private Sale

Uckfield, East Sussex, United Kingdom

This Jaguar E-Type is a beautifully designed classic British sports car which has been with the seller for the last 18 years. 

It is powered by a triple-carburetted 4.2-litre inline-six, delivering 265bhp and 283lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. 

The five-digit odometer shows 2,074 miles, though supporting invoices show that the odometer has ‘rolled over’.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

The car is finished in red over a black leather-trimmed cabin. 

It rides on a set of 15-inch wire wheels, secured with twin-eared knock-offs.

Equipment includes pop-out rear windows, a wooden-rimmed steering wheel, and an Alpine radio-cassette player. 

A stainless steel exhaust has been fitted. 

Accompanying the sale is the original handbook, a folder of invoices and historic MOT test certificates, the spare wheel, and one key. 

CONDITION

Specific notes from the seller include: ‘pimples’ on the rear wheel arch, a bubble on the bonnet, and signs of wear on the seats.

The seller also states that the vehicle was resprayed under previous ownership, and invoices detailing previous bodywork repairs are visible in the photo gallery.

The most recent MOT test was conducted on 11 April 2024 at an indicated 1,941 miles, resulting in a clean first-time pass. 

SERVICE HISTORY

The car was last serviced in April 2024 at an indicated 1,941 miles by Chariots Engineering in Clayhill, who replaced the front brake callipers, hoses, clutch master cylinder, tyres and tubes, and windscreen washer pump. 

Prior to this, services were carried out in April 2022 at 98,789 miles, April 2021 at 96,398 miles, and March 2020 at 95,148 miles.

Winning bid £30,250

Online Auction - 10th July

Lot Number 90006

1969 JAGUAR E-TYPE

Registration Number PTB 88G

Chassis Number IR20131

Transmission MANUAL

DRIVE RHD

REG NUMBER PTB 88G

ODOMETER READING 52084 Miles [actually 2019]

First registered on 28 January 1969, this fixed-head coupé is believed to be the fourth Series 2 off the production line that year, bearing chassis number 1R20131. Originally delivered in blue, the car was repainted in red in 1984 and has recently undergone a further respray to bring it to show-ready condition.

Cherished by its current registered keeper for the past 18 years, this E-Type has seen only sparing use - just 1,941 miles logged on its most recent MOT, and 2,074 miles displayed on the odometer (likely 102,074 in total). Despite limited mileage, the car has been regularly serviced and maintained by specialists, most recently in April 2024 by Chariots Engineering of Clayhill. That service included attention to the brakes and clutch system, new tyres and tubes, and other essential maintenance.

The car also underwent a comprehensive cosmetic refresh ahead of sale. New chrome wire wheels, a replacement front bumper, and light refurbishment of the black leather interior complement the already handsome presentation. The paintwork is in excellent condition with no visible signs of aging or wear, and the body panels - including the doors and bonnet - fit cleanly and evenly. Chrome trim and bumpers present well, while the glass lenses on exterior lights remain clear and damage-free.

Inside, the cabin is equally well-kept. The black leather seats and carpets show only light signs of age, and the dash remains clean and fully functional. A period-correct wood-rimmed steering wheel and a modern Alpine stereo add a tasteful blend of vintage charm and modern convenience.

Mechanically, the car retains its desirable triple SU carburettor setup and original 265bhp specification, ensuring it performs as Jaguar intended. It passed a voluntary MOT in April 2024 with no advisories, offering reassurance to potential buyers. The underside is reported to be in good structural condition, with no cause for concern flagged in inspections.

With just ten registered keepers since new and accompanied by its original handbook, a folder of invoices, historic MOTs, and a photographic record of bodywork repairs dating back to 2006, this E-Type comes to market with both provenance and peace of mind.
