This 1967 Jaguar E-Type 2+2, comes to market from almost 5 years with our vendor, it is finished in red with a black leather interior and comes with an impressive provenance of maintenance, upkeep, and cosmetic work spanning two decades and totalling almost £14,000. It has seen an additional £2,200 of mechanical expenditure under current ownership and has been garaged throughout. It is offered with two sets of keys, the owner's handbook, and MOT certificates dating back to 1996.

The exterior makes a positive impression, with good panel alignment and uniform gaps throughout. No visible panel damage appears on the bodywork. However, minor bubbling under the paint is present below the offside rear corner of the rear valance, alongside further bubbling on the nearside rear arch and both sills. We also noted minor cracks at the base of both rear arches. Closing the doors takes slight effort, likely due to the rubber seals, while the driver door latch mechanism may benefit from minor adjustment.

The underside looks solid - the floor pan shows minor signs of age, but the suspension mountings, wheel wells, boot floor and engine bay are all clean.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our high-resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view of what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

Paint

The red paintwork shows consistent coverage. Whilst bright sunlight reveals light swirling across the finish, it retains a good shine.

A few minor marks are present, including small bubbles under the paint on the boot lid, faint marks near the boot opening, and a slight imperfection on the top of the bonnet. The black marks on the offside corner of the bonnet near the headlight are purely superficial.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The windscreen displays a minor lamination mark on the passenger side, alongside a few faint scuffs on the passenger window glass. The lights and lenses are in good condition.

The trim remains in good condition with no significant issues. Both bumpers are securely mounted and look smart.

Interior

Upholstered in rich leather with fine appointments, the cabin remains beautifully preserved.

Seats and Carpets

The black leather seats present cleanly and offer comfortable support - the carpets remain in good condition.

Whilst the passenger footwell is missing a small section of carpet, it shows no signs of dampness elsewhere.

The boot is tidy, suggesting careful and light use.

Dashboard

The dashboard presents smartly, with no issues affecting the padding or centre console. A few minor signs of wear appear on the facia, but the dials, iconic toggle switches and controls remain in good order, with all reported to function correctly.

The door cards and the remaining interior trim are in good condition, whilst the fabric headlining is in excellent shape

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The car is fitted with a smaller wood-rimmed steering wheel, which looks smart.

The gear lever is in good order, showing minor patina on the selector.

Mechanics

A confident performer, the renowned XK straight six delivers muscular torque and effortless, silky power.

Engine and Gearbox

The engine fires up smoothly within a few seconds of cranking and settles quickly into a steady, rhythmic idle. It is free from rattles or clattering, and all the dashboard lights remain off. Apart from the expected cold engine condensation, the exhaust remains clear throughout.

The engine presents cleanly, with everything pointing towards regular maintenance and upkeep.

The three-speed automatic gearbox operates without any reported faults, engaging smoothly and free from any unwanted noise.

Suspension and Brakes

The car absorbs road surfaces without any issues, delivering a supple and composed ride that soaks up bumps and road imperfections without any clunks or negative feedback.

The brakes have been upgraded to a Coopercraft set, which adds confidence to how the car stops.

No wobbles or vibrations were noted.
