm bei 4000/min bei gleicher Motorleistung (269 PS/197,6 kW bei 5400/min). Gleichzeitig wurde anstelle der Moss-Box mit ihrem unsynchronisierten ersten Gang und langen Schaltwegen ein voll synchronisiertes, von Jaguar selbst entwickeltes Viergang-Schaltgetriebe verwendet. Besonders die Verbesserung der schwach gepolsterten Sitze kam den Jaguar-Fahrern zugute. Die im Konkurrenzgefüge zur Corvette vorgeschobenen amerikanischen Sicherheits- und Umweltbestimmungen machten deutliche Modifikationen des E-Type erforderlich. So erschien 1968 der E-Type Serie II mit vielen Neuerungen. Die nun fehlenden Scheinwerferabdeckungen trafen den Stil der aerodynamischen Konstruktion hart, was damals im Hause Jaguar als Stilbruch angesehen wurde (schon ein Jahr vorher eingeführt bei der nachträglich so genannten Serie 1 ½), wobei die Scheinwerfer ab Serie II auch noch weiter nach vorn versetzt werden mussten, was in der zeitgenössischen Literatur als Desaster bezeichnet wurde und sich bis heute im Liebhabermarkt am erheblichen Wertunterschied widerspiegelt. Hinzu kamen Wippschalter am Armaturenbrett, eine größere Kühleröffnung, ebenfalls größere, jetzt unterhalb der Stoßfänger montierte Blinker- und Rücklichteinheiten und eine flacher stehende Windschutzscheibe beim 2+2.
