Car now in the UK, previously Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Auction description:

Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th January 2023

1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE 4.2 SERIES II 2+2 COUPE

Estimate:  £28,000 - £32,000

V5 present

MoT exempt

Chassis number: 1E78848

We have been advised by the vendor that much work has been undertaken recently including the head, water pump and radiator, full brake rebuild including new servo, new steering rack, fuel tank, fuel pump and battery. In addition a new headlining has been fitted and new wheel nuts supplied.

The Carmen Red car was originally registered abroad as a personal import, and was left-hand drive; there is a certificate of registration for Nova Scotia in Canada in the paperwork file. The car has since been converted back to right-hand drive and was registered in the UK in June 2019. The history folder includes the V5C, a few recent bills, numberplate authorisation documentation and Jaguar Heritage Trust production record trace certificate (Heritage Certificate). There is no MoT; as an historic vehicle, the Jaguar no longer requires one. The odometer shows 8031 miles and just a single owner is noted since the E-type returned to the UK.
