Offered in turn-key condition, this leading-edge Series 1 Jaguar 4.2 litre E-Type Coupé is a credit to its last custodian and an absolute asset to the next.

Behind the wheel, from every conceivable angle the cockpit’s switch gear, carpets and double stitched Connelly leather bucket seats aren’t just correct, they’ve been masterfully fitted.

To drive, this car is quick. With a near instant throttle response the steering is also so well balanced and fast, the weight and feel of the pedals is as though they’ve been cut from one piece, gear changes have that signature click-click feel and the overall atmosphere is totally engaging, never ever boring.

The combination of its handsome colours, masterful restoration, original accompaniments, winning history and unrivalled provenance make this already rare and desirable Bluechip classic something extra special.
