Auction description:

22 February 2022 at Sandown Park Racecourse

1970 Jaguar E-Type Roadster

Guide Price: £70,000 to £80,000

Registration No:  BHY 967H

Mileometer:  69,530

Chassis No:  PIR13416

MOT:  Exempt

Colour: Red

This 1970 Jaguar E-Type Series 2 Roadster left hand drive example is described by the vendor to be in very good condition, and to drive very well. With only one owner in the US, one owner in the UK, and only 69,000 miles showing, this matching numbers car is a rare find. The original US owner was an army captain, and the vendor purchased the car from him and imported the car himself. On arrival new floors were fitted, and some work was carried out to keep the car in excellent running order.

The car has full paperwork back to and including the original purchase, heritage certificate, and some interesting maintenance paperwork - diagrams on fixing the mechanical elements of the whole car as posters in a pouch. The original service manual, owner’s handbook, tools and jack are also with the car. The car sits garaged in Roehampton, has been regularly run twice weekly, and has had a restorer checking all elements of the car since the vendor took its stewardship.

Auction description:

1970 Jaguar E-Type

Colour Red

Odometer 69,781 Miles

Engine size 4235cc

Seller Type Private

London, United Kingdom

Only 2 former registered keepers

Supplied with rare factory hard top and power steering

Very smart and highly original car in metallic red 

Large history file including original bill of sale 

Regular monthly and bi-monthly maintenance by Jagur mechanic

A fine example of these very usable cars with desirable options

This very pretty red metallic 1970 OTS left the factory with two highly desirable options that it usefully retains - an ultra rare matching hard top and power steering. The former gives drivers coupe or convertible versatility, while the latter considerably improves the driveability of these GT cars. 

It has had just two keepers, the first - a USA army captain - until 2015. The current keeper added it to his collection in 2015 before importing it to the UK in 2020. 

In very good condition, it is clear that this both highly original andhas wanted for nothing throughout its life. The history file dates back to the original bill of sale. The car received new floors when it arrived in the UK but otherwise has only needed regular checks, servicing and fettling. We are told it is attended to by a Jaguar mechanic at monthly and bi-monthly intervals. 

This is a really good example of the short-lived and rare OTS Series 2 E-Type.

First registered in 1970 in the USA

Only two registered keepers

Originally purchased by an army captain in the United States who owned it until 2015

Current keeper purchased the car in 2015

Extensive documentation including the original bill of sale from 1970

Comprehensive paperwork supporting the vehicle's history

Comes with original tools, jacks, and tool kits

Includes various printed ephemera from the vehicle's history as shown 

Stored in dry protected storage in Connecticut with an E-Type specialist for five years prior to arriving in UK

Imported to the UK in 2020 and has been garaged since arrival

Factory handbooks, literature and other paperwork as shown 

Part of a small classic car collection 

Factory hard top included 

Original Jaguar ‘Passport’ and workshop folder as shown 

Maintained by a Jaguar mechanical at monthly and bi monthly intervals since 2020 

Described as ‘very original’ by the seller 

The vendor tells us: 

“I bought this car in 2015 and I was the second person to own it after the original owner. Which means that all of the paperwork that comes with it and its provenance are all from the original purchase back in 1970, of which you will see in the photographs the original bill of sale. It also comes with tools, jacks, tool kits, all original pieces, some amazing printed ephemera that also comes with the car.

“I had intended for it to be the car that I kept for many decades. I have other classic cars, some of which are in the process of renovation, and so this car sat in dry protected storage in Connecticut, with an E Type specialist for the first five years after I purchased it, before coming to the UK in 2020. It has been garaged at the house which is shown in the photographs for every day of its life since.

“Since I have had it, I've not really done enough miles in it, but it has had continual updates, engine tuning, reconditioning and all the things that you would expect from owning a nearly 60 year old car. The first thing I did when I received the car into the UK was to replace the entire floor of the car, which was quite an undertaking.

“I've been at pains throughout my ownership of this car to maintain and improve the excellent provenance that comes with it.

“This car was purchased and owned by an army captain in 1970 in the United States until I purchased it in 2015. It's an original car that was originally bought by him with lots of extras and those have been maintained throughout its life. This is not a car that's been to a classic restorers and been taken apart and had a nut and bolt restoration. It is a very good car that has been looked after throughout its life. Our restorer/mechanic is a specialist in Jaguar and attends the car on a monthly/bi monthly basis, checking the sort of things that I should check, were I to have more than a limited knowledge of mechanics.

“That said, this is a very forgiving car that through its upgrades and attention, is a get in and drive car.”
