1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

Sold for £73,125

(including buyers premium)


Lot details
Registration No: ETJ695F
Chassis No: 1E21587
Mot Expiry: April 2020

- Five owners from new (though, the third and fourth were mother and son)

- Replacement inner / outer sills and floors during early 2000s plus full respray in 2013

- The fourth of just 375 so-called Series 1.5 RHD FHCs made, MOT'd till April 2020

With its flowing lines and wonderful 4,235cc 6-cylinder overhead camshaft engine, the 'Series 1.5' Jaguar E-Type fixed-head coupe has to be one of the finest sporting cars of its era. This original home market E-Type 4.2 FHC with matching numbers and a detailed history has benefitted from regular use and demands close inspection. It is the fourth of just 375 right-hand drive examples built and has a stylish colour combination of dark blue with red interior. It has a fascinating history with continuous ownership records of just five people since new (including a mother and son), the current owner having maintained the vehicle since 1981.

A regular sight at Jaguar Enthusiast events, the vendor states the car has benefitted from significant mechanical and cosmetic attention whilst being regularly used. The matching numbers engine was reportedly overhauled in the 1980s, and in recent years tappet clearances, compression and vacuum were all checked and found to be within specification. The carburettors have been overhauled, ignition components replaced, and a stainless exhaust fitted. Many of the 'issues' associated with this model have already been addressed: the cooling system has been improved with carbon fibre pipes, a new fan motor fitted, water pump overhauled, and the stub axles and wheel bearings were replaced.

Other sensible amendments have been made: rigid fuel, clutch and brake lines have been replaced with copper and the hydraulic brake actuators refurbished in the last ten years. The sills and floors were replaced in the early 2000s, and the car benefitted from a professional respray in 2013 and the bumpers were re-chromed. Both gearbox and differential are sealed, with no evidence they have been touched since new. The vendor now describes the engine, bodywork, paint, electricals and interior all as being in 'very good' condition, and the car comes with a Heritage Certificate and MOT until April 2020.
 

All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
