About this car

This 1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 fixed-head coupe has the 4.2-litre straight-six and four-speed manual gearbox, and is finished in cream over black leather. It is right-hand drive and has had four registered keepers. The first was the supplying Jaguar dealer, and the second kept it for more than 25 years, first through his business and later privately.

The paperwork is a strong point. The original service book is stamped by the main dealer from the first service at 940 miles through to 1976 at 90,000 miles. The car also comes with every MOT, the Jaguar handbook and the owner's service policy. The 117,571 miles on the odometer are backed by that record.

Work includes a lead-free head conversion and gas-flowing in 1999, and new floors and sills at CMC in 2008. New brake calipers and wire wheels followed in 2010. The current owner recommissioned the car in 2025/26. That covered engine, gearbox and exhaust mounts, a 123 distributor, an uprated alternator, a refreshed heater box, LED bulbs throughout and an engine tune with rolling-road setup.
