Car comes with more than $24K in maintenance receipts plus various insurance, license, registration and other documents

Outside, the car's dark blue paint is in good overall condition and the windshield and other glass sections are intact, clear and look good, considering their age. The car rolls on Pirelli P600 Sport Veloce radial tires, 195/65R15, which surround wire wheels with NOS Jaguar wheel hex caps. All body panels are laser straight and solid. The underside of this handsome cat is solid with some repair evident on the rocker panels but does not limit this Jag and is a wonderful driver with long term extensive history!

The power is transferred to the rear wheels by a three-speed automatic transmission backed to a limited-slip rear differential. The driver assist features include power assisted rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel power disc brakes and independent front and rear suspensions. Included are the original chrome 15-inch polished wire wheels and Jaguar center lock hubs.

Inside, the recently recovered Connolly Leather red seats look fantastic as a contrast to the dark blue paint. The Wilton carpet, headliner and dashboard, a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, complete with Enrico Nardi's autograph on the three o'clock spoke, center console with armrest and shift lever look similarly good and help complete the period appearance. There's a very rare and handsome Philips AM/FM/SW (shortwave) stereo in the dashboard.

Lot 166 - 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2 Coupé
Lot Number 166
Registration EGU 778H
Chassis Number 1R42577BW
Odometer reading 66,305 miles
Estimate £40,000 - £45,000

This lefthand drive Jaguar E-type was repatriated from the U.S. in June 2017 by the vendor who is a fastidious and knowledgeable classic car enthusiast. The blue coachwork is in fine order and the interior was re-trimmed some 20 years ago; a delightful patina welcomes you when you open the door of this 2+2 Coupé. Benefitting from a full engine re-build in October 1998 and having covered minimal mileage since, this 4.2 litre Jaguar E-Type, with automatic transmission, starts and runs well. A comprehensive service history accompanies EGU 778H together with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 17th May 2018.
