About this car

This is a 1966 Series 1 E-Type Roadster with the 4.2-litre six and a manual gearbox. It is a matching-numbers car, and the Jaguar Heritage Trace Certificate confirms its Carmen Red paint, black interior and black mohair hood. The certificate also gives the car's build date as September 1965.

A marque specialist carried out a major refurbishment in 2021, and the odometer shows 500 miles. The car still wears its original colour combination. Upgrades for modern driving are described as minimal, so most of its original features remain.

A large history file comes with it. It holds photographs, numerous invoices and notes on earlier and recent work going back many years.
