This was my grandfather's car in the early seventies. I've added a photo of a photo of the car in period, but at some point I hope to scan that photo in for a better quality.

This 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2+2 is an original UK-supplied right-hand drive example first registered on 29th May 1970 by the renowned Henlys of London.

Built on 1st April 1970, this highly desirable E-Type retains its original matching chassis, body, engine and gearbox numbers, further supported by an accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate. The attractive registration number KRC 14 is included with the vehicle.

Powered by the legendary 4,235cc six-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox, this elegant example is presented in Cream with a black leather interior, a timeless colour combination that perfectly complements the E-Type's iconic styling.

The car has had just three former keepers and has been in long-term ownership since October 1978, highlighting the care and enthusiasm of its custodians over the years. The documented ownership history records Mr P.J. Blaikley until December 1976, a brief period of ownership during 1977, followed by Mr K.R. Collins from May 1977 onwards.

In 2010, the car underwent a comprehensive rebuild and restoration, returning it to a very high standard. Following this, the Jaguar was placed into dry storage and remained unused from 2018 onwards. Recognising the importance of maintaining such a special car correctly, it was professionally recommissioned in 2025 at a cost of approximately £6,500 to ensure it was once again ready for road use.

During our time with the vehicle, the E-Type started readily, ran, drove and stopped exactly as one would expect. Overall, it presents in very nice condition throughout and offers its next owner the opportunity to simply get in and enjoy one of Britain's most iconic sports cars, whether on local drives, classic car events or extended European touring adventures.

The new owner will need to apply for a new V5C registration document.
