This beautiful matching numbers 4.2 litre Jaguar has only traveled a mere 84,455 miles from new and has been beautifully maintained under the care of its two owners. Having had one repaint in its original Dark Blue sometime in the 1990's, this gorgeous E-Type is an excellent example of a drivers quality car that can be used for rally's and shows. The car has brand new Red Line tires along with brand new factory correct Dark Blue carpeting. The convertible top is in excellent condition as is the rest of the interior. The paint does show some signs of use with minimal scratches here and there. This E-Type is mechanically exceptional, it starts right up and runs and drives superb. The steering and suspension feel very well balanced and solid and the drive-train pull beautifully without any hesitation. This Jaguar comes with its original owners manual, original warranty/service book and original Jaguar wiring diagram. The car also comes with its keys, original spare, knock off tool and jack. The Jaguar E-Type is truly one of the most recognizable and iconic cars of all time and will continue to be one of the most sought after collector cars in the world.

Sellers description:
As the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate (JDHC) attests it was manufactured in Coventry in October 26, 1967 and dispatched to Jaguar Cars, New York, USA November 29, 1967.... It was then sold to its original owner Mrs. Eleanor A. Smith in Arizona.

When we acquired the car it was in original condition with its original (but very faded) factory paint. As much as we were tempted to leave the paint, we felt that it did not do the car justice and it needed a professional grade paint job. The interior was in excellent original condition so we left it alone except for the torn original convertible top which we replaced with a with a brand new one. The carpet looks to have been replaced at some point in the car's life along with the addition of a more modern stereo and speakers.

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION:
Our engineer went through the car and mechanically she needed nothing. The original un-modified 4.2 liter straight six motor runs great, and makes excellent power. The original 4 speed transmission shifts effortlessly and makes for a spirited fun drive.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT:
The engine compartment looks nice with new paint under the bonnet and the engine is clean and presentable and in original condition.

EXTERIOR:
The undercarriage was in excellent original condition so we left it as it was and focused on removing the chrome, emblems, and stripping off all the original worn paint. We then gave it a very high quality, laser straight show quality paint job in its original color as documented in the Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

INTERIOR:
On the inside the seats, dash, and carpet were in great condition and did not need to be replaced. The convertible top was replaced with a professionally installed quality replacement. All window glass is in excellent condition and windows roll up and down as they should. There are no rips or defects in the interior upholstery and all gauges work as they should. You will feel at home in the cockpit of this outstanding E Type.

The result of this effort is a stunningly gorgeous Jaguar E-Type painted in its correct midnight blue paint, sitting on wire wheels and redline tires. This is a E type you will be proud to take to Vintage Car Rally's, car shows, or just a fun summers drive.
