Despatched by the factory on March 27th, 1968 to the supplying dealer, Ritchies of Glasgow, this is an original, UK supplied, right-hand drive E-type 4.2, 2+2 Coupé. It's a rare Series 1.5 and was specified with a manual gearbox and finished in Opalescent Silver Blue with a Black interior. It sits on smart silver wire wheels and has a full-length sunroof.

The V5 shows just two previous owners and the Heritage Certificate confirms all the important numbers. The car appears to have been subject to an earlier restoration and remains in very good condition with even shut lines and the paintwork retains a good depth of shine. The entire interior is really well-finished in a distinctive Blue (French/Azure) piped in White and the carpets are Royal Blue. The engine bay looks tidy and well-maintained and the whole car is nicely detailed and looks cared-for. With an MOT until July 2018 this very usable E-type has the bonus of the 2+2 configuration for taller drivers and occasional rear seating. Opalescent Silver Blue is definitely the colour for a sixties' E-type and with values continuing to rise at an unabated rate, this rare Jaguar requires serious consideration.
