For sale at The Classic Connection Classic and Performance Cars of Ringwood for £169,995. Abbreviated seller's description below.

www.classicconnection.co.uk/vehicles/jaguar-e-type-series-1-4-2-coupe-1967-fully ...

OPO42E is an original UK supplied E Type first registered in January 1967 making it one of the last Series 1 Coupes built. Over the last few years we have completely rebuilt the car from the ground up. Presented in its original colour of Old English White with dark red interior. Every effort has been made to keep it original throughout apart from uprated front callipers and a stainless steel exhaust.

The body was stripped and underwent media blasting with all rust and filler removed. Panels were replaced including doors, rear wings, sills and underside including the boot area. All panels were lead loaded then once the body was complete chrome work, lights and panels were fitted and adjusted. The engine was stripped with the block, crank, con rods and fly wheel machined and balanced; the engine was rebuilt with new pistons.

The four speed gearbox was rebuilt. The front suspension and steering was stripped, worn plates replaced and others zinc coated or powder coated as required. The rear axle, brakes and suspension were rebuilt. The interior and headlining were retrimmed and all dials were rebuilt and recalibrated. A new wiring loom has been installed and the radio modernised. This is a chance to own a new E Type in a wonderful period combination.

Car to be at auction 8/21

1967 JAGUAR E Type S1 4.2 Coupe

Est: £131,000 - £150,000

This Series 1 4.2 litre E Type is, in our humble opinion, just about as good as they get.

It has been the subject of a ground up, bare metal, nut and bolt restoration carried out by experts who do this for a living - Classic Connection of Burley, Hampshire.

The investor for whom they were doing the restoration work had about £147,000 of skin in the game by the time the car was restored to its current condition.

The car was manufactured on the 15.11.66 and first registered on 1.1.67, which makes it one of the last Series 1 4.2 models to roll off the production line. As you know, proximity to the end of a production run is usually considered a good thing in car terms as it tends to suggest that much of the initial snagging has been done.

The car has been restored in various ways in 1999, 2000 and 2004. The engine was overhauled in 2007 and again during the recent restoration. At some point in its history, a 5-speed Getrag gearbox was fitted.

Fans of authenticity will be pleased to hear that an original spec 4-speed box was sourced from America (from a Mr. Crook, who thankfully failed to live up to his name).

The current restoration work was undertaken around four years ago.

Classic Connection’s restoration has addressed every inch of the car, mechanically, structurally, aesthetically – inside, outside and underneath. As much as possible of the original car has been retained, refurbished, refreshed and resurrected rather than renewed.

The floor pan has been replaced and the car boasts Cooper Craft brakes and a stainless steel exhaust system.

Apart from that, it’s just as the good folk at Browns Lane intended, only better screwed together and effectively brand new.

It is a joy to look at, sit in and drive.

We have taken it for a spin and can report that it starts on the button, goes and stops as it should and is all you could wish for from a properly sorted Series 1 4.2 coupé.

To all intents and purposes, this is a showroom-fresh car.

It is unblemished, unmarked and, for the last 4 or so years, pretty much unused. The odometer reads 63 miles (or something like that) since the engine was overhauled and the dials replaced, and we reckon we’ve done about half of them.

On the Outside

Well, what’s not to like?

Old English White paintwork that looks like it’s never left the living room let alone been driven on public roads.

Dink, dent, crack, chip, nick, smudge, warp and ripple-free flanks.

Tight, consistent shut lines that are almost certainly better than anything Alf, Bert and Nobby could have managed at Browns Lane in 1967.

Bright and shiny chrome work, pristine wheels, immaculate-looking trim and badging.

It’s all good.

It’s our job to find something wrong with every car, so here goes: there’s a very slightly grotty centimetre of rubber seal inside the gutter at the top of the windscreen on the offside.

As far as we can see, that’s it.

And we’re being very picky indeed.

It really is an exceptionally good-looking car.

On the Inside

The good news continues uninterrupted on the inside.

With pretty much everything renewed, replaced, repaired or refurbished during the restoration process, it’s a glorious symphony of new red leather and carpets.

The seats are supportive, comfortable and in top condition. This is a car you could take on long journeys without having to crawl out of it on your hands and knees or call a chiropractor when you finally arrive at your destination.

The dashboard is equally impressive. So, too, are the carpets, door cars, luggage area, roof lining, gear lever, steering wheel, handbrake and the period-looking radio.

Do we have any finicky, picky, mean-spirited observations?

Well, if you insist.

We spotted that the carpet on the bulkhead behind the driver’s seat has come a little loose.

Also, the interior indicator light doesn’t currently want to tell you when you’re indicating left.

There is absolutely nothing else to mention that we’re aware of.

As far as we can tell, all dials, gauges, knobs, levers, toggles, switches and buttons work as intended.

Naturally, lifting up the carpets reveals….nothing to worry about whatsoever.

Underneath

The engine bay is a glorious sight and everything in it looks clean enough to eat off.

All appears to be as it should be and in its right and proper place. There is no sign of any leakage, seepage or weepage anywhere.

The undersides of the car look only barely acquainted with any kind of road use whatsoever.

They are clean and dry and feature many shiny and new suspension, braking and exhaust components.

Splendid.

History Highlights

The car comes with assorted paperwork, bills, invoices, tax discs, old MoT certificates and other bits and pieces, the highlights of which we have detailed in our photographic gallery.

The bills cover much of the earlier restoration work, carried out in the ‘90s and early 2000s, and include some highly respected names in E Type engineering and restoration – including Eagle.

You won’t find bills for the more recent work because the vendors did the restoration work themselves and, unsurprisingly, aren’t in the habit of sending themselves an invoice at the end of each working day.

The car doesn’t currently have an MoT certificate.

Please visit the documents section of the gallery of this listing where you will find photos of this and other paperwork to support our claim that this car has been maintained to a very good standard.

If you’d like to inspect the car prior to placing a bid – something we would encourage – then please use the Contact Seller button to arrange an appointment.

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
