This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a stalled restoration project which has had a great deal of the hard work already completed. The main bodyshell, including the doors and the tailgate are completely rust free and have already had some basic bodywork performed. The engine frames appear to be extremely solid, and the floors and boot floor are totally sound. The bonnet has not been repaired and will require restoration.

Mechanically, the engine and transmission are both the matching number originals. The engine has apparently been rebuilt, although it should obviously be thoroughly checked out prior to firing as it has been sitting in storage for many years.

The sale includes several significant new parts, including a complete interior kit (in red) and a complete stainless steel exhaust system.

We are in the process of loosely reassembling the car so for transportation purposes, it will be rolling and steering. Many of the loose parts will be carefully stored inside the car for shipping.

We are representing the car as being virtually complete. If it is missing anything at all, it will be nothing of significance. The sale does not include tools or a jack.

We recently purchased this vehicle in pieces out of a closed down restoration facility in Oklahoma where it had been sitting untouched for almost twenty years. As a partially disassembled project, this matching number E Type is obviously being sold strictly 'as is, where is'. Clear title conveys to the new owner.

Offers invited!

Auction description:

1967 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe

The subject of a three-year, bare metal restoration

Lot 75 (Imperial War Museum Duxford, Wed, 8th Sep 2021)

Estimate £100,000 - £120,000

Registration No: ABW 516F

Chassis No: 1E34597

MOT: Exempt

Just emerged from an extensive, three-year, bare metal mechanical and cosmetic restoration

Matching chassis and engine numbers and all original panelwork

An exceptionally sharp car which would not disgrace a concours field

If you are in the market for a Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe then we would urge you to come and inspect this example before buying another car. Completed on 15th August 1967, chassis 1E34597 was supplied new to Lieutenant Commander Robert H. Dumbaugh of the US Navy. Taken off the road during the late 1990s, the two-seater spent almost twenty years in store with an Oklahoma-based restoration company before being imported to the UK. A Jaguar specialist, the vendor has spent the past three years painstakingly refurbishing the E-Type and tells us that the Fixed Head Coupe not only retains its original engine and gearbox but also all its original panels. Finished in Opalescent Silver Grey with contrasting Red leather upholstery, we estimate that the work would have cost in the region of £250,000 + VAT had it been carried out by a ‘big name’ restorer. Indeed, the seller informs us that he dares not count-up the man hours which have gone into the project. Converted to right-hand drive and fitted with triple SU carburettors, ‘ABW 516F’ further benefits from an alloy radiator, twin cooling fans and new MWS wire wheels. Starting readily upon inspection and running very sweetly, this drop dead gorgeous E-Type is understandably described by the seller as being in ‘excellent’ condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork. Offered for sale with UK V5C Registration Document, Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and a large quantity of bills. Viewing is highly recommended!
