Auction description:
London 7 September 2015
1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Fixed Head Coupé
Without Reserve

Chassis no. 1E 32907
Engine no. 7E 8909-9
Two Swiss owners from new
Believed to be 60,000 miles from new
Minor upgrades for improved drivability

This wonderful 4.2-litre Fixed Head Coupé was delivered new to Switzerland, where it resides today, and was purchased by its current custodian's father in 2002 from the original owner. It is said to be a highly original example, as it still boasts its original interior, which has held up quite well over the years. Looking to drive and enjoy his E-Type on a regular basis, the original owner upgraded the standard ignition to a magnetic one. Drivability was further enhanced by fitting a stronger cooling fan; although, the car is accompanied by the original fan as well. Additionally, the 60,000 miles showing on its odometer are believed to be original.

As it is still said to be an excellent driver, thanks to proper maintenance, care, and some minor upgrades, this example would be an excellent choice for the enthusiast looking to drive one of Jaguar's most iconic cars on a regular basis. As such, it should not be overlooked.
