We are advised that this original, right-hand drive Series 1 3.8-litre coupé was supplied new via Stratstone Ltd of London W1 and has had only two private owners from new, the first being Mr David Stretton, who retired to Eastbourne, and subsequently a Mr Harrison who painstakingly restored the Jaguar between 2005 and 2012. This seven-year restoration is a credit to his endeavours, the attention to detail being exacting. While the restoration was ongoing the opportunity was taken to incorporate sensible upgrades including an aluminium radiator; improved brakes (vented discs, 4-pot callipers and an up-rated servo; full leather trim; carburettor air filters; and a 6-branch exhaust manifold and system in stainless steel. The car has cover only 600 miles since its restoration's completion and is probably one of
the most pleasing drives you could experience. Finished in Gunmetal Grey metallic with matching leather interior, this freshly restored E-Type Coupé is offered with sundry restoration invoices, current MoT/tax and Swansea V5C document. The original braking system components are included in the sale.
