Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series II FHC

This 1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series II fixed-head coupe is offered as an unfinished restoration project rather than a ready-to-drive car. It was first registered in New York in 1969 and brought back to the UK in 2013, in a condition the dealer describes as challenging.

The restoration was taken on by a former military marine engineer and is described as more than 95% complete. The restoration file holds invoices for parts totalling well over £100,000. The dealer puts the likely cost including labour at more than £200,000. The suspension has been replaced in full and set to the correct ride height, though it may need adjusting after a proper road test.

The engine has been started and is said to hold excellent oil pressure, without the timing chain rattle common to these engines. The dealer says it will keep improving the car until it sells, and that the asking price will rise as more work is done. The page gives no mileage, so the 0 shown is not a confirmed odometer reading.
