The Appeal
The E-Type is perhaps the most recognisable British car of all time. With classic good looks and a glorious 4.2l inline straight 6 engine up front it’s easy to see why they are so well loved and sought after. This fixed head coupé was built in 1967 and spent the majority of its life in Arizona with the same owner from new, until imported on behalf of the current owner in 2020.
It’s in excellent condition throughout and looks particularly fetching finished in Primrose Yellow. Good E Types become harder to find every year and in such good condition and with only two owners from new this E Type presents a rare opportunity.

Sliding down behind the wood and aluminium wheel and looking down the long bonnet of this Jaguar you instantly get a feeling for why these cars are so well loved. With plush retrimmed black leather seats and thick matching carpeting the inside of this E-Type is every bit the luxury tourer. The seats show no signs of wear and are exquisitely comfortable. The door cards have been replaced along with the carpet and the whole interior presents very well indeed. The headlining is the original and shows some discoloration, but is still firmly attached.

The Mechanics

- Sounds fantastic
- Superb 4.2l inline straight 6
- Engine bay presents very well
- Underside in fantastic condition
The car starts easily and sounds fantastic through the new dual pipe stainless exhaust system, with no unwanted sounds. The car has had a significant amount of mechanical work undertaken as part of the restoration including; a complete overhaul of the brakes, extensive work on both steering and suspension. The owner informs us that both the engine and gearbox were inspected by the specialist who carried out the restoration and found to be in very good condition with no need for a full rebuild. As can be seen in the images the engine bay presents very well and the underside, including all of the visible suspension/steering components, present more like a brand new car than one that is fifty five years old.
Summary
This E-Type presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking for an exceptionally good ready to drive example of one of these fantastic cars with very few owners. Having undergone extensive restoration by the current owner it’s in superb condition and ready for a new home.
