Data are comming from Classic Car heritage-vehicle trace certificate no: 02261.

My car is 8 days older and has a higher number than yours, interesting. Is this possible, or is my certificate wrong.

Vielleicht konnten wir uns mal per mail, mal weiter unterhalten um raus zu finden wo der Hacken sitzt.

This mail has no intention to alarm or stess one of us. i just would like to find out how this is possible.

kind regards: nol from holland

1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 FHC

52,719 Miles (Indicated)

LHD manual

Bergtheim, Germany

This Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 FHC is an iconic and highly desirable classic, benefitting from a full rotisserie restoration.

It is powered by a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated inline-six, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

First registered in 1965, this example was previously registered in the US and is now registered in Germany.

The seller states that they purchased the car in 2009.

The odometer indicates 52,719 miles, though this is not warranted.

The seller states that the car has covered circa 3,500 miles since the completion of the restoration.

This is a matching-numbers example, confirmed by its Heritage Certificate.

Equipment and features

This E-Type is finished in Gunmetal Grey metallic, complemented by a black leather-trimmed interior featuring classic bucket seats and an early 3.8-litre aluminium dashboard.

It rides on a set of 15-inch chrome cross-spoke wire wheels with two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tyres.

Equipment now includes an oil cooler with a spin-on oil filter and thermostat, a reinforced front anti-roll bar, a 2.88:1 power-lock differential, reinforced front and rear brakes, a 123 electronic ignition system, a Bell Big Bore exhaust system (manifold and exhaust), tinted windows, and a push-button radio.

Accompanied by a large collection of historical documents, restoration documentation including photographs and invoices, and inspection reports, as well as a Heritage Certificate, a copy of a US certificate of title, a valuation report, and two sets of keys.

Service history

The seller states that it was most recently serviced in October 2025 at an indicated 52,615 miles.

The seller states that, owing to the low mileage covered since the restoration, maintenance has been carried out by the seller, with no parts replaced other than the oil and air filters.

The seller states that during the restoration, the mechanical upgrades listed above were fitted and the car was converted from its original green/beige colour scheme to Gunmetal Grey metallic with a black 3.8-litre-style interior.

The seller notes that the restoration involved 3,500 hours of in-house/personal work, 401 hours of bodywork, and 246 hours of paintwork.

A large selection of invoices relating to the restoration process is included.
