Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 FHC

The Jaguar E-Type is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful sports cars ever built. With its exceptionally long hood, elegant roofline, and timeless proportions, it became one of the most iconic British sports cars of all time. The early Series 1 models, in particular, are highly prized by enthusiasts and collectors today.

This vehicle is a Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 Fixed Head Coupé, built on October 29, 1965. The accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate confirms the original factory configuration. At the time, the car was delivered in the particularly elegant Opalescent Silver Grey color, paired with a red leather interior. A classic and exceptionally stylish color combination that really brings out the beautiful lines of the E-Type.

What makes this E-Type particularly interesting is the extensive restoration and overhaul work that has been carried out in recent years at a total cost of around 70,000€. Between 2022 and 2024, the car underwent restoration by several specialized companies, including Garage Descamps and Louis Classics. The 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine underwent an extensive overhaul, which included work on the cylinders, pistons, bearings, cylinder head, valves, timing system, and various internal engine components. Lubrication, cooling, and ignition were also given the necessary attention. In addition to the engine, work was also carried out on the manual transmission, the clutch, the carburetors, and various components of the electrical system. Furthermore, the work was not limited to the powertrain. The braking system, suspension, steering system, and various interior components were also inspected, repaired, or replaced. In addition, attention was paid to the interior finishes, including the leather upholstery.

The result is a Jaguar E-Type in which attention was paid not only to its appearance, but in which significant investment was also made in the technical aspects that are so important to the driving pleasure and reliability of a classic sports car.

With its atmospheric 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine, manual transmission, and distinctive driving experience, this E-Type offers exactly the combination for which the model is renowned worldwide.

In short, a particularly appealing British classic, both for the collector looking for a stunning E-Type Series 1 and for the enthusiast who wants to enjoy classic rallies, weekend drives, and long trips on scenic roads.
