Jaguar E-Type 1-5 Series - 1968 2+2 Coupé, Dark Blue colour and Grey leather interior Elegance, clean lines and a sporting temperament: this 1968 Jaguar E-Type 1-5 Series epitomises the golden age of British motoring.
This rare model in 2+2 coupé configuration combines a feline silhouette with practicality, offering enhanced comfort without sacrificing any of the original beauty designed by Malcolm Sayer. Its 4. 2-litre in-line 6-cylinder engine, combined with a 4-speed manual gearbox, delivers a drive full of character and suppleness. The 1-5 Series was produced briefly between 1967 and 1968 in a total of around 6, 700 examples, and its history is well known, carefully documented and exceptionally well preserved. The current owner has all the documents attesting to its renovation (photos, video, numerous invoices, etc.). The vehicle was exhibited at Jaguar Rennes during the brand's 80th anniversary celebrations, proof of its exceptional condition! Painted in its original "Dark Blue" colour, sober and deep, this colour suits it perfectly and reveals all its shapes and its remarkable design, it also stands out for its completely renovated grey leather upholstery and a dashboard in excellent condition, faithful to the luxurious ambience of the 1960s. This Jaguar is in an excellent state of preservation after a complete restoration in 2014 requiring almost 900 hours of work, it was also repainted that same year. The mechanics are in very good condition, as evidenced by the cleanliness of the engine compartment. The perfect alignment of the bonnet and doors signifies the good health and, above all, the smooth history of this model. The chassis is in excellent condition as it too has been fully restored. The tuning of the three SU carburettors is perfect, allowing the engine to start at a quarter turn and run smoothly. Its short gearbox is particularly precise and comfortable. This Jaguar has a complete history and is now maintained by a professional specialist in the brand, well known in the Rennes area. A rare and authentic classic that only the most demanding enthusiasts or collectors will be able to acquire.
