Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2

This Series 1 E-Type pairs the 4.2-litre XK six with an all-synchromesh four-speed manual gearbox. It is the version of the early car most sought after by collectors. The page lists 264 bhp, a 150 mph top speed and a 0-60mph time of 6.6 seconds. It is a right-hand-drive roadster in its original Midnight Blue over red Connolly leather.

The car was delivered new in southern Ireland on New Year's Day 1964 and is described as matching numbers, with Jaguar Heritage documentation supporting the original colour and trim. It was imported to the UK in 2011 and has since had one long-term enthusiast owner. The history file runs from 1985 and includes invoices from SNG Barratt and Bill Rawles, plus a £30,000 receipt for bodywork restoration.

The paint was redone from bare metal in the original colour, and the front end has paint protection film. The seats, door cards and sill trim have been restored. Recent work includes the radiator, fuel pump and clutch master cylinder, followed by a tune. It sits on 72-spoke wire wheels with Avon ZV5 tyres. A spare key, handbooks and photographs of the body restoration come with it.
