Auction description:
1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre Coupé
Chassis no. 1E31380

* Delivered new to Rome, Italy
* Resident in Italy from new
* Present ownership since 1970
* Professionally maintained since acquisition
* Original colour scheme and matching numbers

According to the JDHT Certificate on file, this E-Type left the factory on 21st July 1965 and was despatched to the official Jaguar importer in Rome, Fattori & Montani. Since 1970 the car has been cared for by the current owner, who at that time owned a Jaguar-Rover workshop based in Naples in Southern Italy. Since that date it has always been meticulously cared for and only used on classic car events and special occasions. It is believed that since its acquisition in 1970, the car has only covered some 5,000 kilometres out of the believed-genuine total of 48,795 displayed on the odometer at time of cataloguing.

As one would expect of such provenance, the E-Type has been regularly serviced by the dealership's trained mechanics, who are used to caring for marques as diverse as Jaguar, Rover, BMW, Ferrari, and Honda. In 2014 the car benefited from a comprehensive service, which included fitting a new clutch, new front and rear oil seals, new belts, a new set of tyres, new brake discs, and brake pistons. At the same time it was repainted in the original cream livery.

The car is offered with Italian registration documents, ASI Targo Oro, and the aforementioned JDHT Certificate. A rare opportunity to purchase a classic E-Type Coupé - resident in Italy from new - with continuous history from 1970 and which has clearly been well looked after.
