This Jaguar E-Type is a classic 1970s roadster which has been carefully restored and sensitively upgraded. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V12, delivering a dyno-proven 201.5bhp through a newly replaced five-speed ‘ZF’ manual transmission. This E-Type was originally delivered to the USA and went on to form part of a Dutch classic car collection. It was then exported briefly to the UK before being purchased by the seller and exported to Australia, where it was restored, converted to RHD, and is now offered for sale. The five-digit odometer displays 55,805 miles, which is reported to be the correct total from new, though this cannot be warranted. Originally finished in Greensand, this example was subsequently resprayed in British Racing Green now with a matching new green soft top over a new tan leather-trimmed cabin, punctuated by wooden inlays. It rides on a set of 15-inch chrome wire wheels, secured with triple-eared knock-offs and fitted with Avon tyres. Equipment includes a row of rocker switches for the car’s auxiliary functions, Smiths gauges, a locking glovebox, and a vintage-style radio. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s handbook, a detailed workshop repair manual, UK export paperwork, import approval documents, a Jaguar Heritage Trust Production Record Trace Certificate, a NSW Transport engineering compliance certificate, various restoration invoices, a dynamometer print out, a current NSW Historic Certificate of Conditional Registration, a service invoice, the original 15-inch steering wheel, and a bespoke fitted indoor stretch car cover.

Specific notes from the seller include: minor paint striations on the narrow scuttle below the windscreen. The seller notes that the vehicle was previously resprayed in its current shade of British Racing Green and that the interior has been newly reupholstered, which included fitting new door cards and carpets. There is a valid NSW registration in place, which expires on 4 November 2024. The car was last serviced in February 2024 at 55,708 miles by Concours Sportscar Restoration, who carried out a seven-hour service. This included thoroughly inspecting the vehicle, lubricating the internals of the tachometer, fixing the door top trim, and replacing the engine oil, oil filter, and front brake pads. Various invoices documenting the restoration and other works carried out are visible in the photo gallery. The Jaguar E-Type is a desirable classic British sports car, famed for its beautiful styling and range of smooth and powerful engines. This example has been treated to a meticulous restoration, which included fitting several thoughtfully considered and well-integrated upgrades such as air conditioning, a vintage-style stereo, a ZF manual gearbox, and a stainless-steel exhaust manifold system. Praised by the seller for “turning heads wherever it goes” and having travelled just 500 miles since its primary restoration, it would make a superb addition to any classic car collection, and is sure to attract plenty of interest at any car show or event. The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
