One of just 1 of 1,583 right-hand drive 4.2 Fixed Head Coupes, ‘DXJ’ had previously been cherished in a 31 year long-term ownership from 1988 until September, 2019 and was the owners ‘pride and joy’, which included lots of shows and rallies with press articles about the car included in the history file.

Presenting in British Racing Green and displaying some 123,450 credible miles from new, the E-Type is said to present with an excellent body and engine. Indeed, at an undetermined date, ‘DXJ’ benefitted from a restoration with photographs included in the history file evidencing the restoration that took place. Other work included the servicing of the carburettors in 2015. In current ownership ‘DXJ 513C’ has received a repaint and new set of wire wheels.

Recently treated to a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaul

Sporting the Manchester-issued number plate ‘DXJ 513C’, chassis 1E20692 is understood to have been extensively restored whilst belonging to its longest term keeper who retained possession from 1988 – 2019. Accompanying photographs indicate that the Jaguar was comprehensively stripped before being treated to a thorough mechanical and cosmetic renovation. Finished in the iconic combination of British Racing Green with Suede Green leather upholstery, the latter carries sufficient patina to suggest that it could have been factory installed. The cylinder head is stamped with the same number listed on the chassis plate and the inlet and exhaust manifolds both appear to be original factory components. A regular show attendee over the years, the E-Type still carries stickers for the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ and Jaguar Drivers’ Clubs. Fitted with new wire wheels prior to entering the current ownership, the two-seater has been further improved more recently courtesy of a bare metal repaint and carburettor overhaul. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 124,000 miles from new with paperwork on file dating back to the 1980s, the E-Type is also accompanied by a workshop manual, collection of SNG Barratt invoices, assorted old MOTs and numerous other bills. An original, right-hand drive E-Type Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe in an appealing colour scheme, Jaguars rarely come more collectible.
