£51,000 - 59,000

This wonderfully preserved Series 1 E-Type coupe is a highly appealing machine, handsomely finished in the rare black over colored color-combination that suits the coupe perfectly. The original red leather interior is fully intact and displays a wonderful rich patina. Don't let the originality of this car fool you - this is a fully sorted out car. Under the hood shows a very tidy and clean engine that has been the recipient of extensive service work. The silky smooth engine has strong performance and the chassis has the buttery smooth feel that few restored cars ever do. The car was in the ownership of an expert Jaguar technician for many years. A perfectionist about the mechanical details, great effort went in to make sure the car drove as well as it possibly could.

The body has likely seen a respray many years back but has mellowed to the point that it complements the originality of the car perfectly. Close examination shows the original radio and speakers still fitted and no injustices done to its so appealing original interior. A look in the boot shows the complete original tool kit and jack as well as the original Dunlop spare that appears to have never touched the road.

Some cars just come together well. This Jag, with its great originality, wonderful color combination and fully sorted out mechanical condition is a very appealing E-Type indeed.

Footnotes
Please note this car is titled as a 1967.

The first owner used the E-type until the mid-1970's when it was put into storage. It remained in storage until circa 2011 and its 2nd ownership. At this time, all mechanical components were meticulously refurbished but with an eye towards preserving the originality and integrity of the car overall.

An automobile can always be restored, but this level of superb originality is a rare find due to the care that must be taken by all of its custodians from new. It is a truly unmolested Jaguar E-type.
