This splendid matching numbers and original UK righthand drive roadster, is presented in red with black leather having retained its original interior, seats and hood. The car had a major rebuild in 1984 which included the engine and gearbox; the car has only covered a mere 8,439 miles since then. Since these works were undertaken, there have been various works carried out; in 1994 new differential oil seals and handbrake pads were fitted and in 2000, new rear brake callipers. In 2001 and 2002, new rear brake discs and new rear bumpers together with rear exhaust tail pipes were fitted; electronic ignition was fitted in 2006. An overhaul of the brake system was carried out in 2016 with a new master cylinder fitted together with Zeus rear brake callipers. The car comes supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until 31st May 2018, together with the previous MoT's dating back to 1984. Owned by the current vendor for the last 25 years, this Jaguar E-Type has been well cared for throughout his stewardship.

Jaguar E-Type S1 Roadster., built December 1967, registered January 1968. Original, UK, matching numbers with Heritage Certificate. In excellent and very original condition throughout. Still in her original colour of Carmen Red with black leather interior, and her original number plate. She's a beautiful car and a delight to drive. As a late Series 1, colloquially known as a Series 1. 5, she combines the pure aesthetic of the original design concept with some of the mechanical and electrical improvements of the Series 2. I've owned the car since 2018 and have covered about 6000 miles and enjoyed every one of them! During my ownership she's been professionally maintained to the highest standards with almost all components that are subject to wear being replaced or up-graded to ensure reliability, including: Halogen headlights, Fosseway aluminium radiator and electric fan, expansion tank and silicon hoses, Lucas coil, leads and 123 Distributor with electronic ignition, Steering rack, Alternator, Fosseway starter motor, Brake master cylinder, Brake servo, Fosseway heat shield, Stainless steel exhaust, Fuel pump plus new Springs and shock absorbers all round. She's just had a new clutch fitted and while the engine and gearbox were out the e-type specialists overhauled the engine and fitted new seals, bearings, high compression pistons, timing chain and oil pump. In addition the head was re-furbished and new valves, seats and springs fitted. Its MOT in October 25 had two advisories – a loose spoke (!) and small oil leak; both fixed. She runs perfectly and is great to drive, I've enjoyed many holidays with her, last year we did LeMans Classic, a tour of the Peak District and two driving holidays in Wales. Having her 100% reliable and properly maintained has been an obsession of mine and she's properly sorted. She's a great, reliable car that's ULEZ, road tax and MOT exempt.

Regarding the bonnet, the S1 bonnet now fitted is not likely original either.
