HISTORY
Chassis number ‘1R20131’ is one of just 1, 071 ‘home market’ Series II Fixed Head Coupes manufactured, and is understood to be the fourth S2 off the production line in 1968. First registered on 28 January 1969, the E-Type has been in long-term ownership from 2006 until 2025, only seeing very sparing use, covering just over 2, 000 miles during this time, and only 3, 000 since 2003, Despite limited mileage, the car has been regularly serviced and maintained by specialists, most recently in April 2024 by Chariots Engineering of Clayhill. That service included attention to the brakes and clutch system, new tyres and tubes, and other essential maintenance.
The car also underwent a comprehensive cosmetic refresh in the early part of this year, with new chrome wire wheels, a replacement front bumper, and light refurbishment of the Black leather interior. A recent full repaint brought the paintwork up to scratch, with the body panels – including the doors and bonnet – appearing to fit cleanly and evenly. The Black leather seats and carpets show light age, with a period-correct wood-rimmed steering wheel and a modern Alpine stereo.
Prior to this it had a restoration carried out in 1988, which included new floors and sills, bonnet hinges,
