Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5

This 1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1.5 roadster is a rare thing: a one-owner car, bought new by the couple who still own it. It is a right-hand-drive home-market example with the 4.2-litre straight-six and four-speed manual gearbox, finished in its original combination of British Racing Green with green leather and a black mohair hood.

The bodywork and mechanicals were restored about 20 years ago by a leading specialist, and a full photographic record of the work is included. The interior was not touched apart from the sill covers, which were replaced along with the sills, so the seats, carpets, dashboard, dials, console and steering wheel are all original. The car is described as matching-numbers throughout.

It has covered 43,345 miles, and since the restoration has been used sparingly, in dry weather only. It comes with the factory hardtop, roof slip, complete roll-up toolkit, original jack, owner's manuals and service policy document in the first owner's name, plus period extras including 1970s fuel ration coupons.
