This 1964 Jaguar E Type Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe, chassis number 1E20010 represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the earliest surviving examples of Jaguar's iconic E Type, As the 10th 4.2 litre E Type produced in fixed head coupe and right hand drive configuration, it has historical importance. Discovered by leading E Type specialist, E Type UK, it was rescued and sympathetically restored after decades hidden in Gloucestershire undergrowth. This meticulous restoration focused on balancing originality and modernisation, carefully inserting upgrades to make this car highly usable.

Restored to its original Opalescent Silver Grey with a Black leather interior, the car maintains its factory correct colour scheme.

Accompanied by a comprehensive history file, Jaguar Heritage certificate, restoration and photographic records, this E Type offers a chance to own Jaguar's storied past. Its early production number, high level restoration and documented history make it a compelling proposition.
