Auction 23589: Goodwood Members' Meeting
13:00 GMT
Chichester, Goodwood

This matching-numbers 'Series 1' E-Type roadster was delivered new to the USA in June 1963 and sold via Jaguar Cars, New York to its first owner, one E C Reicholderfer. The accompanying Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate records the original exterior finish as Opalescent Golden Sand - a rare colour - with Tan interior and Sand hood. Between 1990 and 2012 the car had the same owner in the USA; the intervening owners, if any, are not known.

While in the USA the E-Type benefited from extensive refurbishment, being treated to a bodywork restoration at MAACO (1990-94); new leather, carpets and Hardura trim from G W Bartlett (1990); new windscreen (1991); new body and trim seals from XKs Unlimited (1991); and re-plated brightwork by Classic Chrome (1992). More recently, in June 2012, the car had the exhaust replaced in the USA and underwent full re-commissioning, the engine, drive train, paint, trim, electrics, suspension and steering all receiving attention. There is a detailed 8-page printout of a $20,000 bill in the extensive file of US history, and the car also comes with handbooks, a UK V5C registration document and an MoT certificate valid until February 2017. Running well, it represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire one of these iconic British sports cars finished in a particularly rare colour scheme.
