1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2

E-TYPE Series 1 Fixed Head Coupe in sensational colour combination – Fully Restored – Matching Numbers

From July 1964, the E-TYPE received its first improvement. The 4.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine replaced the 3.8-litre, a new fully synchronized gearbox, larger brakes and new, more comfortable seats were added. The bodywork of the beautiful E-TYPE Series 1 was left untouched.

This E-TYPE was built at JAGUAR in Coventry in December 1964 and delivered to the USA, California.

The good climate gave the car a good life, providing an excellent basis for the complete restoration in 2012-2013. The E-Type was completely dismantled, including the bodywork, the entire mechanical system and the interior.

The owner's collection was missing an E-TYPE Series 1. Due to his height, driving a Series 1 E-TYPE would actually have been impossible, but the desire to own one and drive it extensively was so great that, during the restoration of the bodywork, the bulkhead behind the seats was accurately and cleverly moved slightly further back, allowing the seats to be positioned further back as well. Job successfully completed, the dream was fulfilled.

The exterior colour Black with a red interior was chosen, a correct combination available from the factory for the E-TYPE.

From 2013-2025, the E-TYPE was driven regularly and extensively and continuously serviced without regard to cost. The result is an automotive dream, here also for the taller E-TYPE enthusiast.
