At Bonhams auction 1st December 2013
1964 Jaguar E-Type 'Series 1' 4.2-Litre Roadster
Registration no. FEG 263
Chassis no. 1E1033
Engine no. 7E1829-9
Body no. 4E1379
The 33rd right-hand drive 4.2-litre roadster off the production line (the chassis number sequence commenced with '1001'), this superb 'Series 1' E-Type was first owned by Captain Felix Edgar Goldman of Holmes Chapel, proprietor of the Cheshire Equestrian Training Centre and trainer of countless champion riders and horses (see copy article from 'Cheshire Life' on file). 'FEG 263' is the private plate he put on the car in 1964. The accompanying JDHT certificate confirms matching chassis/body/engine numbers, stating that the car was manufactured on 1st December 1964 and originally finished in Opalescent Golden Sand, its livery today.
It is believed Captain Goldman owned the Jaguar for some 12 years. The second owner was a Mr Charles Denby, who acquired the car in 1976 and used it for 12 months. It then was placed in storage, remaining there for the next 32 years until purchased in 2009 by the current vendor. The latter has taken the last four years to restore the E-Type, personally spending over 5,000 hours on this most painstaking 'last nut and bolt' rebuild.
Works carried out include a full engine rebuild, carburettor overhaul, rear axle rebuild, installation of a new electrical wiring loom and a full body restoration. Desirable upgrades include Coopercraft brakes front and rear; up-rated cooling system with Kenlowe electric fan; and up-rated and fully adjustable suspension, complete with Polybushes. Since completion earlier this year, 'FEG 263' has attended two classic vehicle shows Manchester Airport and Blackpool & Fylde winning the 'Best in Show' award at both venues. Worthy of the closest inspection, this fully documented and freshly restored E-Type roadster is offered with sundry restoration invoices, current MoT/tax and Swansea V5C registration document.
