The E-type on offer today, is a matching numbers Series 1 coupe - Most notably it was delivered new to the English actor Sebastian Cabot in Santa Monica California in April 1967. Sebastian was best remembered as the gentleman's gentleman, Giles French, opposite Brian Keith's character, in the sitcom Family Affair. The car was delivered in Carmen Red with black and was fitted with a electric Goldie sunroof. Cabot kept the car until his death when the car was sold to a Mr John Davison a Jaguar garage proprietor on Vancouver Island who kept the car for the next 25 years and never drove it. Davison eventually had the car resprayed in red again in preparation for passing it on to his daughter - who decided she didn't want it - the car then passed to its third owner in 2006.
During his ownership the car was uprated to run with an electronic distributor, an alloy radiator and more efficient electric fan was fitted- all sensible upgrades.

Most recently (2014) the engine and gearbox were removed in order to renew the clutch , a new clutch was fitted along with release bearings, input shaft bush and the flywheel was skimmed. The engine crankshaft was renewed in order to fit a modern rear seal, the crankshaft front seal and timing chain were also replaced as were the main and big end shells after the crankshaft was polished. The gearbox was inspected and input and output seals renewed. The engine was rebuilt- leaving the car in the magnificent mechanical order it presents today.

The rear sub frame assembly was removed and new brake callipers were fitted , new brake pads fitted , new brake lines including a remote bleed facility and a full set of adjustable shock absorbers fitted. Finally a new set of MWS wire wheels were fitted together with new period tyres.

The car comes complete with its north Central America sales certificate, manufacturers warranty 1967, maintenance vouchers, blaupunkt handbook, drivers handbook and invoices and documents dating back to 1967 along with its Jaguar heritage certificate, this is an exceptionally well sorted example with low mileage and excellent provenance from new.
