1966 Jaguar E Type 2+2

Since 2026
I have always loved the iconic E type Jaguar. Some tears ago I let mine go and regretted it ever since, then two years ago an opportunity came up for me to own another. This time I have subjected the car to a total nut and bolt rebuild. It is absolutely stunning! This is an original, unmolested series one car in the best jaguar colour of the time. The paintwork is beautiful following a bare metal respray. This was a great base car having been a South African car (truly dry state) zero rust was found and of course an original right hand drive. POWER A rebuilt 4 speed all synchro gearbox An original specification high ratio differential Rebuilt 4. 2 litre engine with larger radiator, dual fans, upgraded oil pump and filter system. Rebuilt and tuned SU carbs. The car has been carefully run in covering only approximately 1, 200 since the rebuild. SUSPENSION The front and rear suspension has been completely rebuilt and upgraded with; Race specification Torsion bars and adjustable Spax shock absorbers, new wheel bearings, driveshaft universal joints and suspension arm bushes. BRAKES The brakes have been upgraded with larger ventilated front disks and four pot Zeus callipers. The rear disks have been replaced with upgraded race spec pads. The entire fuel system has been replaced including a new tank. I have personally overseen a complete nut and bolt restoration, including a bare metal respray, of this fabulous, very nearly concourse, Series 1 E Type. The photos really speak for themselves regarding the painstaking work that has been put into bringing this particularly sort after Series 1 car back to the road. Together with the subtle improvements, you can be confident of a reliable and enjoyable experience. What the photos don't show are the subtle, unobtrusive, but in my view, essential mechanical upgrades that make this car such a joy to drive, even in modern traffic. In summary, this is a beautifully presented, rust free car, still retaining its original panels, that has been subject to a two-year complete restoration. The car has also been treated to a perfect blend of seamless, yet, essential mechanical upgrades. In essence, a stunning series 1 E Type that goes, handles, and stops every bit as well as it looks.
