    The Series 1 4.2 is regarded by many as being one of the most desirable of all Jaguar E-types, retaining the style of the early cars but featuring a number of significant improvements. 

    The beautiful example being offered for sale here has completed only a handful of miles since a complete restoration. Chassis number 1E 14549 was originally a left-hand drive car that was dispatched from the factory to Jaguar Cars New York on 24 February 1967. Finished in Willow Green with a black interior, it was then delivered to its first owner – a William H Wilson. 

    During the 1980s and 1990s, the E-type was owned by an enthusiast in Alameda, California, but by the time it was exported back to the UK in 2015 via a Florida-based specialist, it was in need of a total rebuild. 

    The work was completed with no expense being spared. Renowned specialist Martin Robey carried out a full restoration on the Jaguar’s bodywork, while new engine side-frames and the ‘picture frame’ crossmember were also fitted–plus reinforced inner sills. 

    The car was converted to right-hand drive, the engine, suspension and braking system were all rebuilt, the interior was retrimmed in its original colour, and the bodywork was treated to a painstaking eight-layer paint process during which it was refinished in black.

    The total cost of the restoration was more than £100,000, and the E-type was first registered in the UK in March 2020. It retains its matching-numbers engine (7E 11905-9) and is supplied with an extensive file of invoices and photographs that document the rebuild.

    Few cars from any era can match the style of a Series 1 E-type Roadster, and this example remains in exceptional condition following its return to the road. It’s a beautiful, fast and extremely usable choice of open-top sports car – just as it was during the 1960s.
