This Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2 FHC is a reportedly highly original example of the classic British sports car, treated to a minor mechanical overhaul in 2019. It is powered by a triple-carburetted 4.2-litre inline-six, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market, reportedly matching-numbers E-Type is said to be the 80th-to-last Series 1 example produced, and was first delivered via Bryson Industries Ltd Melbourne. The odometer shows 68,025 miles,which the seller believes to be genuine and notes is supported by the car’s extensive history file. Build year: April 1967 This example is finished in Opalescent Silver Grey over a beige leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on its original 15-inch wire wheels with twin-eared knock-offs and Michelin tyres. Equipment includes a wooden-rimmed steering wheel, pop-out rear windows, original rear view mirror, and the original ‘His Master’s Voice’ radio with central speaker. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s handbook, dealer list, maintenance book, polishing instructions, radio handbook, a Jaguar Heritage Trust production record certificate, a spare wire wheel with a 1973 Michelin tyre fitted, and an extensive history file including letters from previous owners and photographers. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: slight corrosion on the driver’s door and ‘patina’ on the seats. The seller also reports that the vehicle has received ‘blow over’ topcoat resprays on various panels. There is a valid Queensland registration in place, which expires on 21 July 2025. The car was last serviced in September 2023 at 67,893 miles by Hightech Motors, who removed and overhauled the front brake callipers and master cylinder, and replaced the engine oil and filter. The two previous services took place in August 2020 at 66,966 miles and April 2019 at 65,053 miles. The car was refreshed in 2019, which included re-shimming the camshafts, restoring the carburettors, fitting electronic points, overhauling the radiator and alternator, fitting a new electric fan, rebuilding the heater fan, overhauling the steering rack, re-sleeving the master and slave cylinders, aligning the wheels, installing a stainless-steel exhaust, fitting a radiator stone grille, and replacing the HT leads, various hoses and clamps, fan belt, spark plugs, tie rods, radiator mounts, picture frame rack bolts, battery clamp, and vacuum hoses. The Jaguar E-Type made its debut in March 1961 and immediately impressed with its curvaceous styling. This reportedly matching-numbers example is said to be the 80th-from-last Series 1 E-Type produced, and is finished in the attractive hue of Opalescent Silver Grey. Having remained in Australia from new, this E-Type would make an excellent addition to any collection and a characterful companion for weekend cruises and trips to any number of classic car shows and events.
