• Delivered new to New York, USA
• Left-hand drive
• Manual transmission
• Extensively restored between 2013 and 2015
• Circa 1,000 miles since completion
• Present ownership since 2015
This beautifully restored Jaguar E-Type Roadster was manufactured on 16th July 1969 as a left-hand-drive model with manual transmission, and left the factory finished in British Racing Green with Cinnamon leather upholstery. It was dispatched to Jaguar Cars New York, returning to the UK in 2012.
Professionally restored between 2013 and 2015, the car was stripped to a bare shell in preparation for a complete body restoration and a respray in its original colour. It was also fitted with a new Sage Green leather interior at the same time, in addition to a new matching green hood.
The engine was also stripped and rebuilt, and this work is said to have included a re-bore, new pistons, a new crankshaft, and a cylinder head overhaul. The gearbox and rear axle were also refurbished, the wiring replaced, and new brake discs and calipers fitted all round, together with a stainless-steel exhaust system.
Estimated to have covered fewer than 2,000 miles in total since being completed, the car has been in the vendor's care since May 2015. He has used it sparingly since but has undertaken the usual post-restoration snagging, so it is said to be running beautifully. Exempt by virtue of its age, the E-Type does not have a current MoT certificate.
The recent Vehicle History Check confirms its status as an imported car, and the E-Type also comes with a current V5C registration document. It is hoped that a Jaguar Heritage Certificate will have been obtained by time of sale.
This is a good looking example of a perennially popular model, beautifully finished and boasting an unusual - and unusually attractive - colour scheme. Carefully shaken down over the past few hundred miles, this professionally restored, left-hand drive Jaguar E-Type is running well and ready to thrill and delight its new owner, both here and abroad.
