Stored for over 20 years, now fully recommissioned

Manufactured on 8th February 1973 and dispatched the following month this Jaguar was destined to spend the first 14 years of its life in the USA before being repatriated to the UK in 1987 having been imported by SNG Barrett. The owner at that time was a garage proprietor who put the car into dry storage for some 20 years. He then set about a recommissioning task which included removing the engine and gearbox. Although showing no signs of wear, he rebuilt the engine and changed the gearbox to a five-speed Getrag manual gearbox. At the same time he converted the car to righthand drive and replaced all of the suspension bushes. Once again the car was put back into dry storage although she was started and moved regularly. The current vendor purchased the E-Type in 2019 and set about registering the car with DVLA and refreshing the paintwork. Whilst stripping the old paint off, it became apparent this was a very solid example with no corrosion and showing no signs of previous repairs. Presenting in the original colour combination of Primrose Yellow with black interior this Jaguar is delightful and ready to be enjoyed immediately. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, the odometer reading of 35,512 is thought to be correct although not warranted.
