Car to be at auction 8/25

www.historics.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-117---1970-jaguar-e-type-series-ii-22/

Auction description:

19th Jul, 2025 The Summer Serenade; Windsorview Lakes

Lot 117

1970 Jaguar E-Type Series II 2+2

Getrag five speed gearbox - History file back to the early 1970's

Estimate £22,000 - £26,000

Registration: HWC 2H

Chassis No: P1R35784BW

Odometer: 8,497

Excellent history file going back to the mid 1970’s

Many MoT certificate’s going back to 1973

Getrag five-speed gearbox and top end engine rebuild less than 10,000 miles ago

This example is presented in the fetching shade of Primrose Yellow and quite remarkably, has a history file going right back to the early 1970’s. Virtually every MoT certificate from 2006 back to the very first in 1973 is present, which appears to verify the mileage at around 108,000. Most notably, a huge amount of work was carried out on the car between Mr Drury’s purchase in 1997 and the mid 2000’s, in which time the car was fitted with a Getrag five-speed gearbox, new flywheel and clutch and was also treated to a top end engine rebuild in 2007. The car only appears to have covered around 10,000 miles since Mr Drury’s purchase in 1997 and the engine sounded particularly sweet on our visit to the car. In 1998, the car was fully stripped down for some cosmetic restoration and a respray, with photos showing the work carried out. As the car stands now, it has a nice patina but would benefit from some cosmetic attention to bring it to the next level, though this car would really be an ideal useable example which seems to have had plenty of money lavished on it over the long tenure of Mr Drury, with little mileage covered since. The interior appears to be original, though there is a bill for some new carpets fitted in the early 2000’s, around the time the five-speed gearbox was fitted. Supplied to auction with a V5C registration document, old MoT’s and parts catalogues, as well as a wonderful history file containing seemingly every invoice the car has ever had!
