This notably early 4.2 E-Type was supplied new in LHD form via Jaguar Cars of New York. It left the factory in December 1964 but appears not to have been registered to its first keeper, a Curtis Whitlow Hammons, until July 1967. It is possible it was retained as a demonstrator during this period. ‘ABM306B’ remained in his ownership prior to being imported to the UK by SNG Barrett and sold to Midland Sporting Classic Cars of Burton from whom the vendor acquired it in 1989. It has therefore had just two private owners from new and the mileage of c.107,000 miles is believed to be correct. Retaining its original engine and subframe, the car was subject to an extensive restoration which was completed in 2009. Converted to RHD, it also received new outer sill panels, new door skins, rear arch repair panels, new foot wells and lead loading around the rear hatch. The vendor advises the remainder of the bodywork is original including the boot floor, monocoque floor and bonnet. Originally painted blue with navy blue leather, it was repainted in Carmen Red with pale grey interior by Suffolk & Turley. A detailed record of expenditure accompanies the car.
A number of recognised changes to original specification have been made to improve the driving experience and include; Coopercraft four-pot front brake callipers, XJ Series Two rear brake callipers, XJ12 3.07 LSD, Copper brake lines, Koni shock absorbers, hidden small modern washer motor and a US-made ‘Coolcat’ fan operated by a restored Otter Switch. Cared for to a high standard since, the vendor now rates the bodywork, paint, and trim as “excellent” and engine & transmission as “very good”. Offered with a large collection of invoices and old MoTs this fine-looking E-Type could not be replicated for the asking price.
