Jaguar E-Type Series 1 Flat Floor 3.8 FHC RHD

Finished in Imperial Maroon with Maroon leather interior. According to the Jaguar Heritage Certificate, this genuine factory right hand drive E-Type was manufactured on 18th December 1961 despatched to Henlys in London on 10th January 1962. Looks to have been purchased by a wealthy farmer a Mr Malan in Ladybrand, South Africa. In 1988 it found its way to New Zealand, courtesy of a Mr. John Lawrence where the car would remain for more than 25 years. From 2003 the car was used sparingly with just over 2,000 miles up to 2015 when the E-Type found a new owner based in the UK. Once repatriated, the Jaguar was entrusted to Lincoln-based Richards of England and given a concourse restoration. The car was stripped and taken back to bare metal with focus on retaining as many of the original panels as possible. around 500 hours on the fabrication work. The car was repainted in the original Imperial Maroon colour. The engine was rebuilt by M&C Wilkinson and both the gearbox and axle were also rebuilt. A no stone left unturned� restoration. The chrome work, of which there is plenty, was all re-chromed and the interior was retrimmed in Maroon Connolly Vaumol hide. New woolen carpets were fitted along with a new headlining. Richards of England did the best job possible in restoring this Jaguar to an exemplary standard. Chassis number 860120 is the 120th right hand drive coup� manufactured thus making it a rare model. This outstanding Jaguar is supplied with a V5 registration document, a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a comprehensive history folder. Id advise to come and view this E-Type flat floor in person to fully appreciate the quality of this beautiful example.
