1971 Jaguar E-Type Coupe

Auburn Fall 2026

VIN P2R28098

One of the finest restored E-Type coupes

Extensive and highly documented 10-year restoration

Complete numbers-matching drivetrain

Highly attractive Signal Red over a beige trimmed cabin

AACA National Senior Award winner

Accompanied by a massive grouping of eight binders documenting ownership history, the entire restoration, service records, and manuals

One of the finest E-Type Jaguar coupes, this striking example is the recipient of a highly documented, comprehensive restoration that took close to ten years to complete. A true labor of love, Doug Ehmann, a skilled restorer and devoted Jaguar enthusiast, didn’t just want any E-Type, he wanted the very best. Taking a reported 2,350 hours, every single part, component, and item was disassembled, cleaned, replaced, or restored. The elegant body was left to Ron Yearger to find every little imperfection and smooth it out to better-than-new condition. The body was painted Signal Red by Mark Gregory at East Coast Restorations while the bumpers and trim were re-chromed by Librandi’s Custom Chrome Plating in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Rounding out its appearance, a new beige upholstery kit by Suffolk & Turley was chosen and the comfortable seats were retrimmed in leather by Classic Jaguar.

Documented by its accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, the numbers-matching 4.2-litre inline-six motor was completely disassembled. An original-appearing newer head from a Jaguar XJ6 was installed for better performance, as the head has larger valves. An all-new CoolCat radiator and Bell stainless-steel exhaust system were also installed. The fuel system was completely rebuilt and a new fuel tank, fuel pump, lines, and fittings were added. With every single part tended to, the final assembly of the engine was entrusted to Lippincott’s Garage, a Jaguar-specific restoration shop. Much like the rest of the car, the front and rear suspension was completely rebuilt with new bearings, seals, bushings, shock absorbers, tie rods, and a whole new braking system was mounted; a fantastic outcome allowing for the next owner to acquire a ready-to-be-driven Jaguar.

Completed in 2020, this E-Type was featured in the Jaguar Journal, the publication of the Jaguar Club of North America and would win an AACA Senior award in 2021. Extensively documented, this Jaguar is accompanied by a massive grouping of items that includes eight full binders outlining ownership history, the entire restoration process, servicing, invoice records, and marque manuals.

Meticulously restored, comprehensively documented, and retaining its numbers-matching drivetrain, this outstanding E-Type stands as one of Britain's most celebrated sports cars, that will be equally admired at future judged events, JCNA gatherings, or while in motion sprinting down straightaways or winding backroads.
