Description
1968 Jaguar E-Type Series 1. 5 4. 2 RHD OTS – Genuine 'Barn Find'Chassis Number: 1E 1900An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a highly original, home-market UK Right-Hand Drive E-Type Open Two Seater with exceptional provenance. Last on the road in 1992—when the late owner regularly used the vehicle for the school run—the car was placed into dry storage at the family home in the north of England, where it remained untouched until February 2026. William Heynes Ltd was entrusted directly by the family to advise, handle, and extract the car from its long-term storage, and it was a true honour to assist with its extraction. Now offered as a prime candidate for restoration, Chassis 1E 1900 represents the sought-after Series 1. 5 crossover model. Produced during a very brief transitional period between the Series 1 and Series 2, the Series 1. 5 offers the best of both worlds—retaining the original Series 1 body styling and classic interior alongside essential mechanical updates such as cooling and brakes. In our opinion, it remains the ultimate driver’s E-Type. This E-Type is perfect for a home restoration project given its completeness and remarkably solid bodywork. Alternatively, we would relish the chance to carry out the restoration for you here.

True barn finds and honest original cars are now becoming very hard to find.
