According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate, chassis 1R35305 was built on 28th April 1969 and supplied new via Howells of Cardiff to P.G. Lane Esq. of Tredegar. Initially finished in Signal Red with Black leather upholstery, the same livery was chosen when the Jaguar was restored in the mid/late 1990s. Stripped to bare metal, the bodyshell reportedly had the following parts either replaced or refurbished: bonnet, doors, rear hatch, windscreen, door handles/locks, chrome body fittings, carburettors, fuel pump, distributor, clutch, brakes, exhaust system/manifolds, starter motor, wiper motor, heater fan, alternator, radio, ignition system, horn, indicator arm, instruments, suspension bushes, shock absorbers, steering rack/mountings, wheel bearings, radiator and forward wiring harness. Resprayed in cellulose, undersealed and given a cavity treatment, the E-Type also benefited from a thoroughly retrimmed interior: seats, door cards, carpets, headlining, dash top, soft trim and Webasto sunroof. Understood to have covered a mere 3,000 or so miles since work was completed, ‘UFJ 532’ is rated by the vendor – its custodian of the last fourteen years – as being ‘very good’ (bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment) or ‘excellent’ (original engine, four-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment). Offered for sale with paperwork dating back to 1986, restoration invoices and MOT till May 2022.
