Auction description:

Imperial War Museum, Duxford 19/06/2019

1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Lot 101

Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000

Registration No:MVU991G

Chassis No:J691R41950BW

- Imported from the USA in 1990 and converted to right-hand drive

- One former keeper in the UK and c.74,000 recorded miles

- Restored c.5 years ago and repainted in its original colour

- Offered with Heritage Certificate

The Heritage Certificate shows this example was built in May 1969 as a 2+2 Coupe with an automatic gearbox, a factory option solely available for that body style. Destined for the US market, its coachwork was finished in metallic brown 'Sable' with tan leather interior, a combination very in keeping with its era. The history file shows the car was imported to the UK in 1990 and converted to right-hand drive, and five years ago it underwent a substantial body and mechanical restoration including a repaint in its original colour. The car is now described as having 'excellent' interior and mechanicals and features triple Weber DCOE carburettors in place of the emission-controlled Zenith-Stromberg units that would have been fitted in the US. The odometer shows 74,000 miles which is supported by MOTs as far back as 1996.
