Monegasque title

Chassis no. 1E14128

Engine no. 7E11180-9

- Collection of an enthusiast in Monte-Carlo

- Desirable Series 1 model

- Pleasing 4.2-litre version

- Exceptional styling

As its Jaguar Heritage certificate confirms, this roadster left the works on 24 November 1966 and was delivered new in the USA, to Theodore Baranet, on 15 December. It already wore its current combination of colours: Carmine Red with Black upholstery and a matching hood. Its body has been repainted with a metallic finish and is in good used condition, as is the vinyl upholstery. The engine block has its original number and the SU carburettors are fitted with longer mesh-covered accessory ram pipes. The exhaust system is finished off with a pair of twin Ansa tailpipes. On the mechanical side, we noted that the aluminium sump has been repaired and that the car is fitted with a modern ignition, a common modification to make starting easier, as well as a more recent alternator. A Blaupunkt radio has been added to the dashboard, while the oil pressure gauge is a modern unit. The car was valued in 2018 and we invite potential buyers to consult the report. The hood is in decent used condition, except for a small tear which could be repaired. The 4.2-litre Series 1 roadster is without doubt the most desirable version of the E-Type, with its powerful engine, all-synchro gearbox and breathtaking original styling.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RPH COUNTER DOESN'T WORK.

Estimate 100 000 - 150 000 €

Good morning

I'm the current owner and I'm looking for his history. The previous owner bought it from car dealer Gallery Aaldering in the Netherlands.

Does anyone have any other information?

Best regards.
