This work includes, re-built engine, full front and rear suspension overhaul with new Koni shock absorbers. The braking system seems all to have been renewed, and the car has a new aluminium radiator and a new Webasto sun-roof.

Auction description:

18th Mar, 2026 Kelham Hall | Newark, Nottinghamshire

1970 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2

Registration No: DPA 72H

Chassis No: P1R35710BW

MOT: Exempt

1 of just 1,040 RHD home-market examples built

Matching chassis and engine numbers

Subject to much previous restorative work, both cosmetically and mechanically

Supplied new with a Borg-Warner automatic gearbox which is retained today

On offer from a deceased estate

This Series II 2+2 with matching chassis and engine numbers has been preserved in excellent order following its exhaustive restoration by a meticulous Canadian enthusiast throughout the 1990s. As an original, right-hand drive British-market car, it is already something of rarity, as only 1,040 Series II 2+2s were built to home-market specification. The Borg-Warner automatic gearbox adds to its desirability, as does the Webasto (or Webasto-style) sunroof. The Borg-Warner is original fitment and the sunroof is believed to be—if it is so, they represent an especially scarce combination.

At some point, the E-type migrated to Germany, where it was bought as a restoration project in 1989 by Mr. Johannes Siebert of Creston, British Columbia, Canada. When the car was evaluated by Aero International Auto Appraisals in 2005, Mr. Siebert’s report said: “Spent twelve years on and off, thousands of hours and $50,000-plus to date doing a total cosmetic and mechanical restoration.” The appraisal rated every area of the car as either “excellent” or “fine.”

The car returned to British roads in May, 2013, and was sold to a new owner that December. In 2015, it was offered for sale through New Forest Classic Cars, which praised the “almost flawless paintwork,” and in 2016 it was purchased by the late recent owner. Some very light fettling was performed during 2017 and 2018, but the for the most part the owner enjoyed using the Jaguar, and took part in events with his local classic car club. The E-type is supplied with paperwork including wiring diagrams, a service and lubrication chart, a modern copy of an original Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook, MOTs dating between 2013 and 2022, some invoices, and the latest V5C.
