As the accompanying Heritage Certificate confirms, this particular Coupe was built on 22nd May 1969 and was despatched to British Leyland, New York, on 4th June. It was finished in Light Blue with a Dark Blue leather interior, manual transmission and left-hand drive.

Nothing is known of the subsequent history of the car until it was brought back to the UK by leading Jaguar parts suppliers, SNG Barratt of Bridgnorth. A few months later they sold it to a customer who was planning to restore the car but sadly he passed away not long after and the car was put into storage where it was to remain for the next 27 years.

Recently retrieved from its long-term resting place, the E-Type is being sold here with no reserve and strictly 'as seen'. The car is clearly missing several components (including both doors) and what you see is what you get. On the plus side, all the missing parts are readily available from suppliers such as SNG Barratt, and we are told that the car is a 'matching numbers' machine that retains its original engine and is also in its original paint colour.

With E-Type values seemingly on a relentless upwards trajectory of late, it should amply reward the remedial works now required and could be converted to right-hand drive if desired using a kit of parts readily available from specialists.

It comes with the aforementioned Heritage Certificate plus import papers from 1989 to show that all duties have been paid, so getting it UK-registered should be straightforward with the requisite DVLA form.
