Bonhams : 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2 Coupe Chassis no. 1E30738 Engine no. 7E2280-9

Scottsdale Jan. 2022

This exceptional E-Type 4.2-Liter Coupe benefits from 48 years in single-family ownership, a superb nut- and-bolt restoration recently performed and retaining its original factory matching-numbers engine. The E-Type was finished at Jaguar's Coventry works on February 19, 1965, benefiting from the upgraded,

fully synchronized transmission and larger 4.2-liter XK engine, while still retaining the original E-Type's design featuring the covered headlamps, smaller taillights and toggle switches.

The new Jaguar was shipped on March 4, 1965 to Jaguar Cars New York and onward to British Motors Car Distributors of Portland, Oregon. Its first owner is recorded as a Mr. William B. Martin of Portland. However, it is believed that this black cat was soon returned to BMCD - as Mrs. Martin found the race bread Coupe something of a handful. The car was subsequently resold that November to Mr. and Mrs. William Gilham of Portland. The Gilhams would last register their Jaguar in 1976, and the car was then parked under a cover at the Gilham's property where it would sleep for nearly four decades.

In 2013 the Jaguar was destined for a restoration, at which point, the car had recorded just over 48,000 miles; a figure believed to be the correct total. At that time the car was taken to Tom Black's Garage in Portland, where it was carefully inspected and confirmed to be numbers-matching. There was evidence that the car had sustained a hit to the left front corner many years ago. Damage extended to the left side of the front tubular sub-frame, which had not been correctly repaired. The complex steel front bonnet was replaced with a fiberglass replica, but much of the exterior paint remained original as did the interior.

Purchased at Bonhams 2016 Scottsdale Auction by the consignor, an Atlanta-based Jaguar enthusiast, the E-Type was soon after slotted for a comprehensive restoration, which would bring it back to its stunning, factory-correct Concours condition as seen today. The exceptional body and paintwork was completed by David Ferguson of Images Auto Body in Campbell, California, a leading West Coast Jaguar specialist shop. The body was brought down to bare metal, while the chassis was media blasted. The damaged left hand engine frame was renewed, and a used original steel bonnet was sourced and completely restored. The remainder of the restoration was completed by Richard Jenkins, a noted Atlanta-area Jaguar specialist and longtime Jaguar master technician. The original engine, gearbox, and rear axle were overhauled, while the braking and wiring systems were completely refurbished. Period tires from Longstone Tyres in the UK was fitted and a new interior from BAS Heritage of Palm Springs, California was installed. The original color scheme was retained and appears today as it did when it left Jaguar in February 1965. Photos of the restoration are available in the car's extensive history file, as is a copy of the Heritage Trust Certificate, and a tool roll and jack is situated in the boot. The stunning E-Type Coupe was completed in 2019 and has since been kept in the consignor's climate-controlled collection.

A wonderful example of the legendary Jaguar E-Type, many agree that the Fixed Head Coupe represents the purest form of the model. This matching numbers car, having been stored away for nearly half a century and then treated to a nut-and-bolt restoration, must be one of the best examples available anywhere.

This 1965 Jaguar XKE is a Series I coupe that was refurbished in 2019 and acquired by the selling dealer in October 2022. Work performed during the refurbishment reportedly involved refinishing the body in black, installing replacement black leather upholstery, and overhauls of the engine, transmission, rear axle, brakes, and wiring. The car is powered by a 4.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and additional equipment includes 15″ wire wheels, chrome-finished bumpers, triple SU carburetors, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel. Maintenance carried out in preparation for the sale is said to have included changing the oil and replacing the tires. This XKE is offered by the selling dealer in New York with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, service records, refurbishment photos, a tool kit, and a clean Arizona title.

A refurbishment carried out in 2019 by David Ferguson of Images Auto Body in Campbell, California, involved stripping the body, repairing the left-front subframe, installing a replacement steel bonnet, and refinishing the car in black. Exterior details include chrome-finished bumpers and trim, recessed headlamps with clear covers, a vented hood, a side-opening rear hatch, and central dual exhaust outlets.

Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels feature two-eared knock-offs and wear BFGoodrich whitewall tires that were reportedly installed by the selling dealer. Work performed under previous ownership is said to have included overhauls of the four-wheel disc brakes and rear axle.

Replacement interior components from BAS Heritage of Palm Springs, California, include low-back bucket seats upholstered in black leather along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Equipment includes a heater, chrome-finished handles, an array of toggle switches for vehicle functions, and a wood-rimmed steering wheel.

A mix of Smiths and Lucas instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, and gauges for water temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer displays approximately 49k miles.

The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission, both of which were reportedly overhauled by Richard Jenkins in 2019. The wiring is said to have also been refurbished.

A tool kit is included in the sale along with a binder of service invoices and parts receipts.

The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shows factory colors, a February 19, 1965 build date, and the chassis, engine, body, and gearbox numbers.
