Further info:
Though over 70,000 E-Types were manufactured all told, a high percentage were exported to the USA, and it's intriguing to note that just 1,583 Series 1 4.2 Coupes were produced in right-hand drive form; of which the sale car is one. 'FDM 493C' vacated the Browns Lane production line on June 2nd 1965, was dispatched to Henly's of Manchester three weeks later, and first registered in the nearby county of Flintshire. Then, as now, it was finished in Metallic Silver Blue. The vendor informs us that the Jaguar has had just three keepers since 1991 and regards the indicated mileage of 86,200 as being substantiated by the 19 old MOTs and large collection of invoices that comprise the E-Type's history file. Among them are two from the Vicarage Motor Company for the fitting of a stainless steel exhaust and carburettor overhaul (2009) and distributor refurbishment (2013) respectively. The vendor views the bodywork, paintwork, Black interior trim, XK 4.2 litre engine and four-speed manual gearbox as all being in 'good' condition, and is selling the car with Heritage Certificate and MOT to December 2nd.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
