One of 3,785 left-hand drive Series 2 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes made

Originally distributed via British Leyland New York

Current ownership since 1989 when repatriated to the UK

Formerly concours entrant in Dallas, Texas where it scored 97.94%

Finished in Silver with Dark Blue upholstery, this particular left-hand drive example was built to left-hand drive specification for the North American market. Distributed via BL New York, the E-Type was seemingly cherished by its first owner, Mr Balusek of Texas, if only because his successor, Mr Roberts, was rewarded with a score of 97.94% when he entered it for the Jaguar Owners’ Association of the Southwest’s Dallas concours event in 1988. Departing the ‘Lone Star State’ for the UK the following year, the Fixed Head Coupe has belonged to the vendor for no fewer than thirty-six years. Believed but not warranted to have covered just c.42,000 miles from new, 'YOD 48' has been subtly uprated with a reconditioned UK ratio rear axle, electronic ignition, stainless steel exhaust and wire wheels. Pleasingly original, this much-loved Big Cat is now looking for its next long-term custodian. Offered for sale with history file and current V5C document.
