Auction description:
1967 Jaguar E-Type FHC Series 1
Colour Blue
Odometer 25,777 Miles
Engine size 4235
TownGreat Oxendon
A fully restored Series 1 E-Type in excellent condition both mechanically and bodily
Matching numbers example with Heritage Certificate
In the current ownership for 10 years and maintained regardless of cost over a number of owners
A substantial paperwork archive is included detailing the work undertaken and associated expenditure
This E-Type was manufactured in April 1967
The factory record records the interior and exterior colours as they appear today
The car was distributed via Rossleigh Jaguar in Edinburgh
The car has been cherished and enjoyed by a number of owners over its life
An extensive restoration was believed to have been undertaken in 2008
The current owner acquired the car in 2012 having owned numerous E-Types previously
The excellent condition of the bodywork and interior attracted him to the car
Since that point, the owner has attended to all key mechanical requirements
The car has done less than 5,000 miles in the last 10 years
The sale includes the extensive paperwork archive for the E-Type
This includes the current V5 in the owner’s name
There are many previous MOT’s on hand as well as a Heritage Certificate
There are many invoices included, just a small sample of which we present here
These are mainly from three key points in the car’s history
These are 2002 – 2008, 2009 – 2012 and 2012 to present
The original “Operating Handbook” is present
There is also a period specification manual included
There is an interesting album of photographs from the restoration on hand also
The Interior
The interior is exquisitely finished in dark blue leather
The seats are stitched, and box pleated for comfort and support
The condition of the seats is excellent throughout
The door cards are finished in black and dissected with horizontal chrome trim
The quality, chromed door furniture is all present and correct
The dark blue carpets are edge bound in leather and present in fine fettle
The dashboard is finished in black and is awash with switches and gauges signature E-Type fashion
The original Smiths white on black gauges are all in working condition and present well
A Phillips M/L wave push button radio is fitted but not currently connected
The three spoke alloy, wooden rimmed steering wheel is in excellent condition with the original E-Type boss
The headlining is a tightly fitted and unmarked condition
The luggage compartment is finished in blue leather with rubber topped chrome protective strips fitted
Under the boot floor there is a full-sized wire spare wheel and accompanying tools
This is a delightful period-correct interior in an excellent overall condition. Understood to have been included in the restoration of around 2008, the cabin gives you everything you would expect from a Series 1 E-Type.
The big Smiths tachometer and speedometer set the tone and sit behind the attractive alloy and wood, three-spoked steering wheel. There’s a wealth of period detail to enjoy in this interior, right down to the leaping jaguars on the chrome seatbelt buckles.
The Exterior
The exterior is finished in deep and lustrous Opalescent Silver Blue
The exterior presentation is really excellent throughout
The panel gaps are tight and symmetrical and the doors, bonnet, and boot open and close freely and positively
The light lenses, front and back, are clear and undamaged
The cabin glass appears to be original and free from imperfection
Assumed to have been repainted in around 2008, the restoration has lasted very well
The brightly chromed wire wheels are attached with “Jaguar” inscribed twin-eared spinners
The wheels are shod with period-correct 185/15 Dunlop SP Sport radials
These all appear to retain an excellent depth of tread
The chrome of the bumpers and window surrounds is clear and shiny
No areas of notable imperfection were noticed during our inspection
The fixed head coupe (FHC) iteration of the E-Type really exhibits the timeless design language most purely. There are many D-Type cues to please the eye and this car looks sleek and muscular in its Silver Blue paintwork.
Like the interior, it is the period detail that is so pleasing. The purposeful vents on the long bonnet, the faired in headlights and those sublime wire wheels all combine so well to exude both elegance and power in true E-Type fashion. It is no accident that the E-Type remains one of the most recognisable profiles some 60 years after its launch.
The Mechanics
This E-Type is fitted with the erstwhile 4.2L straight six engine which appeared for the first time in the Series 1
The engine breathes through three, 2-inch SU carburettors
Originally rated at 265 bhp giving the car 150mph plus potential
Power is fed to the rear wheels via a full synchromesh, four-speed manual gearbox
The current owner has continued to improve the mechanical condition during his tenure
This includes new fuel pump, steering linkages, and shock absorbers
He also fitted electronic ignition, a sport coil, silicon leads, hoses, brake master and slave cylinders
A new clutch has been fitted during his ownership
The car has covered less than 5,000 miles in his ownership so these upgrades can be considered recent
Given these improvements combined with the low mileage results in an excellent mechanical presentation
Being very happy with the bodily condition of the car when he acquired it, the current owner has focused on undertaking any mechanical improvements he felt the car required. As a result, this is an E-Type that is very well sorted mechanically and ready to drive away by the lucky new owner.
