This particular Jaguar E-type has a remarkable unbroken ownership since new. 48 years ago, the July 15th, 1966 Elgestad father and son, from the most fashionable neighborhood of Stockholm, Sweden, visited the Jaguar factory to collect a new Jaguar each. The father chose a black Mark X, and his 29 years old son, Dr Pekka Olavi Elgestad, this opalescent dark green E-type. Both these Jaguars have remained in the family's ownership until Dr. Elgestad´s recent death.
With only 64,000 kilometers on the odometer it might be one of the most original 4,2 L fixed head coupés in the world. No accidents, never rusted and with a complete untouched interior, it appears to be the opportunity of getting closed to the feeling of driving an E-type as it felt when it was just leaving the factory. Under the bonnet the engine has never been touched by any polishing machines, something you will never find with restored cars. It has been thoroughly serviced and maintained over the years. And, not so much because of wear but because of its age, a few years ago, Doctor Elgestad ordered a complete restoration of the front and rear suspensions. Bushings, bearings, shock absorbers and brakes were renewed only using original Jaguar parts. The only non original piece under the bonnet seems to be the more effective radiator fan. Since new, the car has also been protected against rust with the Dinol-method.
The 1966 4,2 L E-type is the last and most sorted of the Series 1 E and most surely the best of them all to drive. The chance to find one in this untouched condition will probably never occur again. It has still the delivery paper from Jaguar and HWK 406D, the plate the car got when delivered new.

An ultimate preservation class E Type. A one owner car that is unrestored and completely original. It is unlikely that many people booked a one way ticket from Stockholm to Coventry in 1966, but that is exactly what father and son did. Waiting for them upon their arrival was no tourist coach however, instead their onward journey would be made in a gleaming pair of brand new Jaguars. On 15th July 1966 Elgestad senior and junior arrived at Browns Lane to collect their respective new motorcars; a black Mark X for the father and this Opalescent Dark Green E Type for his son.

The drive back to Stockholm must certainly have left an enduring impression as the 29 year old Pekka Elgestad would go on to keep his E Type until his recent passing. In Mr Elgestad's ownership the E Type has never been damaged, dismantled or restored and remains in unbelievable, original condition. A complete recommission of the front and rear suspension was completed in 2005 and the bodywork has been continually rust protected from new. Presented today in quite outstanding original condition, and now re-registered on its original 1966 Coventry number plates, this really is an opportunity like no other.
