Advertised on Carsales.com.au 26 March 2020 for sale asking AU$270,000. The car is located in Melbourne, Australia.
Seller’s description follows: “Dispatched on the 26th of March 1965, this matching numbers (including cylinder head), right hand drive, 4.2 litre, Series 1 fixed head coupe was finished in Carmen Red with black trim. Purchased in 2015, as a sound and tidy E-type in need of some TLC, the Jaguar was sent straight for restoration to it's former glory. The interior was stripped completely, the body was media blasted and any imperfections in the body were repaired including the fitment of new sills, both left & right. The bodywork including the engine bay was then prepared and painted in original Carmen Red. The trim work was carried out by 'Sports & Specialist Trimming' of Richmond, including the leather seats, all new carpets, headlining, rear hatch and all side trims. The only deviation from standard was to fit 3.8 litre Series 1 embossed aluminium trims to the centre console. Even so, with the level of workmanship and originality the E-type was awarded gold at the 2017 Jaguar Car Club Victoria Concours D'Elegance”.
