Chassis no. 1R7694

• Delivered new in the UK

This stunning 4.2 E-Type was built on 17th April 1969 and supplied new by Rossleigh of Edinburgh, who subsequently dispatched the car to its first owner on 20th June 1969. This is a matching numbers car and was ordered from the factory with the very rare and desirable power steering.

This 1969 E-Type roadster is a very attractive car that was treated to an extensive restoration in 2015 at a cost of more than £50,000 and remains in excellent condition, having seen little use wince the restoration. It is finished in the classic and attractive combination of Primrose Yellow with a black leather interior and matching canvas top, and sits on wider competition-style wire wheels shod with period-correct narrow whitewall radial tires. According to the vendor, very good quality paint has been laid on a nice straight body, and most of the chrome trim has been restored or replaced. Panel fit is said to be very good. The black interior is described as in very good condition, having recently been re-trimmed with new leather, correct carpet, and a new canvas top.

This E-Type is described as driving well, with performance to live up to the cosmetics, a strong engine, smooth shifting gearbox and excellent handling. With attractive cosmetics, a wonderful cockpit and well-sorted mechanicals, this Series 2 E-Type would make the ideal choice for an enthusiast seeking a well presented and nicely restored example that they could exercise on their favourite back roads, enjoying the throaty exhaust note and sublime handling.

Offered with the car, the history file contains the original handbooks; a Jaguar Heritage Certificate; MoT certificates dating back to 1979; and a full photographic record of the restoration.
