Auction description:

9th Oct, 2024 Imperial War Museum Duxford, Cambridgeshire

1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster

Estimate £65,000 - £75,000

Registration No: RJA 400N

Chassis No: 1S2652

MOT: August 2025

1 of just 1,872 RHD examples made and fitted with the more desirable four-speed manual gearbox

Benefitting from a full repaint to a very high standard in 2020

Maintained and significantly improved regardless of cost by Jaguar specialists P & K Thornton Restoration 2006-2022

Matching chassis and engine numbers, and presented in its original colour combination

Chassis 1S2652 was despatched new on the 29th March 1974 to the supplying dealer, Henlys of Manchester. A desirable manual gearbox example and finished from the factory in Signal Red paintwork with Biscuit leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, pleasingly this is the colour combination it still presents in today. Purchased into previous ownership in 2006, the then owner maintained the E-Type regardless of cost, entrusting the maintenance and improvements almost exclusively to well-renowned specialists P & K Thornton Restoration with the total expenditure during his ownership (2006-2022) reaching almost £61,000. Notable works during this time include a comprehensive mechanical check, refresh and service in 2021-22 costing c.£10,000; full repainting in the original colour scheme in 2020; suspension refresh in 2019; and interior re-trim during 2009, amongst much more!

Offered now having covered just 68,000 miles with MOTs back to the 1990s corroborating the mileage, the E-Type is offered with a substantial history file comprising numerous invoices from the previous ownership, Jaguar Heritage Trust Heritage Certificate, a large collection of previous MOTs, a current no advisory MOT until August 2025, and a V5C document showing just five former keepers. Boasting matching chassis and engine numbers, this notably well-presented V12 Roadster started readily, and both ran and drove excellently during the recent photography session. Completed many a successful long-distance trip during the vendor's ownership, the E-Type is due to be driven to the sale, and has much to recommend it.
