Offered in turn-key condition, this leading edge Series 1 Jaguar E-Type Coupe is a credit to its last custodian and an absolute asset to the next.
Behind the wheel, from every conceivable detail the cockpit’s switch gear, carpets, double stitched Connelly leather bucket seats and flawless gauges aren’t just correct, they’ve been masterfully refurbished and fitted.
To drive, this car is excitingly quick with a near instant throttle response, steering is well balanced and fast, the weight and feel of the pedals is as though they’ve been cut from one piece, gear changes have that signature click-click feel and the overall atmosphere is totally engaging, never ever boring.
The combination of its handsome original colours, masterful restoration, original accompaniments, winning history and unrivalled provenance make this already rare and desirable classic something extra special.
