Jaguar E-Type Series II FHC 4.2

This is a Series II E-Type fixed-head coupé with the 4.2-litre straight-six and a four-speed manual gearbox. It is a UK home-market, matching-numbers car, and the dealer's text gives both 1969 and 1970 as its date, so the year is worth checking against the paperwork.

The mileage of 53,628 is described as believed genuine. A letter on file records 43,000 miles in 1985, and MOT records cover the distance since. It has had four owners. The second bought it in 1985 and kept it until 2004, the third had it until 2015, and the current Leicestershire owner has had it since.

Work after the 2015 purchase included major sill repairs. In 2022 the cylinder head was removed and rebuilt with new exhaust guides, recut valve seats, new inlet valve stem seals, springs and shims. The alternator was rebuilt, carburettor linkages replaced, and the water pump and brakes also attended to. It has steel wheels and largely original trim. It is a part-exchange car being sold as it arrived, with no workshop preparation, and the dealer says it needs no major work.
