About this car

A late Series 1 3.8 fixed-head coupe with an unusual story. It was built as a left-hand-drive car and delivered new to Emil Frey in Zurich, Jaguar's Swiss distributor. It later went to the USA before reaching the UK in 1996.

A restoration completed by 2016 included full bodywork and mechanical work, a conversion to right-hand drive and several upgrades. The car is described as matching numbers. The engine was rebuilt in 2011 and has covered under 3,000 miles since. A five-speed Getrag gearbox replaces the original, and there is a Kenlowe cooling fan, chrome wire wheels and a modern DAB radio.

It is finished in Opalescent Dark Blue with grey upholstery. The bodywork was restored by Doncaster Jaguar specialists, and the car has recently been maintained by E-Type UK in Kent. A large restoration file comes with it. The page gives no mileage.
