Car to be at auction 3/16

Auction description:
Lot 67
1969 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Coupé
Registration no. JSA 408G Chassis no. 1R 26061 Engine no. 7R 4214-9
£60,000 - 70,000
US$ 85,000 - 99,000
Auction 23589:
Goodwood Members' Meeting
13:00 GMT
Chichester, Goodwood

This US-specification Series 2 Coupé was despatched to Jaguar's New York distributor on 6th May 1969, and was originally finished in Sable with Beige interior. Nothing else is known of its history prior to 2010 when the car was restored by British Auto Specialists of Alberta, Canada. Documentation on file details the work carried out on the body, interior, engine, clutch, differential, brakes, etc, and there is also an invoice for the five-speed manual gearbox (believed to be a Getrag). Bills on file total some $164,000 (approximately £113,000 at the current rate of exchange) and the car also comes with a Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, which confirms the car as still being fitted with its original engine, V5C registration document and current MoT.

Car to return to auction 4/17
www.barons-auctions.com/auction_details.php

Auction description: E Type Series 2
First Registered: 1969
Registration No: JSA 408G
Mileometer: 61961
Chassis No: 1R26061
MOT: To Be Advised
Colour: British Racing Green

Manufactured on 1 April 1969 for shipment to British Leyland (Jaguar Cars) USA on 6 May 1969. The vendor describes this matching numbers car that was recently restored to an exceptionally high quality and is fully documented the costs of which exceed $164,000. The fastidious previous owner spared no expense in the restoration and maintenance of this car which has resulted in a car that drives and handles and it would have when new. There is a comprehensive history file on the car dating back to 1969.

To aid drivability a 5 speed gearbox has been fitted which gives the car the relaxing benefits of a modern car with a lower engine speed and better fuel economy without compromising the characteristics of a powerful classic sports tourer.

Finished in the classic colours of British Racing Green with a complementing beige interior this is the archetypal British sports tourer.

Guide Price: £95,000 to £110,000

Auction description:
Registration Date 1969
Make & Model Jaguar E-Type S2 4.2 Coupe
Colour British Racing Green
Registration Number JSA 408G
Chassis No. 1R26061
Engine size 4,235 cc
Engine No. 7R4214-9
Documents V5C; due to have a new MOT; 3 old MOTs; good history file from new; restoration invoices etc
Estimate £60,000 - £65,000

First registered in May 1969, it had just one lady owner for the first 34 years of its life (Barbara Jean Hambly of California) and comes with a good history file to document regular upkeep throughout this time. From 1998 onwards it appears to have been kept in storage at which time it had covered some 54,749 miles, as certified by documentation on file.

In 2003 it moved to Canada where, in 2010, it was treated to a major restoration by British Auto Specialists of Calgary with bills on file amounting to over $164,000 (£92k). As you can see, the work has been done to a very high standard and included the fitment of a 5-speed manual gearbox. A few more invoices attest to light use in Canada over the next few years, the car finally coming back to the UK in June 2015 and being registered here as JSA 408G.

Still showing only 62,000 miles on the clock which is almost certainly correct, it remains in spectacular condition throughout, a ramp inspection (and photos on our website) proving that it is as shiny underneath as it is up top and still retains its original engine, making it a 'matching numbers' machine. Said to drive as well as it looks, it certainly went beautifully when we were treated to a short test drive on the occasion of our visit.

Due to have a new MOT in time for the sale, it has also has three old MOTs on file (all with no advisories), the aforementioned service history and restoration invoices plus a Heritage Certificate. Ideal for Continental touring, it could be converted to RHD if desired using a kit of parts readily available from the many specialists who serve this model.

A peach of a car in all departments, it looks sensational value at the sensible guide price suggested and is sure to bring a great deal of pleasure to its fortunate new owner for many years to come.
