1965 Jaguar E-Type Series I 4.2 Roadster

Estimate €100,000 - €130,000

Aguttes - Fine Classics & Racing Cars, Paris, France

21 June, 2026

Lot 44

French registration title 

Major restoration work carried out between 2017 and 2019 in Dominique Tessier’s workshops.

Ordered new in New York, our 4.2-litre roadster was probably delivered to its first owner directly from the Coventry factory. It was imported into France in 2006 by Mr Tessier and remained registered in Touraine until 2023, when the current owner purchased it. 

Our example underwent a major restoration between 2017 and 2019 at Dominique Tessier’s workshops in Tours. The bodywork has been repainted in its original Carmen Red colour. The interior has been refitted with new black leather upholstery and matching carpets, as well as a new soft top. The mechanical components have also undergone a complete restoration; it should be noted that the engine is not the original one.

Having covered around 6,000 km since its restoration, our Type E is in excellent condition. It runs beautifully and is easy to drive thanks to its electric power steering. Please note that the brake master cylinder was replaced prior to sale. 

Restored in a renowned workshop and valued at €130,000 in 2023, this superb Type E is just waiting for its next owner to take to the road and turn every journey into a truly special experience.
