Auction description:
Sale 18209 - Collectors' Motor Cars and Automobilia, 6 Mar 2010
Oxford
Lot No: 418
1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre 2+2 Coupé
Registration no. FHJ 39D
Chassis no. 1E50112
Engine no. 7E51015-9
Sold for £35,600 inclusive of Buyer's Premium
An early example of its type (the 2+2 chassis number sequence commenced at '1E50001') this right-hand drive E-Type Coupé has the desirable manual transmission option. The car was purchased by the current vendor in 2000 having already undergone partial restoration, including a repaint, much of the work being carried out by Jaguar specialists, Martin Robey. Since then further restoration has been undertaken by D & A Dennis Engineers, of Essex, including £5,500-worth of general works to the chassis, interior, electrics, engine bay, body, etc. In addition, renowned marque specialists, J D Classics have carried out extensive renovation at a cost of circa £44,000. Systems overhauled/parts replaced included the suspension, brakes, sills, carburettors, exhaust, wiring, battery, radiator, fans, heater and sun visors, while the engine has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since a complete 'JD' rebuild (see full breakdown of works on file). More recently, the car has been fully serviced by Racing Green and fitted with a high torque starter motor. Completed in 2004 and described as in generally excellent condition, this ultimate British Gran Turismo is offered with sundry restoration invoices, current road fund licence, MoT to September 2010 and Swansea V5.

1966 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2-Litre 2+2 Coupé
Registration no. FHJ 39D Chassis no. 1E50112 Engine no. 7E51015-9
£38,000 - 46,000

An early example of its type (the 2+2 chassis number sequence commenced at '1E50001') this right-hand drive E-Type Coupé has the desirable manual transmission option. The car was purchased by the immediately preceding owner in 2000 having already undergone partial restoration, including a repaint, much of the work being carried out by Jaguar specialists, Martin Robey. Since then further restoration has been undertaken by D & A Dennis Engineers of Essex, including £5,500-worth of general works to the chassis, interior, electrics, engine bay, body, etc. In addition, renowned marque specialists, J D Classics carried out extensive renovation at a cost of circa £44,000, which was completed in 2004. Systems overhauled/parts replaced included the suspension, brakes, sills, carburettors, exhaust, wiring, battery, radiator, fans, heater and sun visors, (see full breakdown of works on file). Subsequently the car was fully serviced by Racing Green and fitted with a high torque starter motor.

The current vendor purchased the E-Type at Bonhams' Goodwood Revival sale in September 2012 (Lot 131). Since then the car has benefited from some £15,000 spent with marque specialists Twyford Moors on various works including rebuilding the differential and rear brake callipers; replacing the rear discs; fitting a new Facet fuel pump and braided fuel lines; renewing the steering rack mounts; fitting 1.2.3 electronic ignition; replacing the clutch slave cylinder; and repairing the alternator. Described as in generally very good condition, this ultimate British Gran Turismo is offered with sundry restoration invoices, current MoT/tax and V5C registration document.
