1964 Jaguar E-Type Series I Fixedhead Coupé

Registration TBA
Chassis Number 890613
Engine Number 7E12751-9
Estimate £48,000 - £56,000

This lefthand drive Series I was imported to the UK from Ottawa at the beginning of 2014 when it was stripped down ready for re-painting. At the same time, the engine and gearbox were removed and when the rebuild started, the opportunity was taken to replace the clutch assembly, replace the gearbox seals and fit a new clutch slave cylinder. The car still has its original 3.8 litre cylinder block but has been fitted with a later 4.2 litre cylinder head. Before refitting to the E-Type, a number of other items were checked and restored. This included rebuilding the braking system, supplying and fitting a 'spin-on' oil filter, overhauling the prop-shaft and fitting a new exhaust system. Finished in Signal Red with black interior, this exceptional example is supplied with the paperwork for registration in the UK including an MoT test certificate which expires in January 2016 and the Ottawa registration document. Also with the car is a file of invoices which show the works carried out in the UK during 2014.
