1969 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Roadster

EStimate: £28,000 - £32,000

Registration No:Un-Reg

Chassis No:1R9617

- Matching numbers, LHD USA car

- NOVA declared

- Heritage certificate supplied

The heritage certificate that accompanies this matching numbers, lefthand drive Series 2 E-Type tells us that it was manufactured on May 29, 1969 and dispatched some five weeks later to British Leyland New York for delivery to its first keeper. At the time, its Dark Blue interior trim was matched to Light Blue bodywork, but somewhere along the way that has been repainted Gold. There's no denying that the Jaguar currently looks pretty sad, but appears to be largely complete and reasonably solid, and is therefore ripe for a full restoration, which is exactly what it was selected for by a marque expert. It is NOVA declared and ready to be returned to its former glory.
