Warsaw, Poland

Engine: straight-six, 4.2-litre; power: 245 break horsepower; other: four-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive; legal condition: registered with regular, non-vintage (white) number plates; Chassis number: 1E16737; VEHICLE HISTORY: This Jaguar E-Type featured in the catalogue rolled off the production line in 1968. The vehicle with a serial number 1E16737 left the factory as a red roadster and was originally sold in America. The car was shipped to Poland three years ago. The owner decided to completely rebuild the car. The quality of works that were carried out is very high - the whole process took about a year and a half. The owner decided to paint the body using an original colour from the Jaguar colour range - classic British Racing Green. The interior was wrapped in sand-coloured leather, creating a classic colour combination. Quality of restoration work carried out on the body and paint is on a very high level. Trim materials were chosen to match the original ones. Chrome elements are in great condition and the whole car looks as if it just left the restoration workshop. Apart from the new paint, the car received a new roof covered with dark Sonnenland fabric. The owner used the car only as a means of recreation. Restoration works did not include rebuilding the engine as it didn't show any signs of wear. The car starts immediately, even after sitting for a long time. All features and mechanisms work properly. Documentation of the whole restoration process is included with the car. The vehicle is registered with regular, non-vintage white number plates and ready to drive. The Jaguar in question is a hugely interesting offer. A lot of means and time have been invested in it, which results in its phenomenal condition. It will bring its driver heaps of joy on recreational weekend drives, while still remaining a crown jewel in numerous classic car collections.
