The Appeal
The Jaguar E-Type is one of those rare cars that really needs no introduction, achieving almost iconic status right from its 1961 launch. Officially the E-Type was built across three series between 1961 and 1975.
This Series 1 car has been diligently maintained and cared for in its current ownership for the last 10 years. Prior to that the car enjoyed a fastidious restoration in around 2008. The result is a beautiful example in a sublime colourway which is very hard to fault in any respect.
The interior is exquisitely finished in dark blue leather
The seats are stitched, and box pleated for comfort and support
The condition of the seats is excellent throughout
The door cards are finished in black and dissected with horizontal chrome trim
The quality, chromed door furniture is all present and correct
The dark blue carpets are edge bound in leather and present in fine fettle
The dashboard is finished in black and is awash with switches and gauges signature E-Type fashion
The original Smiths white on black gauges are all in working condition and present well
A Phillips M/L wave push button radio is fitted but not currently connected
The three spoke alloy, wooden rimmed steering wheel is in excellent condition with the original E-Type boss
The headlining is a tightly fitted and unmarked condition
The luggage compartment is finished in blue leather with rubber topped chrome protective strips fitted
Under the boot floor there is a full-sized wire spare wheel and accompanying tools
This is a delightful period-correct interior in an excellent overall condition. Understood to have been included in the restoration of around 2008, the cabin gives you everything you would expect from a Series 1 E-Type.
The big Smiths tachometer and speedometer set the tone and sit behind the attractive alloy and wood, three-spoked steering wheel. There’s a wealth of period detail to enjoy in this interior, right down to the leaping jaguars on the chrome seatbelt buckles.
The exterior is finished in deep and lustrous Opalescent Silver Blue
The exterior presentation is really excellent throughout
The panel gaps are tight and symmetrical and the doors, bonnet, and boot open and close freely and positively
The light lenses, front and back, are clear and undamaged
The cabin glass appears to be original and free from imperfection
Assumed to have been repainted in around 2008, the restoration has lasted very well
The brightly chromed wire wheels are attached with “Jaguar” inscribed twin-eared spinners
The wheels are shod with period-correct 185/15 Dunlop SP Sport radials
These all appear to retain an excellent depth of tread
The chrome of the bumpers and window surrounds is clear and shiny
No areas of notable imperfection were noticed during our inspection
The fixed head coupe (FHC) iteration of the E-Type really exhibits the timeless design language most purely. There are many D-Type cues to please the eye and this car looks sleek and muscular in its Silver Blue paintwork.
Like the interior, it is the period detail that is so pleasing. The purposeful vents on the long bonnet, the faired in headlights and those sublime wire wheels all combine so well to exude both elegance and power in true E-Type fashion. It is no accident that the E-Type remains one of the most recognisable profiles some 60 years after its launch.
This E-Type is fitted with the erstwhile 4.2L straight six engine which appeared for the first time in the Series 1
The engine breathes through three, 2-inch SU carburettors
Originally rated at 265 bhp giving the car 150mph plus potential
Power is fed to the rear wheels via a full synchromesh, four-speed manual gearbox
The current owner has continued to improve the mechanical condition during his tenure
This includes new fuel pump, steering linkages, and shock absorbers
He also fitted electronic ignition, a sport coil, silicon leads, hoses, brake master and slave cylinders
A new clutch has been fitted during his ownership
The car has covered less than 5,000 miles in his ownership so these upgrades can be considered recent
Given these improvements combined with the low mileage results in an excellent mechanical presentation
The 4.2L engine replaced the original 3.8L unit and succeeded in improving refinement and drivability despite the headline power figures not changing. The 4.2L’s improved gearbox did represent a big leap forward, however, being a full synchromesh unit and proving considerably quieter than the earlier units.
Being very happy with the bodily condition of the car when he acquired it, the current owner has focused on undertaking any mechanical improvements he felt the car required. As a result, this is an E-Type that is very well sorted mechanically and ready to drive away by the lucky new owner.
If you are looking for an E-Type Jaguar of this period and pedigree, then you will know what a fine and rarely available example this is. The myth, of course, is that the E-type was a high-volume sports car compared to many of this period. Well, it is worth considering that only around 2,000 right hand drive Series 1, 4.2L FHC’s were built. Nearly sixty years on that number has decreased dramatically. That makes this one of the rarer cars in the series.
What increases that rarity value is its exceptional condition. Naturally we tend to inspect cars with a critical eye, keen to point out any imperfections or issues to potential buyers. That has proved a very tall-order with this E-Type. It is really that good.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
Ammontare dell'offerta

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
