UK righthand drive car
Subject to complete restoration
In private collection last four years
This lovely, genuine, right hand drive 1966 Jaguar E-Type Series I 2+2 Coupé was supplied new in the UK in 22nd September 1966, and delivered to Rossleigh Jaguar Edingburgh, and sold to Merchiston Motors the following month, and was finished in Golden Sand with Tan leather interior. Some time in the late seventies or eighties the car was exported to the USA where it was used, became a restoration project, and was then sold in 2013 by a Jaguar specialist near Boston, Massachusetts and returned to the UK and restored. Much work was carried out on the body including new floors, and front footwell panels, before it was resprayed. A replacement engine was located and rebuilt and the gearbox overhauled. Further work included a rebuilt rear axle with new discs, brake pipes, pads and shock absorbers. Brakes were also overhauled along with a new stainless-steel exhaust fitted and new chrome wire wheels fitted at each corner and new rubbers. Finally, the car was given an MoT and registered in the UK in May 2016, little used since and sat in a private collection, and now looks resplendent in red with a beautifully trimmed Tan interior. This E-Type is supplied with a V5C registration document and two large files of bills accompany the car from specialists such as SNG Barret and Martin Robey detailing parts and work carried out for the restoration. Beautifully finished and highly usable, this Series I E-Type offers practicality and desirability in one complete package, and are by far the best investment, as FHC & Roadsters making in excess of £100,000
