1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 FHC

Highlights

  • Excellent condition throughout
  • Only 2 owners from new
  • Low mileage

The Appeal

The E-Type is perhaps the most recognisable British car of all time. With classic good looks and a glorious 4.2l inline straight 6 engine up front it’s easy to see why they are so well loved and sought after. This fixed head coupé was built in 1967 and spent the majority of its life in Arizona with the same owner from new, until imported on behalf of the current owner in 2020.
It’s in excellent condition throughout and looks particularly fetching finished in Primrose Yellow. Good E Types become harder to find every year and in such good condition and with only two owners from new this E Type presents a rare opportunity.

The Interior

  • Professionally retrimmed
  • Excellent condition throughout
  • All new door cards
  • New carpets
  • Everything works as it should
Sliding down behind the wood and aluminium wheel and looking down the long bonnet of this Jaguar you instantly get a feeling for why these cars are so well loved. With plush retrimmed black leather seats and thick matching carpeting the inside of this E-Type is every bit the luxury tourer. The seats show no signs of wear and are exquisitely comfortable. The door cards have been replaced along with the carpet and the whole interior presents very well indeed. The headlining is the original and shows some discoloration, but is still firmly attached.

The Exterior

  • Finished in Primrose Yellow
  • The spoked wheels are in excellent condition
  • Brightwork in very good condition
  • Badges, windows and light lenses are all in Excellent condition
  • Full bare-metal respray on 2020 in the original Primrose Yellow
The Jaguar E-Type is one of those cars that looks good from every angle and finished in Primrose Yellow with the spoked wheels this one looks simply fantastic. The restoration carried out by the current owner has included a bare-metal respray in Primrose Yellow as well as some replacement brightwork, as such the car presents superbly throughout. All of the wheels, the paintwork, trim and the brightwork are all in excellent condition.

The Mechanics

  • Extensively restored by a Jaguar specialist
  • Starts easily and idles well
  • Runs smoothly with no unwanted noises
  • Sounds fantastic
  • Superb 4.2l inline straight 6
  • Engine bay presents very well
  • Underside in fantastic condition
The car starts easily and sounds fantastic through the new dual pipe stainless exhaust system, with no unwanted sounds. The car has had a significant amount of mechanical work undertaken as part of the restoration including; a complete overhaul of the brakes, extensive work on both steering and suspension. The owner informs us that both the engine and gearbox were inspected by the specialist who carried out the restoration and found to be in very good condition with no need for a full rebuild. As can be seen in the images the engine bay presents very well and the underside, including all of the visible suspension/steering components, present more like a brand new car than one that is fifty five years old.

Summary

This E-Type presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for an exceptionally good ready to drive example of one of these fantastic cars with very few owners. Having undergone extensive restoration by the current owner it’s in superb condition  and ready for a new home.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
