Auction description;
NEC Classic Motor Show Sale 2017
1968 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2 Fixedhead Coupe
Lot No.: 646
Registration: EFX 337C
Chassis Number: 1E35344
Engine Number: 7E167859
Number of cylinders: 6
CC: 4373
Year of Manufacture: 1968
Estimate (£): 75,000 - 90,000

A Jaguar Heritage certificate show this particular Series I 4.2 Fixed Head Coupe was supplied new on 4th April 1968 in left-hand drive by Jaguar Cars New York to a Captain P.J. Ognibene. Much of the history of the car is largely unknown, but we believe the car was imported to the UK in 2014 when a restoration was commenced with a previous owner. At this time it was converted to right-hand drive and registered in October 2016 with the DVLA issuing 'EFX 337C' as its registration.

Since then the car has undergone further improvements with a full body respray in Black and a full interior retrim by respected specialists Aldridge Trimmers. Other modifications have included the fitting of triple Weber carburetors, a tubular stainless-steel exhaust manifold, an uprated aluminium radiator with thermostatic control, a new steering rack, new hoses, belts, doors-handles, lights, engine mounts, water pump and a new sump. There are bills in the history file for parts alone totalling over £6,000.

This makes this rejuvenated E-type a very useable classic with some small tweaks to aid everyday driving. Supplied with a UK V5c, this smart Series 1 FHC represents an opportunity to sample the delights of E-Type motoring.

Auction description:
ESTIMATE £65,000- £70,000
Auction True Greats 2017
Lot Number 131
Reg. Number UK Registered
Chassis Number 1E35344
Year 1968
Make Jaguar
Model E-Type Series 1 4.2 Litre Fixed Head Coupe

The Series 1 4.2 offered here has been modified to a fast road example and is fitted with sports triple Webber Carburetors for intake and a tubular stainless steel manifold for the exhaust. It also has an uprated aluminium radiator with thermostatic control, probably as much for beauty as for functionality! This car really is the subject of much recent work which whilst not exhaustive include a full retrim and respray, a new steering rack, hoses, belts, chrome work, door handles, lights, engine mounts, plugs, leads, waterpump, sump, bushes, ball joints, brakes and servo, reaction valve - the list goes on. In fact the vendor estimates that well over £20,000 has been spent in 2017 alone. The car is supported by a Jaguar Heritage Certificate, recent MOT and V5C registration. Believed by many to be the most desirable model, retaining the beauty of the early cars while benefitting from the later modifications, this car represents an excellent opportunity to own one of Jaguar's best.
