On-line auction at:

www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1966-jaguar-e-type-series-1-22-n7eK68

No photo of maker's plate. So many incorrect and missing parts that it's obviously been put together by someone who does not know E-types. Door handles upside down on wrong sides, wrong rear lamps (maybe OTS or FHC?) hanging repro overriders, wrong chepo screws on headlamp rims, custom interior, completely missingn. radio console, legend strip, headlamp switch, rear door hinge and lock covers, etc.

Auctioneer's description:

Restored car in popular colour scheme

Rare Series 1 2+2 manual car

Desirable Series 1 aesthetics with 2+2 usability

Factory 4.2L car with fully synchromesh manual box

In process of being road registered in the UK

Finished in Signal Red with a tan leather interior, it appears to have been extensively restored before arriving on these shores. The condition is impressive inside and out, giving the first UK registered keeper a great example of these enduring classics.

The History and Paperwork

First registered in 1966 according to chassis date

One of 2,644 Series 1 2+2 LHD cars before the Series 1.5 revisions were introduced

Appears to have been originally supplied to USA

Recently imported to the UK and in process of being UK registered

Formerly part of a large static collection

Vendor advises chassis number below which is not visible in photos

Chassis number 1E76496 confirms this car as a 4.2L Series 1 1966-built manual model


The Condition

Appears to be a restored example finished in Signal Red

Paintwork presents well with consistent colour across panels and bright finish

Bodywork in good order with arches, sills and rear tub presenting well

Chromework and glasswork are well-kept, including front and rear bumpers

Lights are well kept with correct front and rear Series 1 lamps and lenses fitted

Chrome wire wheels show some tarnish and would benefit from improvement to match the rest of the car

Tan leather interior appears to have been retrimmed and features an unusual tan dashboard

Leather front and rear seats in very good order with few signs of use

Remaining interior fittings are well kept with some aging, as shown in photos

Car retains the correct Series 1 features, like toggle switches and three-spoke wooden wheel

Brown carpets in good order through cabin and boot area with light use visible

The Mechanics

Jaguar XK 4.2L straight six engine

Triple SU carburettors are factory-correct

4spd fully synchromesh manual gearbox

Suspension and running gear appear to have been refreshed

Not yet tested extensively since arriving in the UK

Owing to the car having formed part of a largely static collection, it saw little use and thus will require a level of recommissioning prior to road use

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
