According to an accompanying letter from its manufacturer chassis 1E31288 was completed on 28 June 1965 and shipped to Jaguar Cars New York. Equipped with the 4.2 litre engine and preferred all synchro four speed manual gearbox, it was repatriated in 1989. Professionally converted to right hand drive, the E Type has been registered to members of the same family for the past 26 years. Understood to retain its original matching numbers cylinder block, it was restored 10 years ago and refinished in Primrose Yellow with Black leather upholstery. Displaying a credible but unwarranted 74,000 miles on the odometer, with only a 1,000 being accrued since the differential refurbishment in 2016.

Thoroughly serviced last month, JGU48C is in excellent condition with regard to engine, gearbox, electrics, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. The car is rust free and paintwork is superb. The engine compartment is pristine with no rips or tears to the leather and blemish free headlining. The instruments are all in working order and it drives very well. It comes with V5C registration document, Jaguar letter and other sundry paperwork.

Fully rebuilt differential at a cost of £7000.00 in 2016

According to an accompanying letter from its manufacturer, chassis 1E31288 was completed on 28th June 1965 and shipped to Jaguar Cars of New York. Equipped with the torquier 4.2 litre engine and preferred all-synchromesh four-speed manual gearbox, the two-seater was repatriated during 1989. Professionally converted to right-hand drive thereafter, the E-Type was registered to members of the same family for twenty-six years. Understood to retain its original ‘matching numbers’ cylinder block, the Jaguar was extensively restored some ten years ago being refinished in the fetching combination of Primrose Yellow with Black leather upholstery. Displaying a credible but unwarranted c.74,500 miles to its odometer, only 1,500 of those have been accrued since the differential / rear subframe was refurbished at a cost of £7,000 in 2016.

Subject to a large amount of works in recent times including regular servicing, ‘JGU 48C’ is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent’ condition with regards to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim and bodywork. He further informs us that: ‘The car is rust free and the paintwork is very good. The engine compartment is pristine as is the interior with no rips and tears to the leather and a blemish free headlining. The instruments are all in working order -including the all important oil pressure maintaining over 40 ib/ft even at idle - and the E-Type drives very well indeed’. Having purchased the car from at our Duxford auction in March 2023, the vendor decided to have renowned specialists, E-Type UK realign the doors for better fit which has made the car much more presentable. This fabulous E-Type is now offered for sale with the V5C registration document, Browns Lane (Jaguar) letter and a large stack of invoices relating to work performed on the car.
