Superb, left-hand drive Series 1 4.2 that spent its early days in the US

Built towards the end of Series 1 production, this beautifully original E-Type found its first home in Seattle, Washington State with John M Fernandez before passing to its second custodian, Peter Wilzbach, in South Carolina in the late 1990s. Clearly in need of a little TLC by this time, over the next few years, the Jaguar was regularly used but received attention as and when required and this included a fresh coat of Willow Green paint and a full retrim, with the remainder of the car being checked and detailed where needed. The body is believed to be still wearing its original panels and under the outer skin, all remains superbly original with the correct stampings in place, the front frame being the most obvious. It was during this period that the E-Type embarked on a successful stint on the Concours show circuit winning 'Best Jaguar in Class' within the Jaguar Clubs of North America in 2013 scoring a tremendous 99.4%, and the trophy remains with the car to this day.

Shortly after, the car was advertised for sale in Hemmings Motor News and sold on the first day to our vendor who flew from London and when he saw the car, was so impressed that he paid the asking price, shipping the car back to the UK to join his small collection. On its arrival, a program of mechanical works was decided upon to raise the vehicle to its current level. This included a total strip and rebuild of the engine by E-Type UK, rear axle removal, a diff rebuild including a change to Euro-spec diff ratios and the car was fully detailed before everything was reunited. Remaining in superb condition throughout and still with its original toolkit in place, this genuine three-owner E-Type is an absolute delight.

On the button, sensibly guided and waiting for only its fourth proud owner since leaving the factory on 15 February 1967, this is an excellent opportunity to own a cared for Series 1 in one of the most attractive colour combinations we have seen.
