Lot details Registration No: KKU999F Chassis No: 1E-51271
- 1 of just 404 so-called Series 1.5 4.2 2+2 cars made
- Only three previous keepers and a credible but unwarranted 85,000 recorded miles
- Manual gearbox and stated to 'drive superbly'
In 1967/68, a small number of Jaguar E-Types were sold with some of the Series 2 advancements. Unofficially known as the 'Series 1.5' cars, such practicalities as adjustable seats and twin cooling fans were in, while cowled headlamps were out.
This 'home market' RHD 1968 4.2 Series 1.5 2+2-seater is reportedly just one of 404 built and so a very rare find. The vendor states that it 'drives superbly' and its 'engine pulls smoothly through the rev range and through all gears'. With only three previous owners including the vendor, the Red coachwork and original Black leather interior are described as being in 'good condition'. The car shows 85,000 miles, a credible figure apparently supported by old MOTs and invoices. The car passed an MOT in November 2017 (now MOT exempt) and hasn't been used since, the vendor noting that the car is 'totally sound underneath' and has the potential to be improved further by a new, enthusiast owner.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
