This rather lovely 1965 E Type was owned by a family with long established links with Jaguar, as father worked for John Coombs in the period, whilst son is a Jaguar specialist plus they own a number of interesting and rare Jaguars together with a wonderful Mark II Coombs which has more recently been featured in Classic and Sports Car magazine.

Not content with having recently finished the Mk II, a new E Type project was undertaken which was to last 20 months. Originality was pivotal to their search and chassis number 20193 certainly did not disappoint, plus as an early 1965 4.2 car, it carried over a number of features from the outgoing 3.8 car, amongst others , a glass washer bottle and rubber gear gator - each were to change to plastic and leather latterly. Another big plus was just three former keepers in 54 years, the first two being father and son, whilst the third, although owning it for 18 years, never drove the Jaguar but critically had left it untouched and totally intact.

Evidentially preservation was vitally important, so it was painstakingly dismantled so that wherever possible all parts, glass and interior could then be re-introduced. The finished product does not disappoint on any level having been accurately and fastidiously re-built to its 1965 factory specification. Note please the precise panel gaps, not an easy task! The correct opalescent silver blue paint contrasts with the original dark blue leather interior - just two items of the interior were replaced, the bottom portion of both door cards together with the fabric headlining. As you will notice from the photographs, the inside of the car is virtually unblemished with only a few age related marks that add to the character.

Mechanically everything has been overhauled and, or rebuilt including engine, gearbox and brakes plus a new engine frame was deemed necessary. The factory wires have been stove enamelled and shod with the correct sized Dunlop radial tyres which add beautifully to the period look. As you would expect both its tool roll and jack are present and importantly everything is matching numbers. Once behind the wheel one can understand why they decided against an embellished or upgraded car, as the original design and driving environment of this 4.2 is arguably the 'pick of the crop'.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
