Seller's description:
Our famous 'WM Sport GT' Car #1 is now available for sale, with only 1500 miles on the clock.

The ultimate in power, luxury and bespoke craftsmanship.

The car is the epitome of true, continental GT car; a classic Jaguar that will effortlessly convey two people and their luggage in luxury and comfort from London to St Tropez. With a reliable and race proven engine that delivers close to 400BHP from its 4.7 litres and boasting in excess of 400 ft lb of torque, the WM Sport GT is a stunning classic to rival the most powerful and accomplished of sports cars.

But it’s not just the power and performance of the car or its stopping power delivered by ventilated disc brakes and six-pot calipers to the front and 4 pot to the rear; the WM Sport GT has a stunning level of bespoke built, custom features throughout its construction. Sumptuous leather and Alcantara trim adorn the interior of the car, while custom-made seats combine a classic look with body hugging contours and high levels of comfort. The chunky but period-looking steering wheel sits perfectly to hand above a bespoke pedal box and hidden inertia reel seatbelts, which all combine to create the perfect driving environment. And when it’s time for a break, the leather-trimmed underfloor storage compartment is the perfect solution for your on-the-road refreshment.

Under the bonnet, the classic wide-angle Jaguar cylinder head sits atop a block bored to 4.7 litres. Three side draft Weber 48 DCOE carburettors and a performance air filter deal with the breathing requirements, while a white ceramic coated manifold leads to a fully custom-built exhaust system with polished tailpipes. Power is transmitted via Woodham Mortimer’s own 5 speed gearbox and a PowerloK LSD. Numerous other unique under-bonnet details complete the incredible engine bay. Handling is provided by fully adjustable Gaz coil over dampers and racing anti-roll bars that provide sure footed handling with all the comfort you’d expect in a car of this type.

Sitting on 15 inch Dunlop racing style wheels and Avon tyres, the body is subtly widened to accommodate the extra wheel width, giving the car similar dimensions to the original and legendary lightweight racing E-Types. With bespoke chrome work free of overriders, the car has a purposeful stance that will leave observers fully aware that this is serious performance car.

Auction description:

The Bolesworth Castle May 2025 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction, 4th May, 2025

1966 Jaguar E-type Series 1

The One-of-One by Woodham Mortimer: 4.7 Sport GT, their vision of E-type perfection, evoking the look and feel of lightweight racing Es, was showcased at Salon Privé

Registration – UCA 831D

Chassis No. – 1E32707

M.O.T. – Exempt

Odometer – 2,143

‘UCA831D’ underwent the most diligent and far reaching restoration and upgrading during 2020 at the hands of a long established British Jaguar specialist. This ground up restoration, today, results in a highly evolved example of the E Type with stunning looks, awesome performance and astounding dynamics. ‘UCA831D’ is reported to deliver close to 400 bhp and 400 Ib-ft of torque and features a long list of accompanying upgrades to give this sublime Jaguar real-word performance and usability. With just two keepers since its 2020 rebirth and just a few thousand miles covered since then, this is a true one of kind opportunity to own a 1966 E Type with 2025 capabilities.

‘UCA831D’ presents in gleaming Portofino Blue which exudes a deep lustre from the Jaguar’s subtly flared wings and arches. The fitment of a staggered set – 7J at the front and 8J at the rear – 15 inch Dunlop style racing wheels necessitates some extra clearance. These striking performance wheels are affixed with central, twin eared spinners. Other than the aforementioned upgrades and the flush fitted chrome bumpers the iconic Sayer design is left to speak for itself. ‘UCA831D’s’ cabin has received the same sort of subtle but high-quality reworking, too. A bespoke seat design features with red leather bolsters vying for attention with Alcantara finished central sections in vertical box pleats. The door panels have received an upgrade, too, with leather top rolls and pleated Alcantara for the remainder. The familiar dashboard retains delightful originality complete with the Series I toggle switches and original three spoke Jaguar steering wheel. Front and rear heated screens are also fitted for optimum convenience as are cleverly concealed inertia reel seatbelts.

Lifting that curvaceous clamshell bonnet reveals where the majority of the most profound upgrades have been made, however. The legendary 4.2-litre XK engine has been bored out to 4.7-litres and fitted with three side draught Weber 48 DCOE carburettors, an upgraded Jenvey throttle body and a performance air filter. A ceramic coated custom manifold is exhaust wrapped for thermal efficiency and leads to a fully custom built, free flow exhaust system with polished tail pipes. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a bespoke 5 speed sports gearbox and distributed via a 3.31 Powerlok limited slip differential. Adjustable Gaz coil-over suspension is fitted all round together with uprated anti-roll bars and bushes. Upgraded vented discs are present all round with six piston and four piston callipers fitted to the front and rear respectively. An electric vacuum pump assists the actuation of the brake servo. Those stunning E Type looks combined with this most sophisticated of mechanical specifications truly make ‘UCA831D’ the most desirable and accomplished of sporting Jaguars.
