Comments from the dealer

1965 Jaguar E-Type Series 1 4.2L Roadster * Matching Numbers*. Original RHD. One of the Purest Icons of British Motoring, This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable and beautifully preserved examples of Jaguar legendary Series 1 E-Type Roadster, a genuine 1965 4.2-litre model, complete with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate (#74945) verifying its authenticity and specification. According to historical documentation, this particular Jaguar E-Type was first registered in South Australia in 1967, it changed hands in 1978 and moved to New South Wales, before being sold again in 1988 and transported to Queensland, restoration commenced in 1994 with final restoration completed in 2011 supported by detailed documentations and itemised invoices along with a collection of photographs documenting the process. The car remained in the care of the same owner who continued to preserve the E-Type with great care for more than three decades, eventually offering it at auction in May 2024, where it was acquired by a passionate collector of rare eclectic classic vehicles who has now traded it in with us for a significantly rarer, Million-dollar exotic collectable investment classic. Lovingly cherished, always garaged, and kept under cover, the vehicle was only taken out on special occasions for selected events. For the past decade, it has been stored away from the elements, seldom seen in public, and kept in pristine condition. Beneath its signature long, sculpted bonnet lies Jaguars iconic 4.2-litre straight-six engine. Every mechanical component, down to the smallest bolt, has been either expertly restored or meticulously maintained to factory standards. The interior is equally impressive, featuring period-correct leather seats and the classic wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, a timeless tribute to the design and craftsmanship that made the early E-Types true automotive icons. This genuine early ( No Mirror ) series 1 model 4.2L example is so rare and collectable, sought after by Jaguar fanatics, enthusiasts and purists.
