Seller's description: This Jaguar E-Type was exported to New York when new in 1966 and spent its first 22 years in the hands of the original owner in Long Beach, California. From there, it returned to its homeland in 1988, where it spent another 31 years before being purchased in 2019 by the current Italian owner.

It has undergone various interventions over the years, all documented by invoices, including a complete engine overhaul by a British specialist before being exported to Italy.

The car retains all original numbers for the gearbox, engine, and body. While the current color is period-correct, it is not the original color, which, according to the Heritage Certificate, was cream. The interior, in its original black, remains as it was from the factory.

The car has CRS (Certificato di Rilevanza Storica), is regularly registered in Italy, and is ready for use.

Price: € 96,000
