This E-Type coupé was sold new in the UK via Henlys Ltd, its first owner being one H Gogard of South Harrow, Middlesex; the original registration was 'DYW 885C'. We are advised by the vendor that the car has had three previous owners, and that the recorded mileage of 66,779 is genuine. Of particular note is this car's 'semi-lightweight' specification, the complete bonnet and lower panel, front wings, side doors and under-bonnet panels being made of aluminium.

In storage for ten years prior to 2008, the E-Type was acquired by the current vendor in January 2010, since when it has benefited from extensive restoration and improvement, with most of the work being carried out over the last three years. Foremost among these works is the fitting of a complete new engine and complete new clutch in 2015 by Jim Stokes Workshops at a cost of over £11,000 (invoice in folder). Yet to be run in (it has only 400 miles on its bores), the engine boasts reconditioned carburettors and a new water pump, and has been upgraded with a 123 GB 6-R-V electronic ignition distributor, 123 ignition coil and silicone plug leads. The radiator and coolant hoses are new, while cooling has been further improved by the installation of an electric fan complete with bespoke fan cowling. A new fuel tank, high pressure fuel pump, and a complete stainless steel exhaust system were fitted in 2014. An alternator and a new battery were fitted in 2015.

Turning to the transmission and running gear: the limited slip differential and drive shafts were completely overhauled, and new rubber mountings fitted in 2014/2015, while in the last three years all wheel bearings, track rod ends, suspension joints and bushes have been replaced as have all four shock absorbers (bills in folder). The braking system has been upgraded with new Cooper Craft aluminium 4-pot callipers and an improved handbrake linkage, while all four brake discs, the brake pipes, master cylinder and servo have been renewed in the last three years. Fewer than 400 miles have been covered since the brakes were overhauled. All five wire wheels, locking spinners and tyres are new, and likewise have not covered more than 400 miles.

Cosmetic improvements include re-chroming the bumpers and all other brightwork; renewing both headlights and their glass covers (in 2014); and fitting new number plate lights, reversing light and chrome surround. A complete new rubber seal kit has been fitted to the entire body, and new windscreen and rear tailgate glass installed. Re-trimmed in leather by Rawles Motor Sport, the interior is completely new, including the dashboard panel and carpet set (see invoice for over £6,000 in folder). Other noteworthy features include a Toad (CAT 1) alarm system/immobiliser and two remote-control key fobs. A new and unused low-level trolley jack is included in the sale.

All bills relating to the E-Type's restoration are included in the accompanying folder together with a photographic record of the work, a quantity of expired MoT certificates dating back to 1994, and a Jaguar Heritage Certificate. The car also comes with a V5C registration document and MoT to 2017. The only fault notified is a slight whine from the gearbox.

- Aluminium bonnet, under-bonnet panels and side doors
- c.66,000 miles only, original UK delivered RHD car
- Extensive history file of invoices for restoration work

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this original RHD UK supplied E-Type was manufactured on 19 February 1965 and sold via Henlys a month later to a Mr H Gogard of South Harrow, Middlesex. We understand that since that time the car has had just four previous keepers and that the mileage of c.66,300 miles recorded is genuine. In storage between 1998 and 2008, the car was then extensively restored by its previous owner with most of the work being carried out between 2012 and 2015.
Of particular interest is the fact that the bonnet, lower panel, front wings, side doors and under-bonnet panel have been crafted in aluminium giving the car a 'semi-lightweight' construction.

The comprehensive works carried out also included the fitment of a replacement engine by Jim Stokes Workshops in 2015 for which an invoice for £11,000 is contained in the detailed history file. This is still running in with less than 500 miles being covered since installation. The carburettors were also reconditioned and the car boasts an electric cooling fan whilst the ignition has been upgraded with an electronic distributor, 123 ignition coil and silicone plug leads. In 2014 a new fuel tank, high pressure fuel pump and stainless exhaust were fitted. Attention to the braking system included the fitment of Cooper Craft aluminium 4 pot calipers, new master cylinder and brake pipes. The limited slip differential and drive shafts were also overhauled. The brightwork has been re-chromed and a new windscreen, rear screen, chrome wire wheels and tyres have been fitted. The interior has been re-trimmed in grey leather by Rawles Motor Sport at a cost of some £6,000.

Offered with a comprehensive collection of invoices for the restoration, photographs, assorted old MoTs and current MoT to February 2017, this is an extremely attractive and enviably well specified E-Type.
