Description
1966 Jaguar 4. 2 Series 1 E type fixed Head Coupe finished in Carmen Red with contrasting full black hide interior and a perfect headlining by Suffolk and Turley. This beautiful example has had only two dicerning owners since 2011, both of whom have spent considerable sums of money on continous maintenance and improvements. With the car is a comprehensive history file which includes a photographic record of improvements together with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate confirming that it is a UK supplied vehicle, built in June 1966 and retaining its original engine. The engine has been professionally rebuilt and upgraded to a higher output specification, providing additional power and torque for use on Classic Continental Tours. The specification of the whole car now ensures reliability and comfort stemming from the modern acutriments for ease of driving. These include adjustable electric power assisted steering with a rebuilt steering rack, air conditioning which works extremely well, a rebuilt differential unit, a new propshaft, a Stainless steel exhaust system, high output alternator, a Guy Broad 5 speed gearbox, modern LED lighting to replace 12 volt candle bulbs, hazard warning lights, upgraded Coopercrat brakes with improved servo, slightly wider wheels and tyres for improved road holding and an alluminimum water radiator and a Kenlowe electric fan for improved cooling. Despite its excellent condition, it has never been a garage Queen but has had considerable regular use including a recent trip to the South of France. The E type has always been recognised as one of the all time great design exercises and with the benefits of modern technology it more than copes with modern day traffic conditions and is a joy to drive. Very reasonably priced for a car with this specification and in this condition at £115, 000
