Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe

This is a 1965 Series 1 E-Type fixed head coupe with the 4.2-litre six and a synchromesh manual gearbox, an original UK right-hand-drive car. It is finished in Carbon Black Metallic with a dark blue tint, over light grey leather and dark blue Heritage carpets.

The shell has been restored with new floors and outer sills, plus a new Jaguar Heritage bonnet assembly and engine frames, and has been repainted. The engine, gearbox and rear axle (3.07 ratio) are reconditioned, and the triple SU carburettors are retained. Upgrades include EZ power steering, polybushed front suspension with new Spax dampers, an uprated cooling fan and a stainless exhaust. It sits on new chrome wire wheels with new Dunlop tyres.

History is patchy but documented in outline. The car was UK-registered in Coventry, reportedly exported to Denmark, last used there in 1986 and returned to the UK in 2015. The restoration was carried out by the Hutson Motor Co. The page shows 1,000 miles.
