Chassis Number 1R1478

Original UK supplied righthand drive example

Fully matching numbers

Original colour combination

This stunning original righthand drive 1970 Jaguar E-type Series II with a build date of 3rd December 1969 still holds its original registration number of HHC 539H. Available from small private collection, this car was initially purchased through the original dealer, Willets (Eastbourne) by Mr. I. Panto of Hove, Sussex on 27th January 1970, this was midway through the very limited Series II production (1968-1971). This example comes with a J.D.H.T Heritage Certificate confirming these details and its original colour scheme of Signal Red with black interior and hood.

Accompanying this car is a large history file with invoices dating back to 1981 and MoT test certificates to 1975 verifying the mileage as correct. This is a very original, well maintained and non-modified car, it was subject to a sympathetic restoration over the past three years that included body and paintwork, a full retrim, new hood and a full mechanical overhaul, this appreciating classic is truly ready for many years of enjoyment.

It is very unusual to find an E-type with the optional and, expensive at the time, chrome disc wheels. This example is also in stunning condition throughout, with no known faults and is described by the vendor as having an ‘out of the factory’ feel. The Series II E-Types have many improvements over the Series I cars; better lighting, brakes and cooling and importantly an improved gear change and smoother engine all adding up to a much improved and refined car.

* Our vendor has stated that for an agreed price he will offer a mechanical warranty with the purchase of this vehicle, this is testimony of the quality of this example which is simply magnificent.

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?
