Auction description:
Lot 248
1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Series 1 FHC
Registration: SWC 455D
Estimate (£): 55,000 - 65,000
Registration: SWC 455D
Chassis Number: 1E 21141
Engine Number: 7E7171-9
Year of Manufacture: 1965
Estimate (£): 55,000 - 65,000

Offered here is a 1965 manufactured Jaguar 4.2 FHC, that was despatched from the factory at Browns Lane to their nearest dealer, S.H. Newsome of Coventry. Originally finished in Primrose Yellow, the first owner was C.J. Bee & Co. and the history file shows that it has had only three owners prior to our vendor. It seems that the cylinder block was replaced early in its life but with the correct 7E engine number sequence. The car also sports a later Series II bonnet which we consider to have been a replacement, as the earlier production date precludes it being a Series 1.5. The history file also contains evidence of work carried out by renowned experts Eagle E-types whose ability to set these cars up correctly is legendary and which may well account for the fact that this car appears professionally engineered and drives so well. Sitting squarely on a set of new Dunlop Sport tyres, this super E-Type will have a full MoT prior to the sale.

In a somewhat confused market, this E-type ticks the important boxes as an original UK, right hand drive, well sorted example and we believe is guided sensibly.
