The Appeal

The 4.2-litre Series 1 E-Type is among the most sought-after of all classic Jaguars, pairing the model's iconic silhouette with the increased torque and refinement of the larger engine and improved all-synchromesh gearbox. In 2+2 Coupé form, it adds a welcome degree of practicality, and with only 974 right-hand drive examples produced, it is a genuinely rare car to encounter.

This 1967 example, finished in Imperial Maroon, has benefited from two significant restorations, the first in 1988 and the second in 2020/21. The more recent work was extensive, covering the engine, gearbox, suspension, steering, rear axle, carburettors, and bodywork, with full details listed below. Verified by a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate as a genuine UK right-hand drive car, it comes with a large history folder documenting the work carried out over the years, supported by past MOT certificates and tax discs. The vendor describes it as completely reliable and a joy to drive, and it was awarded a Drive Day Award in 2024 for best Series 1 2+2. Stored in a humidity-controlled garage and driven regularly, it passed a voluntary MOT with no advisories. Although sold reluctantly due to a house move, this E-Type appears ready for its next custodian to drive and enjoy.
