Gearbox No. EE1320
Body No. 4E8089

The E-Type roadster presented here is an early 1968 model, it is one of the few E-Types that are today popularly known as Series I 1/2 cars as they utilize the open headlight bonnets but are otherwise are very similar to the Series I cars retaining the very favorable 4.2 liter engine. This Jaguar is a California original car with only two owners since new and it comes with the small California pink slip. Just in time for the auction the car was treated to a comprehensive cosmetic restoration and mechanical service by a Jaguar marque specialist, Classic Showcase.

During the process of this restoration the vehicle was body worked and fitted, all body parts painted separately, painted in base coat, clear coat, color sanded and buffed to the spectacular finish you see today. The interior was refurbished meticulously as well as the assembly of the vehicle. Finished in opalescent silver-gray metallic with a dark blue interior, fully detailed, in top mechanical condition and freshly restored, this Jaguar is ready for anything. The question then becomes what to do with an E-Type truly in its prime?

Addendum
Please note that the serial number for this car is J681E16119.

very sure that she has a wrong bonnet! And even with a good right one the car should be around US$ 50k max. from what I see so far and not have and estimate twice as high as in the auction.

Sold for $90,750 at the '06 RM auction. Definitely an S2 bonnet.
