Car has been imported from the USA. It had been in dry storage for 25 years so the body is in exellent condition. The paintwork, hoses, pipes, interior have all suffered from the heat. An excellent car to restore.

Auction description:
The Imperial War Museum Duxford Motor Car Auction 15/11/2017
Lot 129
1968 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 2+2
Estimate: £35,000 - £45,000

`STN 169F' is a Series 1.5 model that was dry stored in the USA for 25 years before being repatriated in 2005. Since then it has been the subject of a gradual comprehensive restoration that's included conversion to righthand drive, a bare metal respray in British Racing Green, the installation of new Black leather interior trim (with the exception of the rear seat material), and overhaul of the 4.2-litre engine. Along the way it has acquired a stainless steel performance exhaust manifold and five-speed manual Getrag gearbox. However, due to unforeseen circumstances the Jaguar has remained unused since the completion of the work, and so is reluctantly being made available for sale. The odometer currently displays a credible (though unwarranted) 59,705 miles, and the vendor presently regards the car's bodywork, paintwork, XK engine and replacement transmission as all being in `very good condition, and the interior trim as `good'. The Jaguar comes complete with photos of the respray and engine overhaul. An affordable entry into the wonderful world of the E-Type.
