Appeal

While purists favor the flat-sill E-Types, those seeking the most enjoyable to drive will opt for a Series 1 4.2 with a fully synchronized manual gearbox. This 1967 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupé, left-hand drive, has undergone a full restoration in 1991 and a new paint job in November 2024 in a superb deep opalescent green, paired with a carefully restored beige interior.

The work carried out is of a remarkable standard. In addition to aesthetic upgrades, the engine and the gearbox were rebuilt in 2015, and new tires were fitted in 2022.

The seller, fifth owner, acquired the car in September 2022. It has been prepared for international rallies and has notably competed in historic events in Monaco and New Zealand. Always stored in a heated garage, this E-Type benefits from numerous technical improvements: 5-speed gearbox, reinforced brakes and optimized suspension.

It is a very pleasant car to use, in excellent condition of presentation and operation.

The history file is particularly complete: the original French invoice from November 1967, available independent expert opinion, restoration photos and work invoices spanning many years. Technical inspection valid until June 2027.

Seller’s Statement

“I bought this model in September 2022. I replaced the tires and had the car completely repainted. It is stored in a heated garage. Its history is clear, with the original invoice to support it. I am the fifth owner. The engine is perfectly reliable and the car has been prepared for historic rallies (Morocco, New Zealand…).

The vehicle is distinguished by its highly attractive exterior and interior color scheme, as well as by its fully rebuilt and reliability-optimized engine."
