Registration no. GDS 804F Chassis no. 1E17190
Engine no. 7E16313-9

Auction 23589:
Goodwood Members' Meeting
13:00 GMT
Chichester, Goodwood

Manufactured in March 1968 during this transitional period, this matching-numbers 'Series 1½' was sold new via Jaguar Cars, New York, USA and was originally finished in Pale Primrose Yellow with black interior trim, the same as it is today. This car has the desirable triple SU carburettor induction, and must be among the last despatched to the USA with this feature. We are advised that the car had only two owners in the USA and was well maintained there by an amateur motor sports enthusiast, who used it for auto tests. Remarkably, the body has never needed any welding and remains all original apart from a repaint undertaken some years ago, while the interior likewise is original.

In 2013 the E-Type was re-commissioned in the UK by the current owner to make it suitable for regular road use, the brakes, suspension, and drive train being overhauled. Described as in generally good cosmetic condition, with excellent mechanicals, this outstandingly original 'Series 1½' E-Type is offered with Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate, MoT to September 2016, V5C registration document, some 1970s photographs, and a small amount of historical paperwork.
