“Sold new by Royal Elysées.”

The E-Type shown here is a model from the 1.5 series, sold new in France by Royal Elysées. Registered in June 1966, it never left France.

In line with all European versions, it is fitted with the 4.2-litre engine and three carburettors. The engine produces 265 bhp, mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox.

The Jaguar is finished in the superb Opalescent Maroon colour and features a brown leather interior. The last owner purchased the car in 2001 whilst it was in the Tarn region.

He maintained it with great care, and numerous invoices are included in the file. The engine has been rebuilt once. Following a period of inactivity, the E-Type will undergo a major service in March 2022.

Today it is in magnificent original condition, with paint imperfections that give it a certain charm. This patina, as we know, is inimitable.
